1 Thessalonians 5:2-28

2For you yourselvesG846 knowG3609 fullG199 wellG199 that 1the dayG2250 of the LordG2962 is comingG2064 2justG5613 likeG5613 a thiefG2812 in the nightG3571. 3WhileG3752 they are sayingG3004, “3PeaceG1515 and safetyG803!” thenG5119 4suddenG160 destructionG3639 5will comeG2186 uponG2186 them likeG5618 6laborG5604 painsG5604 upon a pregnantG1722G1064 woman, and they will not escapeG1628. 4But you, brothersG80 and sisters, are not in 7darknessG4655, soG2443 thatG2443 the dayG2250 would overtakeG2638 you 89likeG5613 a thiefG2812; 5for you are allG3956 10sonsG5207 of lightG5457 and sonsG5207 of dayG2250. We are not of nightG3571 norG3761 of 11darknessG4655; 6soG686 thenG3767, let’s not 12sleepG2518 as 1314othersG3062 do, but let’s be alertG1127 and 1516soberG3525. 7For thoseG3588 who sleepG2518, sleepG2518 at nightG3571, and thoseG3588 who areG3182 drunkG3182, 17getG3184 drunkG3184 at nightG3571. 8But since 18we are of the dayG2250, let’s 19be 20soberG3525, having putG1746 on the 21breastplateG2382 of 22faithG4102 and loveG26, and as a 23helmetG4030, the 24hopeG1680 of salvationG4991. 9For GodG2316 has not destinedG5087 us for 25wrathG3709, but for 26obtainingG4047 salvationG4991 throughG1223 our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547, 1027who diedG599 for us, soG2443 thatG2443 whetherG1535 we are awakeG1127 orG1535 asleepG2518, we will liveG2198 togetherG260 with Him. 11ThereforeG1352, 28encourageG3870 oneG240 anotherG240 and 29buildG3618 oneG1520 anotherG1520 upG3618, justG2531 asG2531 you alsoG2532 are doingG4160.

12But we askG2065 you, brothersG80 and sisters, to 30recognizeG3609 thoseG3588 31who diligentlyG2872 laborG2872 amongG1722 you and 3233areG4291 inG4291 leadershipG4291 overG4291 you in the LordG2962, and giveG3560 you 34instructionG3560, 13and that you regardG2233 them veryG5239 highlyG5239 in loveG26 becauseG1223 of their workG2041. 35LiveG1514 inG1514 peaceG1514 with oneG1438 anotherG1438. 14We urgeG3870 you, brothersG80 and sisters, admonishG3560 36the 37unrulyG813, encourageG3888 38the faintheartedG3642, helpG472 39the weakG772, beG3114 40patientG3114 with everyoneG3956. 15SeeG3708 that 41noG3361 oneG5100 repaysG591 anotherG5100 with evilG2556 for evilG2556, but alwaysG3842 42seekG1377 whatG18 isG18 goodG18 for oneG240 anotherG240 and for allG3956 peopleG3956. 1643RejoiceG5463 alwaysG3842, 1744prayG4336 withoutG89 ceasingG89, 18in everythingG3956 45giveG2168 thanksG2168; for thisG3778 is the willG2307 of GodG2316 for you in ChristG5547 JesusG2424. 1946Do not quenchG4570 the SpiritG4151, 20do not utterlyG1848 rejectG1848 4748propheciesG4394, 21but 49examineG1381 everythingG3956; 50holdG2722 firmlyG2722 toG2722 that whichG3588 is goodG2570, 22abstainG568 from everyG3956 51formG1491 of evilG4190.

23NowG1161 52may the GodG2316 of peaceG1515 53HimselfG846 sanctifyG37 you entirelyG3651; and may your 54spiritG4151 and soulG5590 and bodyG4983 be keptG5083 completeG3648, 55withoutG274 blameG274 at 56the comingG3952 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547. 2457FaithfulG4103 is He who 58callsG2564 you, and He alsoG2532 will doG4160 it.

25BrothersG80 and sisters, 59prayG4336 for us60.

2661GreetG782 allG3956 the brothersG80 and sisters with a holyG40 kissG5370. 27I putG1775 you underG1775 oathG1775 byG1775 the LordG2962 to 62have thisG3588 letterG1992 readG314 to allG3956 the 63brothersG80 and sisters.

2864May the graceG5485 of our LordG2962 JesusG2424 ChristG5547 be with you.
