1 Thessalonians 5:1
|
|
But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren,
ye have no need that aught be written unto you. |
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:2
|
|
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of
the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. |
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:3
|
|
When they are saying, Peace and safety, then
sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they
shall in no wise escape. |
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:4
|
|
But
ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief:
|
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:5
|
|
for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the
day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness; |
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:6
|
|
so then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but
let us watch and be sober. |
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:7
|
|
For they that sleep sleep in the night: and
they that are drunken are drunken in the night. |
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:8
|
|
But let us, since we are of the day, be sober,
putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
|
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:9
|
|
For God appointed us not into wrath, but unto
the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, |
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:10
|
|
who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep,
we should live together with him. |
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:11
|
|
Wherefore exhort one another, and build each
other up, even as also ye do. |
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:12
|
|
But we beseech you, brethren, to know them that
labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; |
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:13
|
|
and to esteem them exceeding highly in love
for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves. |
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:14
|
|
And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly,
encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be longsuffering toward all. |
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:15
|
|
See that none render unto any one evil for evil;
but always follow after that which is good, one toward another, and toward all.
|
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:16
|
|
Rejoice always; |
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:17
|
|
pray without ceasing; |
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:18
|
|
in everything give thanks: for this is the will
of God in Christ Jesus to you-ward. |
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:19
|
|
Quench not the Spirit; |
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:20
|
|
despise not prophesyings; |
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:21
|
|
prove all things; hold fast that which is good;
|
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:22
|
|
abstain from every form of evil. |
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:23
|
|
And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly;
and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:24
|
|
Faithful is he that calleth you, who will also
do it. |
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:25
|
|
Brethren, pray for us. |
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:26
|
|
Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss. |
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:27
|
|
I adjure you by the Lord that this epistle be
read unto all the brethren. |
|
|
|
1 Thessalonians 5:28
|
|
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
