1Th 5:1 But of the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that I write to you.

1Th 5:2 For you yourselves know accurately that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.

1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety! Then sudden destruction comes on them, as travail upon a woman with child. And they shall not escape.

1Th 5:4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness, that the Day should overtake you like a thief.

1Th 5:5 You are all the sons of light and the sons of the day. We are not of the night, or of darkness.

1Th 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep as the rest do, but let us watch and be calm.

1Th 5:7 For those sleeping sleep in the night, and those being drunken are drunken in the night.

1Th 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be calm, having put on the breastplate of faith and love and the hope of salvation for a helmet.

1Th 5:9 For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

1Th 5:10 who died for us, so that whether we watch or sleep we should live together with Him.

1Th 5:11 Therefore comfort one another, and edify one another, even as you also do.

1Th 5:12 And, brothers, we beseech you to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and who admonish you,

1Th 5:13 and to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

1Th 5:14 Now we exhort you, brothers, warn those who are unruly, comfort the faint-hearted, support the weak, be patient toward all.

1Th 5:15 See that none gives evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue the good, both towards one another and towards all.

1Th 5:16 Rejoice evermore.

1Th 5:17 Pray without ceasing.

1Th 5:18 In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

1Th 5:19 Do not quench the Spirit.

1Th 5:20 Do not despise prophesying.

1Th 5:21 Prove all things, hold fast to the good.

1Th 5:22 Abstain from every appearance of evil.

1Th 5:23 And may the God of peace Himself sanctify you, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blamelessly at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1Th 5:24 Faithful is He who called you, who also will do it.

1Th 5:25 Brothers, pray for us.

1Th 5:26 Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.

1Th 5:27 I charge you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the holy brothers.
