Context of 1 Thessalonians 5:11
9For God appointed us not unto wrath, but unto the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. Wherefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as also ye do. 12But we beseech you, brethren, to know them that labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; 13and to esteem them exceeding highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.
