[1] But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you. [2] For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night. [3] For when they are saying, “Peace and safety,” then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman. Then they will in no way escape. [4] But you, brothers, aren’t in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief. [5] You are all children of light and children of the day. We don’t belong to the night, nor to darkness, [6] so then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober. [7] For those who sleep, sleep in the night; and those who are drunk are drunk in the night. [8] But since we belong to the day, let’s be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation. [9] For God didn’t appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, [10] who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. [11] Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do. [12] But we beg you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, [13] and to respect and honor them in love for their work’s sake.Be at peace among yourselves. [14] We exhort you, brothers: Admonish the disorderly; encourage the faint-hearted; support the weak; be patient toward all. [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. [16] Always rejoice. [17] Pray without ceasing. [18] In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you. [19] Don’t quench the Spirit. [20] Don’t despise prophecies. [21] Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good. [22] Abstain from every form of evil. [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. [24] He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it. [25] Brothers, pray for us. [26] Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss. [27] I solemnly command you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the holy brothers. [28] The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
King James Version
[1] But G1161 of G4012 the G3588 times G5550 and G2532 the G3588 seasons, G2540 brethren, G80 ye have G2192 no G3756 need G5532 that I write G1125 unto you. G5213 [2] For G1063 yourselves G846 know G1492 perfectly G199 that G3754 the G3588 day G2250 of the Lord G2962 so G3779 cometh G2064 as G5613 a thief G2812 in G1722 the night. G3571 [3] For G1063 when G3752 they shall say, G3004 Peace G1515 and G2532 safety; G803 then G5119 sudden G160 destruction G3639 cometh upon G2186 them, G846 as G5618 travail G5604 upon a woman G3588 with child; G1722 G1064 G2192 and G2532 they shall G1628 not G3756 G3361 escape. G1628 [4] But G1161 ye, G5210 brethren, G80 are G2075 not G3756 in G1722 darkness, G4655 that G2443 that G3588 day G2250 should overtake G2638 you G5209 as G5613 a thief. G2812 [5] Ye G5210 are G2075 all G3956 the children G5207 of light, G5457 and G2532 the children G5207 of the day: G2250 we are G2070 not G3756 of the night, G3571 nor G3761 of darkness. G4655 [6] Therefore G686 G3767 let us G2518 not G3361 sleep, G2518 as G5613 do others; G3062 but G235 let us watch G1127 and G2532 be sober. G3525 [7] For G1063 they that G3588 sleep, G2518 sleep G2518 in the night; G3571 and G2532 they that G3588 be drunken G3182 are drunken G3184 in the night. G3571 [8] But G1161 let G3525 us, G2249 who are G5607 of the day, G2250 be sober, G3525 putting on G1746 the breastplate G2382 of faith G4102 and G2532 love; G26 and G2532 for an helmet, G4030 the hope G1680 of salvation. G4991 [9] For G3754 God G2316 hath G5087 not G3756 appointed G5087 us G2248 to G1519 wrath, G3709 but G235 to G1519 obtain G4047 salvation G4991 by G1223 our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547 [10] who G3588 died G599 for G5228 us, G2257 that, G2443 whether G1535 we wake G1127 or G1535 sleep, G2518 we should live G2198 together G260 with G4862 him. G846 [11] Wherefore G1352 comfort G3870§ yourselves together, G240 and G2532 edify G3618 one G1520 another, G1520 even as G2531 also G2532 ye do. G4160

Be at Peace

[12] And G1161 we beseech G2065 you, G5209 brethren, G80 to know G1492 them which G3588 labour G2872 among G1722 you, G5213 and G2532 are over G4291 you G5216 in G1722 the Lord, G2962 and G2532 admonish G3560 you; G5209 [13] and G2532 to esteem G2233 them G846 very highly G5228 G1537 G4053 in G1722 love G26 for G1223 their G846 work’s G2041 sake. G1223 And be at peace G1514 among G1722 yourselves. G1438 [14] Now G1161 we exhort G3870§ you, G5209 brethren, G80 warn G3560 them that G3588 are unruly, G813§ comfort G3888 the G3588 feebleminded, G3642 support G472 the G3588 weak, G772 be patient G3114 toward G4314 all G3956 men. [15] See G3708 that none G3361 G5100 render G591 evil G2556 for G473 evil G2556 unto any G5100 man; but G235 ever G3842 follow G1377 that which G3588 is good, G18 both G2532 among G1519 yourselves, G240 and G2532 to G1519 all G3956 men. [16] Rejoice G5463 evermore. G3842 [17] Pray G4336 without ceasing. G89 [18] In G1722 every thing G3956 give thanks: G2168 for G1063 this G5124 is the will G2307 of God G2316 in G1722 Christ G5547 Jesus G2424 concerning G1519 you. G5209 [19] Quench G4570 not G3361 the G3588 Spirit. G4151 [20] Despise G1848 not G3361 prophesyings. G4394 [21] Prove G1381 all things; G3956 hold fast G2722 that which G3588 is good. G2570 [22] Abstain G567 from G575 all G3956 appearance G1491 of evil. G4190 [23] And G1161 the G3588 very G846 God G2316 of peace G1515 sanctify G37 you G5209 wholly; G3651 and G2532 I pray God your G5216 whole G3648 spirit G4151 and G2532 soul G5590 and G2532 body G4983 be preserved G5083 blameless G274 unto G1722 the G3588 coming G3952 of our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ. G5547 [24] Faithful G4103 is he that G3588 calleth G2564 you, G5209 who G3739 also G2532 will do G4160 it. [25] Brethren, G80 pray G4336 for G4012 us. G2257 [26] Greet G782 all G3956 the G3588 brethren G80 with G1722 an holy G40 kiss. G5370 [27] I charge G3726§ you G5209 by the G3588 Lord G2962 that this G3588 epistle G1992 be read G314 unto all G3956 the G3588 holy G40 brethren. G80 [28] The G3588 grace G5485 of our G2257 Lord G2962 Jesus G2424 Christ G5547 be with G3326 you. G5216 Amen. G281
The first G4413 epistle unto G4314 the Thessalonians G2331 was written G1125 from G575 Athens. G116
