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. Images | |
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. Images | |
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. Images | |
18. In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. Images | |
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. Images | |
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. |
