| 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. |
| 5:6 | Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. |
| 5:7 | For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. |
| 5:8 | But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. |
| 5:9 | For God hath 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 | Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. |
| 5:12 | And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish 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 them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. |
| 5:15 | See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. |
| 5:16 | Rejoice evermore. |
| 5:17 | Pray without ceasing. |
| 5:18 | In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. |
| 5:19 | Quench not the Spirit. |
| 5:20 | Despise not prophesyings. |
| 5:21 | Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. |
| 5:22 | Abstain from all appearance of evil. |
| 5:23 | And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 5:24 | Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. |
| 5:25 | Brethren, pray for us. |
| 5:26 | Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss. |
| 5:27 | I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren. |
| 5:28 | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. |
| 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, |
| 5:17 | pray without ceasing, |
| 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. |
| 5:22 | Abstain from every appearance of evil. |
| 5:23 | And may the God of peace sanctify you completely; and I ask God that your entire spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 5:24 | He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it. |
| 5:25 | Brethren, pray for us. |
| 5:26 | Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss. |
| 5:27 | I command you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the holy brethren. |
| 5:28 | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. |
