1 Thessalonians 5

1But concerningG4012 the timesG2540 and the seasonsG2540, brethren, ye have no needG5532 that ye should be writtenG1125 to, 2for ye know perfectly well yourselves, that the dayG2250 of [the] LordG2962 soG3779 comesG2064 as a thiefG2812 by nightG3571. 3WhenG3752 they may sayG3004, PeaceG1515 and safety, then sudden destructionG3639 comes upon them, as travail upon her that is with child; and they shall in no wise escapeG1628. 4But ye, brethren, areG1510 not in darknessG4655, that the dayG2250 should overtake you as a thiefG2812: 5for all ye areG1510 sonsG5207 of lightG5457 and sonsG5207 of dayG2250; we areG1510 not of nightG3571 nor of darknessG4655. 6So then do not let us sleepG2518 as the restG3062 do, but let us watchG1127 and be soberG3525; 7for they that sleepG2518 sleepG2518 by nightG3571, and they that drink drink by nightG3571; 8but we beingG1510 of [the] dayG2250, let us beG1510 soberG3525, putting on [the] breastplateG2382 of faithG4102 and loveG26, and as helmetG4030 [the] hopeG1680 of salvationG4991; 9because 1GodG2316 has not setG5087 us for wrathG3709, but for obtainingG4047 salvationG4991 through our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 10who has diedG599 for us, that whether we may be watchingG1127 or sleepG2518, we may liveG2198 togetherG260 with him. 11Wherefore encourageG3870 oneG1520 another, and buildG3618 up each oneG1520 the otherG240, evenG2532 as alsoG2532 ye do. 12But we begG2065 you, brethren, to know those who labour among you, and take the lead among you in [the] LordG2962, and admonishG3560 you, 13and to regard them exceedingly in loveG26 on accountG1223 of their workG2041. Be in peaceG1514 among yourselves. 14But we exhortG3870 you, brethren, admonishG3560 the disorderly, comfortG3870 the faint-hearted, sustain the weakG772, be patientG3114 towards all. 15SeeG3708 that no oneG240 renderG591 to any evilG2556 for evilG2556, but pursueG1377 alwaysG3842 what is goodG18 towards oneG240 another and towards all; 16rejoiceG5463 alwaysG3842; 17prayG4336 unceasinglyG89; 18in everythingG3956 giveG2168 thanksG2168, for this is [the] will of 2GodG2316 in ChristG5547 JesusG2424 towards you; 19quenchG4570 not the SpiritG4151; 20do not lightly esteem propheciesG4394; 21but prove all thingsG3956, holdG2722 fastG2722 the rightG2570; 22hold aloof from every formG1491 of wickedness. 23NowG1161 the 3GodG2316 of peaceG1515 himself sanctifyG37 you wholly: and your whole spiritG4151, and soulG5590, and bodyG4983 be preserved blameless at the coming of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 24He [is] faithfulG4103 who callsG2564 you, who will alsoG2532 performG4160 [it]. 25Brethren, prayG4336 for us. 26GreetG782 all the brethren with a holyG40 kissG5370. 27I adjureG3726 you by the LordG2962 that the letterG1992 be readG314 to all the [holy] brethren. 28The graceG5485 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 [be] with you.
