The Thessalonians’ Faith and Example

2 ^aWe give thanks to God always for all of you, ^bconstantly¹ mentioning you in our prayers, 3 remembering before our God and Father your ^cwork of ^dfaith and labor of ^elove and steadfastness of ^fhope in our Lord Jesus Christ.

8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having ^mput on the ⁿbreastplate of ^ofaith and love, and for a ^phelmet the hope of salvation.
