1 THESSALONIANS 5:9 — KING JAMES VERSION 3 1
“For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,”
For God has not destined us for wrath but for salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ — predestination (prothesis, tithēmi) is toward salvation, not damnation; God's intention is redemptive. 'Through our Lord Jesus Christ' (dia kyriou Iēsou Christou) emphasizes Christ as the mediator of salvation. The exclusion from wrath is not accidental but purposed.
