This Scripture was from Apostle Paul, Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the Church of the Thessalonians (1st Thess. 1:1).

If others desire to sleep, don't let their slumber affect you from being ready for the return of the LORD. Folks can play games if they want to—don't ignore your spirit-man's attraction to CHRIST's righteousness.

V. 10: "And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut."
