chapter_1_Thessalonians 5
1 Thessalonians 5:1: And concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need of my writing to you, 1 Thessalonians 5:2: for yourselves have known thoroughly that the day of the Lord as a thief in the night doth so come, 1 Thessalonians 5:3: 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; 1 Thessalonians 5:4: and ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day may catch you as a thief; 1 Thessalonians 5:5: all ye are sons of light, and sons of day; we are not of night, nor of darkness, 1 Thessalonians 5:6: so, then, we may not sleep as also the others, but watch and be sober, 1 Thessalonians 5:7: for those sleeping, by night do sleep, and those making themselves drunk, by night are drunken, 1 Thessalonians 5:8: and we, being of the day &#8212; let us be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and an helmet &#8212; a hope of salvation, 1 Thessalonians 5:9: because God did not appoint us to anger, but to the acquiring of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 1 Thessalonians 5:10: who did die for us, that whether we wake &#8212; whether we sleep &#8212; together with him we may live; 1 Thessalonians 5:11: wherefore, comfort ye one another, and build ye up, one the one, as also ye do. 1 Thessalonians 5:12: And we ask you, brethren, to know those labouring among you, and leading you in the Lord, and admonishing you, 1 Thessalonians 5:13: and to esteem them very abundantly in love, because of their work; be at peace among yourselves; 1 Thessalonians 5:14: and we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the infirm, be patient unto all; 1 Thessalonians 5:15: 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; 1 Thessalonians 5:16: always rejoice ye; 1 Thessalonians 5:17: continually pray ye; 1 Thessalonians 5:18: in every thing give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you. 1 Thessalonians 5:19: The Spirit quench not; 1 Thessalonians 5:20: prophesyings despise not; 1 Thessalonians 5:21: all things prove; that which is good hold fast; 1 Thessalonians 5:22: from all appearance of evil abstain ye; 1 Thessalonians 5:23: 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; 1 Thessalonians 5:24: stedfast is He who is calling you, who also will do it. 1 Thessalonians 5:25: Brethren, pray for us; 1 Thessalonians 5:26: salute all the brethren in an holy kiss; 1 Thessalonians 5:27: I charge you by the Lord, that the letter be read to all the holy brethren; 1 Thessalonians 5:28: the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you! Amen.
