1 Thessalonians 5:9

9 For God has not destined us for 1wrath, but for 2obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

1 Thessalonians 5:9 In-Context

7 For those who sleep do their sleeping at night, and those who get drunk get drunk at night.
8 But since we are of the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him.
11 Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.
