| 5:1 | But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you do not have any need that I write to you. |
| 5:2 | Because, you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night. |
| 5:3 | Because, when they say, "Peace and safety!" then sudden destruction comes upon them, like labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they will not escape. |
| 5:4 | But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that this Day should overtake you like a thief. |
| 5:5 | You are all the children of light, and the children of the day, we are not of the night, nor of darkness. |
| 5:6 | Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. |
| 5:7 | Because, those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who are drunk are drunk at night. |
| 5:8 | But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation. |
| 5:9 | Because, God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| 5:10 | who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. |
| 5:11 | Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing. |
| 5:12 | And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and advise you, |
| 5:13 | and to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves. |
| 5:14 | Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are disorderly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient towards everyone. |
| 5:15 | See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue that which is good both for yourselves, and for everyone. |
| 5:16 | Rejoice always, |

| 5:18 | in everything give thanks; because this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. |
| 5:19 | Do not quench the Spirit. |
| 5:20 | Do not despise prophecies. |
| 5:21 | Test all things; hold firmly to that which is good. |

| 5:1 | But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. |
| 5:2 | For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. |
| 5:3 | For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. |
| 5:4 | But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. |
| 5:5 | Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. |

| 5:13 | And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves. |
| 5:14 | Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. |
