1 Thessalonians 5:1
|
But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that ye should be written to,
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:2
|
for ye know perfectly well yourselves, that the day of [the] Lord so comes as a thief by night.
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:3
|
When they may say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon her that is with child; and they shall in no wise escape.
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:4
|
But *ye*, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you as a thief:
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:5
|
for all *ye* are sons of light and sons of day; we are not of night nor of darkness.
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:6
|
So then do not let us sleep as the rest do, but let us watch and be sober;
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:7
|
for they that sleep sleep by night, and they that drink drink by night;
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:8
|
but *we* being of [the] day, let us be sober, putting on [the] breastplate of faith and love, and as helmet [the] hope of salvation;
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:9
|
because God has not set us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:10
|
who has died for us, that whether we may be watching or sleep, we may live together with him.
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:11
|
Wherefore encourage one another, and build up each one the other, even as also ye do.
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:12
|
But we beg you, brethren, to know those who labour among you, and take the lead among you in [the] Lord, and admonish you,
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:13
|
and to regard them exceedingly in love on account of their work. Be in peace among yourselves.
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:14
|
But we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the faint-hearted, sustain the weak, be patient towards all.
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:15
|
See that no one render to any evil for evil, but pursue always what is good towards one another and towards all;
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:16
|
rejoice always;
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:17
|
pray unceasingly;
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:18
|
in everything give thanks, for this is [the] will of God in Christ Jesus towards you;
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:19
|
quench not the Spirit;
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:20
|
do not lightly esteem prophecies;
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:21
|
but prove all things, hold fast the right;
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:22
|
hold aloof from every form of wickedness.
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:23
|
Now the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly: and your whole spirit, and soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:24
|
He [is] faithful who calls you, who will also perform [it].
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:25
|
Brethren, pray for us.
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:26
|
Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:27
|
I adjure you by the Lord that the letter be read to all the [holy] brethren.
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:28
|
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you.
