1 Thessalonians 5:9 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 5

7 Pois os que dormem, dormem de noite; e os que ficam bêbados embebedam-se de noite.

8 Mas nós, que somos do dia, sejamos sóbrios, e nos vistamos da couraça da fé e do amor, e do capacete da esperança da salvação.

9 Porque Deus não nos destinou para a ira, mas, sim, para obtermos a salvação, por meio do nosso Senhor Jesus Cristo,

10 que morreu por nós, a fim de que, se estivermos vigiando ou dormindo, nós vivamos juntamente com ele.

11 Portanto exortai-vos uns aos outros, e edificai-vos uns aos outros, como já fazeis.
