1 Thessalonians 5:9 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 5

7 Car ceux qui dorment dorment la nuit, et ceux qui s’enivrent s’enivrent la nuit.

8 Mais nous qui sommes du jour, soyons sobres, ayant revêtu la cuirasse de la foi et de la charité, et ayant pour casque l’espérance du salut.

9 Car Dieu ne nous a pas destinés à la colère, mais à l’acquisition du salut par notre Seigneur Jésus-Christ,

10 qui est mort pour nous, afin que, soit que nous veillions, soit que nous dormions, nous vivions ensemble avec lui.

11 C’est pourquoi exhortez-vous réciproquement, et édifiez-vous les uns les autres, comme en réalité vous le faites.
