“Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11NIV
===
It is thought this first epistle to Thessalonians was written by Paul from Corinth in 52, following Timothy's visit there. It seems to be before Paul has finished formalising his thoughts on several issues which he covers in later letters, like justification by faith, or Jewish and Gentile relations. But then this letter is some eighteen years before the fall of the temple, after which persecution of Christians was more of an issue.
Here, Paul is writing of the day of the Lord. The preceding verse reads "He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him."
