But since we are of the day, we must stay sober by putting on the breastplate of faith and love and as a helmet our hope for salvation.

For who is our hope or joy or crown to boast of before our Lord Jesus at his coming? Is it not of course you?

Now we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve like the rest who have no hope.

because we recall in the presence of our God and Father your work of faith and labor of love and endurance of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ.
