1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 in context
10Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
12And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

15See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
