1 Thes. 5:1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need for anything to be written to you;
1 Thes. 5:2 For you yourselves know perfectly well that like a thief in the night, so the day of the Lord comes.
1 Thes. 5:3 When they say, Peace and security, then sudden destruction comes upon them, just as birth pangs to a woman with child; and they shall by no means escape.
1 Thes. 5:4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness that the day should overtake you like a thief;
1 Thes. 5:5 For you are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
1 Thes. 5:6 So then let us not sleep, as the rest do, but let us watch and be sober.
1 Thes. 5:7 For those who sleep, sleep during the night, and those who get drunk are drunk during the night;
1 Thes. 5:8 But since we are of the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love and a helmet, the hope of salvation.
1 Thes. 5:9 For God did not appoint us to wrath but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
1 Thes. 5:10 Who died for us in order that whether we watch or sleep, we may live together with Him.
1 Thes. 5:11 Therefore comfort one another, and build up each one the other, even as you also do.
1 Thes. 5:12 Furthermore we ask you, brothers, to acknowledge those who labor among you and take the lead among you in the Lord and admonish you,
1 Thes. 5:13 And to regard them most highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
1 Thes. 5:14 And we exhort you, brothers, Admonish the disorderly, console the fainthearted, sustain the weak, be long-suffering toward all.
1 Thes. 5:15 See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always pursue what is good both for one another and for all.
1 Thes. 5:17 Unceasingly pray,
1 Thes. 5:18 In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
1 Thes. 5:19 Do not quench the Spirit;
1 Thes. 5:20 Do not despise prophecies,
1 Thes. 5:21 But prove all things. Hold fast to what is good;
1 Thes. 5:22 Abstain from every kind of evil.
1 Thes. 5:23 And the God of peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thes. 5:24 Faithful is He who calls you, who also will do it.
1 Thes. 5:25 Brothers, pray also for us.
1 Thes. 5:26 Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
1 Thes. 5:27 I adjure you by the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers.
1 Thes. 5:28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
