New American Standard Bible 1995

The Day of the Lord

1NowG1161 as to the 1timesG5550 and the epochsG2540, brethrenG80, you 2haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 of anything to be writtenG1125 to you. 2For you yourselvesG846 knowG3609 fullG199 wellG199 that 3the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 4will comeG2064 5justG5613 likeG5613 a thiefG2812 in the nightG3571. 3WhileG3752 they are sayingG3004, “6PeaceG1515 and safetyG803!” thenG5119 78destructionG3639 9will comeG2186 upon them suddenlyG160 likeG5618 10laborG5604 painsG5604 upon a woman with childG1722G1064, and they will not escapeG1628. 4But you, brethrenG80, are not in 11darknessG4655, that the dayG2250 would overtakeG2638 you 1213likeG5613 a thiefG2812; 5for you are allG3956 14sonsG5207 of lightG5457 and sonsG5207 of dayG2250. We are not of nightG3571 norG3761 of 15darknessG4655; 6soG686 thenG686 let us not 16sleepG2518 as 1718othersG3062 do, but let us be alertG1127 and 1920soberG3525. 7For thoseG3588 who sleepG2518 doG2518 their sleepingG2518 at nightG3571, and thoseG3588 who getG3182 drunkG3182 getG3184 21drunkG3184 at nightG3571. 8But since 22we are of the dayG2250, let us 23be 24soberG3525, having putG1746 on the 25breastplateG2382 of 26faithG4102 and loveG26, and as a 27helmetG4030, the 28hopeG1680 of salvationG4991. 9For GodG2316 has not destinedG5087 us for 29wrathG3709, but for 30obtainingG4047 salvationG4991 throughG1223 our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 1031who diedG599 for us, soG2443 that whetherG1535 we are awakeG1127 orG1535 asleepG2518, we will liveG2198 togetherG260 with Him. 11ThereforeG1352 32encourageG3870 oneG240 anotherG240 and 33buildG3618 up oneG1520 anotherG1520, justG2531 as you alsoG2532 are doingG4160.

Christian Conduct

12But we requestG2065 of you, brethrenG80, that you 3435appreciateG3609 thoseG3588 36who diligentlyG2872 laborG2872 amongG1722 you, and 37haveG4291 chargeG4291 overG4291 you in the LordG2962 and giveG3560 you 38instructionG3560, 13and that you esteemG2233 them veryG5239 highlyG5239 in loveG26 becauseG1223 of their workG2041. 39LiveG1514 in peaceG1514 with oneG1438 anotherG1438. 14We urgeG3870 you, brethrenG80, admonishG3560 40the 41unrulyG813, encourageG3888 42the faintheartedG3642, helpG472 43the weakG772, be 44patientG3114 with everyoneG3956. 15SeeG3708 that 45noG3361 oneG5100 repaysG591 anotherG5100 with evilG2556 for evilG2556, but alwaysG3842 46seekG1377 afterG1377 that whichG18 is goodG18 for oneG240 anotherG240 and for allG3956 peopleG3956. 1647RejoiceG5463 alwaysG3842; 1748prayG4336 withoutG89 ceasingG89; 18in everythingG3956 49giveG2168 thanksG2168; for thisG3778 is God’sG2316 willG2307 for you in ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 1950Do not quenchG4570 the SpiritG4151; 20do not despiseG1848 51propheticG4394 52utterancesG4394. 21But 53examineG1381 everythingG3956 carefully; 54holdG2722 fastG2722 to that whichG2570 is goodG2570; 22abstainG568 from everyG3956 55formG1491 of evilG4190.

23NowG1161 56may the GodG2316 of peaceG1515 57HimselfG846 sanctifyG37 you entirelyG3651; and may your 58spiritG4151 and soulG5590 and bodyG4983 be preservedG5083 completeG3648, 59withoutG274 blameG274 at 60the comingG3952 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 2461FaithfulG4103 is He who 62callsG2564 you, and He alsoG2532 will bringG4160 it to passG4160.

25BrethrenG80, 63prayG4336 for us64.

2665GreetG782 allG3956 the brethrenG80 with a holyG40 kissG5370. 27I adjureG1775 you by the LordG2962 to 66have thisG3588 letterG1992 readG314 to allG3956 the 67brethrenG80.

2868The graceG5485 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 be with you.
