| 1 Thes. 5:1 |
But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need [for anything] to be written to you; |
| 1 Thes. 5:2 |
For you yourselves know perfectly well that like a thief in the night, so the day of the Lord comes. |
| 1 Thes. 5:3 |
When they say, Peace and security, then sudden destruction comes upon them, just as birth pangs to a woman with child; and they shall by no means escape. |
| 1 Thes. 5:4 |
But you, brothers, are not in darkness that the day should overtake you like a thief; |
| 1 Thes. 5:5 |
For you are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. |
| 1 Thes. 5:6 |
So then let us not sleep, as the rest do, but let us watch and be sober. |
| 1 Thes. 5:7 |
For those who sleep, sleep during the night, and those who get drunk are drunk during the night; |
| 1 Thes. 5:8 |
But since we are of the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love and a helmet, the hope of salvation. |
| 1 Thes. 5:9 |
For God did not appoint us to wrath but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| 1 Thes. 5:10 |
Who died for us in order that whether we watch or sleep, we may live together with Him. |
| 1 Thes. 5:11 |
Therefore comfort one another, and build up each one the other, even as you also do. |
| 1 Thes. 5:12 |
Furthermore we ask you, brothers, to acknowledge those who labor among you and take the lead among you in the Lord and admonish you, |
| 1 Thes. 5:13 |
And to regard them most highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves. |
| 1 Thes. 5:14 |
And we exhort you, brothers, Admonish the disorderly, console the fainthearted, sustain the weak, be long-suffering toward all. |
| 1 Thes. 5:15 |
See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always pursue what is good both for one another and for all. |
| 1 Thes. 5:16 |
Always rejoice, |
| 1 Thes. 5:17 |
Unceasingly pray, |
| 1 Thes. 5:18 |
In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. |
| 1 Thes. 5:19 |
Do not quench the Spirit; |
| 1 Thes. 5:20 |
Do not despise prophecies, |
| 1 Thes. 5:21 |
But prove all things. Hold fast to what is good; |
| 1 Thes. 5:22 |
Abstain from every kind of evil. |
| 1 Thes. 5:23 |
And the God of peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 1 Thes. 5:24 |
Faithful is He who calls you, who also will do [it.] |
| 1 Thes. 5:25 |
Brothers, pray also for us. |
| 1 Thes. 5:26 |
Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss. |
| 1 Thes. 5:27 |
I adjure you by the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers. |
| 1 Thes. 5:28 |
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. |
