1 Thessalonians 5:2-28

2For you yourselvesG846 knowG3609 fullG199 wellG199 that 1the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 2will comeG2064 3justG5613 likeG5613 a thiefG2812 in the nightG3571. 3WhileG3752 they are sayingG3004, “4PeaceG1515 and safetyG803!” thenG5119 56destructionG3639 7will comeG2186 upon them suddenlyG160 likeG5618 8laborG5604 painsG5604 upon a woman with childG1722G1064, and they will not escapeG1628. 4But you, brethrenG80, are not in 9darknessG4655, that the dayG2250 would overtakeG2638 you 1011likeG5613 a thiefG2812; 5for you are allG3956 12sonsG5207 of lightG5457 and sonsG5207 of dayG2250. We are not of nightG3571 norG3761 of 13darknessG4655; 6soG686 thenG686 let us not 14sleepG2518 as 1516othersG3062 do, but let us be alertG1127 and 1718soberG3525. 7For thoseG3588 who sleepG2518 doG2518 their sleepingG2518 at nightG3571, and thoseG3588 who getG3182 drunkG3182 getG3184 19drunkG3184 at nightG3571. 8But since 20we are of the dayG2250, let us 21be 22soberG3525, having putG1746 on the 23breastplateG2382 of 24faithG4102 and loveG26, and as a 25helmetG4030, the 26hopeG1680 of salvationG4991. 9For GodG2316 has not destinedG5087 us for 27wrathG3709, but for 28obtainingG4047 salvationG4991 throughG1223 our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 1029who diedG599 for us, soG2443 that whetherG1535 we are awakeG1127 orG1535 asleepG2518, we will liveG2198 togetherG260 with Him. 11ThereforeG1352 30encourageG3870 oneG240 anotherG240 and 31buildG3618 up oneG1520 anotherG1520, justG2531 as you alsoG2532 are doingG4160.

12But we requestG2065 of you, brethrenG80, that you 3233appreciateG3609 thoseG3588 34who diligentlyG2872 laborG2872 amongG1722 you, and 35haveG4291 chargeG4291 overG4291 you in the LordG2962 and giveG3560 you 36instructionG3560, 13and that you esteemG2233 them veryG5239 highlyG5239 in loveG26 becauseG1223 of their workG2041. 37LiveG1514 in peaceG1514 with oneG1438 anotherG1438. 14We urgeG3870 you, brethrenG80, admonishG3560 38the 39unrulyG813, encourageG3888 40the faintheartedG3642, helpG472 41the weakG772, be 42patientG3114 with everyoneG3956. 15SeeG3708 that 43noG3361 oneG5100 repaysG591 anotherG5100 with evilG2556 for evilG2556, but alwaysG3842 44seekG1377 afterG1377 that whichG18 is goodG18 for oneG240 anotherG240 and for allG3956 peopleG3956. 1645RejoiceG5463 alwaysG3842; 1746prayG4336 withoutG89 ceasingG89; 18in everythingG3956 47giveG2168 thanksG2168; for thisG3778 is God’sG2316 willG2307 for you in ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 1948Do not quenchG4570 the SpiritG4151; 20do not despiseG1848 49propheticG4394 50utterancesG4394. 21But 51examineG1381 everythingG3956 carefully; 52holdG2722 fastG2722 to that whichG2570 is goodG2570; 22abstainG568 from everyG3956 53formG1491 of evilG4190.

23NowG1161 54may the GodG2316 of peaceG1515 55HimselfG846 sanctifyG37 you entirelyG3651; and may your 56spiritG4151 and soulG5590 and bodyG4983 be preservedG5083 completeG3648, 57withoutG274 blameG274 at 58the comingG3952 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 2459FaithfulG4103 is He who 60callsG2564 you, and He alsoG2532 will bringG4160 it to passG4160.

25BrethrenG80, 61prayG4336 for us62.

2663GreetG782 allG3956 the brethrenG80 with a holyG40 kissG5370. 27I adjureG1775 you by the LordG2962 to 64have thisG3588 letterG1992 readG314 to allG3956 the 65brethrenG80.

2866The graceG5485 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 be with you.
