1 Thessalonians 5:2-28

2For you yourselves know full well that 1the day of the Lord 2will come 3just like a thief in the night. 3While they are saying, “4Peace and safety!” then 56destruction 7will come upon them suddenly like 8labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape. 4But you, brethren, are not in 9darkness, that the day would overtake you 1011like a thief; 5for you are all 12sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of 13darkness; 6so then let us not 14sleep as 1516others do, but let us be alert and 1718sober. 7For those who sleep do their sleeping at night, and those who get drunk get 19drunk at night. 8But since 20we are of the day, let us 21be 22sober, having put on the 23breastplate of 24faith and love, and as a 25helmet, the 26hope of salvation. 9For God has not destined us for 27wrath, but for 28obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 1029who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him. 11Therefore 30encourage one another and 31build up one another, just as you also are doing.

12But we request of you, brethren, that you 3233appreciate those 34who diligently labor among you, and 35have charge over you in the Lord and give you 36instruction, 13and that you esteem them very highly in love because of their work. 37Live in peace with one another. 14We urge you, brethren, admonish 38the 39unruly, encourage 40the fainthearted, help 41the weak, be 42patient with everyone. 15See that 43no one repays another with evil for evil, but always 44seek after that which is good for one another and for all people. 1645Rejoice always; 1746pray without ceasing; 18in everything 47give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 1948Do not quench the Spirit; 20do not despise 49prophetic 50utterances. 21But 51examine everything carefully; 52hold fast to that which is good; 22abstain from every 53form of evil.

23Now 54may the God of peace 55Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your 56spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, 57without blame at 58the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2459Faithful is He who 60calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.

25Brethren, 61pray for us62.

2663Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss. 27I adjure you by the Lord to 64have this letter read to all the 65brethren.

2866The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
