1 Thessalonians 5
5:1But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, You have no need to be written to you,
5:2for you yourselves know exactly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.
5:3For whenever they should say, Peace and safety, then sudden ruin sets upon them, as if the pangs to the one having one in the womb; and in no way should they flee from it.
5:4But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you as a thief.
5:5You are all sons of light, and sons of day; we are not of night nor of darkness.
5:6So then we should not be sleeping as also the rest; but we should be vigilant and be sober.
5:7For the ones sleeping, sleep at night; and the ones being intoxicated, are intoxicated at night.
5:8But we being of day should be sober, putting on the chest plate of belief and love, and helmet -- hope of deliverance.
5:9For God set us not for wrath, but for the procurement of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
5:10the one having died for us; that whether we be vigilant, or whether we sleep, together with him we shall live.
5:11Therefore comfort one another, and let one build up the other one, as even you do!
5:12And we appeal to you, brethren, to know the ones tiring in labor among you, and being set over you in the Lord, and admonishing you;
5:13and to esteem them superabundantly in love on account of their work. Make peace among yourselves!
5:14And we appeal to you, brethren, admonish the ones in disorder! Console the ones being faint-hearted! Hold to the weak! Be long-suffering to all!
5:15See that not anyone should recompense anyone hurt for hurt! but at all times pursue good both towards one another and towards all!
5:16At all times rejoice!
5:17Continually pray!
5:18In everything give thanks! for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
5:19Do not extinguish the spirit!
5:20Do not treat prophecies with contempt!
5:21Prove all things! Hold to the good!
5:22Be at a distance from every appearance of evil!
5:23And he, the God of peace, may he sanctify you perfectly complete; and may your entire spirit, and soul, and body, be kept blamelessly in the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ.
5:24The one calling you is trustworthy, who also will act.
5:25Brethren, pray for us!
5:26Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss!
5:27I adjure you by the Lord, for the letter to be read to all the holy brethren.
5:28The favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
