| 5:1 | And concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need of my writing to you, |
| 5:2 | for yourselves have known thoroughly that the day of the Lord as a thief in the night doth so come, |
| 5:3 | for when they may say, Peace and surety, then sudden destruction doth stand by them, as the travail `doth' her who is with child, and they shall not escape; |
| 5:4 | and ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day may catch you as a thief; |
| 5:5 | all ye are sons of light, and sons of day; we are not of night, nor of darkness, |
| 5:6 | so, then, we may not sleep as also the others, but watch and be sober, |
| 5:7 | for those sleeping, by night do sleep, and those making themselves drunk, by night are drunken, |
| 5:8 | and we, being of the day -- let us be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and an helmet -- a hope of salvation, |
| 5:9 | because God did not appoint us to anger, but to the acquiring of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| 5:10 | who did die for us, that whether we wake -- whether we sleep -- together with him we may live; |
| 5:11 | wherefore, comfort ye one another, and build ye up, one the one, as also ye do. |
| 5:12 | And we ask you, brethren, to know those labouring among you, and leading you in the Lord, and admonishing you, |
| 5:13 | and to esteem them very abundantly in love, because of their work; be at peace among yourselves; |
| 5:14 | and we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the infirm, be patient unto all; |
| 5:15 | see no one evil for evil may render to any one, but always that which is good pursue ye, both to one another and to all; |
| 5:16 | always rejoice ye; |
| 5:17 | continually pray ye; |
| 5:18 | in every thing give thanks, for this `is' the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you. |
| 5:19 | The Spirit quench not; |
| 5:20 | prophesyings despise not; |
| 5:21 | all things prove; that which is good hold fast; |
| 5:22 | from all appearance of evil abstain ye; |
| 5:23 | and the God of the peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your whole spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved unblameably in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ; |
| 5:24 | stedfast is He who is calling you, who also will do `it'. |
| 5:25 | Brethren, pray for us; |
| 5:26 | salute all the brethren in an holy kiss; |
| 5:27 | I charge you `by' the Lord, that the letter be read to all the holy brethren; |
| 5:28 | the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ `is' with you! Amen. |
