9. For God has not appointed us to [incur His] wrath [He did not select us to condemn us], but [that we might] obtain [His] salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah)
10. Who died for us so that whether we are still alive or are dead [at Christ's appearing], we might live together with Him and share His life.
11. Therefore encourage (admonish, exhort) one another and edify (strengthen and build up) one another, just as you are doing.
