Context of 1 Thessalonians 5:11
9because God has not set us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10who has died for us, that whether we may be watching or sleep, we may live together with him. Wherefore encourage one another, and build up each one the other, even as also ye do. 12But we beg you, brethren, to know those who labour among you, and take the lead among you in [the] Lord, and admonish you, 13and to regard them exceedingly in love on account of their work. Be in peace among yourselves.
