1 Thessalonians Chapter 5 (KJV)
undefined
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
undefined
For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
undefined
For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
undefined
But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
undefined
Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
undefined
Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
undefined
For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
undefined
But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
undefined
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
undefined
Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
undefined
Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
undefined
And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
undefined
And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
undefined
Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
undefined
See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
undefined
Rejoice evermore.
undefined
Pray without ceasing.
undefined
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
undefined
Quench not the Spirit.
undefined
Despise not prophesyings.
undefined
Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
undefined
Abstain from all appearance of evil.
undefined
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
undefined
Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
undefined
Brethren, pray for us.
undefined
Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.
undefined
I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
undefined
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
