1 Thessalonians 5 : 1 (ESV)
Now concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need to have anything written to you.
1 Thessalonians 5 : 2 (ESV)
For you yourselves are fully aware that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
1 Thessalonians 5 : 3 (ESV)
While people are saying, "There is peace and security," then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
1 Thessalonians 5 : 4 (ESV)
But you are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief.
1 Thessalonians 5 : 5 (ESV)
For you are all children of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness.
1 Thessalonians 5 : 6 (ESV)
So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober.
1 Thessalonians 5 : 7 (ESV)
For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night.
1 Thessalonians 5 : 8 (ESV)
But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.
1 Thessalonians 5 : 9 (ESV)
For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
1 Thessalonians 5 : 10 (ESV)
who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him.
1 Thessalonians 5 : 11 (ESV)
Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
1 Thessalonians 5 : 12 (ESV)
We ask you, brothers, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,
1 Thessalonians 5 : 13 (ESV)
and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
1 Thessalonians 5 : 14 (ESV)
And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all.
1 Thessalonians 5 : 15 (ESV)
See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone.
1 Thessalonians 5 : 16 (ESV)
Rejoice always,
1 Thessalonians 5 : 17 (ESV)
pray without ceasing,
1 Thessalonians 5 : 18 (ESV)
give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
1 Thessalonians 5 : 19 (ESV)
Do not quench the Spirit.
1 Thessalonians 5 : 20 (ESV)
Do not despise prophecies,
1 Thessalonians 5 : 21 (ESV)
but test everything; hold fast what is good.
1 Thessalonians 5 : 22 (ESV)
Abstain from every form of evil.
1 Thessalonians 5 : 23 (ESV)
Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Thessalonians 5 : 24 (ESV)
He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it.
1 Thessalonians 5 : 25 (ESV)
Brothers, pray for us.
1 Thessalonians 5 : 26 (ESV)
Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
1 Thessalonians 5 : 27 (ESV)
I put you under oath before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers.
1 Thessalonians 5 : 28 (ESV)
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
