Chapter 5

1


 

  And concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need of my writing to you,  

 

 

-

2


 

  for yourselves have known thoroughly that the day of the Lord as a thief in the night doth so come,  

 

 

-

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;  

 

 

-

4


 

  and ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day may catch you as a thief;  

 

 

-

5


 

  all ye are sons of light, and sons of day; we are not of night, nor of darkness,  

 

 

-

6


 

  so, then, we may not sleep as also the others, but watch and be sober,  

 

 

-

7


 

  for those sleeping, by night do sleep, and those making themselves drunk, by night are drunken,  

 

 

-

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,  

 

 

-

9


 

  because God did not appoint us to anger, but to the acquiring of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,  

 

 

-

10


 

  who did die for us, that whether we wake -- whether we sleep -- together with him we may live;  

 

 

-

11


 

  wherefore, comfort ye one another, and build ye up, one the one, as also ye do.  

 

 

-

12


 

  And we ask you, brethren, to know those labouring among you, and leading you in the Lord, and admonishing you,  

 

 

-

13


 

  and to esteem them very abundantly in love, because of their work; be at peace among yourselves;  

 

 

-

14


 

  and we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the infirm, be patient unto all;  

 

 

-

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;  

 

 

-

16


 

  always rejoice ye;  

 

 

-

17


 

  continually pray ye;  

 

 

-

18


 

  in every thing give thanks, for this [is] the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you.  

 

 

-

19


 

  The Spirit quench not;  

 

 

-

20


 

  prophesyings despise not;  

 

 

-

21


 

  all things prove; that which is good hold fast;  

 

 

-

22


 

  from all appearance of evil abstain ye;  

 

 

-

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;  

 

 

-

24


 

  stedfast is He who is calling you, who also will do [it].  

 

 

-

25


 

  Brethren, pray for us;  

 

 

-

26


 

  salute all the brethren in an holy kiss;  

 

 

-

27


 

  I charge you [by] the Lord, that the letter be read to all the holy brethren;  

 

 

-

28


 

  the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you! Amen.

2nd Thessalonians 1
