      • Job's plea is that his words might be written, so that there might be a record in the Holy Scriptures.

      • Paul emphasizes the importance of remaining vigilant in watching and praying for the return of Christ.
      • Paul reminds the church in Thessalonica of their justification and sanctification through Christ, and encourages them to stand firm in the truth and to respond to salvation with strength and affirmation.
