But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you. |
2
|
For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night. |
3
|
For when they are saying, "Peace and safety," then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman; and they will in no way escape. |
4
|
But you , brothers, aren\'t in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief. |
5
|
You are all children of light, and children of the day. We don\'t belong to the night, nor to darkness, |
6
|
so then let\'s not sleep, as the rest do, but let\'s watch and be sober. |
7
|
For those who sleep, sleep in the night, and those who are drunken are drunken in the night. |
8
|
But let us, since we belong to the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and, for a helmet, the hope of salvation. |
9
|
For God didn\'t appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, |
10
|
who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. |
11
|
Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do. |
12
|
But we beg you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you, |
13
|
and to respect and honor them in love for their work\'s sake. Be at peace among yourselves. |
14
|
We exhort you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient toward all. |
15
|
See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good, for one another, and for all. |
18
|
In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you. |
19
|
Don\'t quench the Spirit. |
20
|
Don\'t despise prophesies. |
21
|
Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good. |
22
|
Abstain from every form of evil. |
23
|
May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
24
|
Faithful is he who calls you, who will also do it. |
25
|
Brothers, pray for us. |
26
|
Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss. |
27
|
I solemnly charge you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the holy brothers. |
28
|
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. |
