Paul's First Letter to the Thessalonians, Chapter 5
{5:1} But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have
no need that anything be written to you. {5:2} For you yourselves know
well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night. {5:3}
For when they are saying, "Peace and safety," then sudden destruction
will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman; and they will
in no way escape. {5:4} But you, brothers, aren't in darkness, that
the day should overtake you like a thief. {5:5} You are all children
of light, and children of the day. We don't belong to the night, nor
to darkness, {5:6} so then let's not sleep, as the rest do, but let's
watch and be sober. {5:7} For those who sleep, sleep in the night, and
those who are drunk are drunk in the night. {5:8} But let us, since we
belong to the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and
love, and, for a helmet, the hope of salvation. {5:9} For God didn't
appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through 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 exhort one
another, and build each other up, even as you also do. {5:12} But we
beg you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you
in the Lord, and admonish you, {5:13} and to respect and honor them in
love for their work's sake.
Be at peace among yourselves. {5:14} We exhort you, brothers,
admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak,
be patient toward all. {5:15} See that no one returns evil for evil to
anyone, but always follow after that which is good, for one another,
and for all.
{5:16} Rejoice always. {5:17} Pray without ceasing. {5:18} In
everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus
toward you. {5:19} Don't quench the Spirit. {5:20} Don't despise
prophesies. {5:21} Test all things, and hold firmly that which is
good. {5:22} Abstain from every form of evil.
{5:23} May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May
your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
{5:24} He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it. {5:25}
Brothers, pray for us. {5:26} Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
{5:27} I solemnly command you by the Lord that this letter be read to
all the holy brothers.
{5:28} The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
