1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you. NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:1
2 For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night. NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:2
3 Now when they are saying, "Peace and safety," then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman; and they will in no way escape. NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:3
4 But you, brothers, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief. NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:4
5 You are all sons of light, and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night, nor to darkness, NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:5
6 so then let us not sleep, as the rest do, but let us watch and be sober. NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:6
7 For those who sleep, sleep in the night, and those who are drunk are drunk in the night. NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:7
8 But let us, since we belong to the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and, for a helmet, the hope of salvation. NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:8
9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:9
10 who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:10
11 Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do. NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:11
12 But we ask you, brothers, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you, NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:12
13 and to respect and honor them in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves. NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:13
14 We exhort you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient toward all. NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:14
15 See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always seek what is good both for each other and for all. NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:15
16 Rejoice always. NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:16
17 Pray without ceasing. NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:17
18 In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you. NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:18
19 Do not quench the Spirit. NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:19
20 Do not treat prophecies with contempt, NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:20
21 but test all things; hold firmly that which is good. NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:21
22 Abstain from every form of evil. NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:22
23 May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:23
24 He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it. NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:24
25 Brothers, pray for us also. NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:25
26 Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss. NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:26
27 I solemnly command you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the holy brothers. NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:27
28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. NHEB — 1Thessalonians 5:28
