1 Thessalonians 5:11
9 For God has not appointed us to suffer wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him.
Therefore encourage and build one another up, just as you are already doing.
12 But we ask you, brothers, to acknowledge those who work diligently among you, who preside over you in the Lord and give you instruction.
13 In love, hold them in highest regard because of their work. Live in peace with one another.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
