I Thessalonians 5


Chapters:



1:   But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

2:   For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
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.
4:   But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5:   Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6:   Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

7:   For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
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.

9:   For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10:   Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

11:   Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

12:   And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
13:   And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
14:   Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
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.
16:   Rejoice evermore.
17:   Pray without ceasing.
18:   In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19:   Quench not the Spirit.
20:   Despise not prophesyings.
21:   Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
22:   Abstain from all appearance of evil.

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.
24:   Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
25:   Brethren, pray for us.

26:   Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.
27:   I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
28:   The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
