1 But|strong="G1161" of|strong="G4012" the times|strong="G5550" and|strong="G2532" the seasons|strong="G2540", brethren|strong="G0080", ye have|strong="G2192" no|strong="G3756" need|strong="G5532" that I write unto|strong="G1125" you|strong="G5213".
2 For|strong="G1063" yourselves|strong="G0846" know|strong="G1492" perfectly|strong="G0199" that|strong="G3754" the day|strong="G2250" of the Lord|strong="G2962" so|strong="G3779" cometh|strong="G2064" as|strong="G5613" a thief|strong="G2812" in|strong="G1722" the night|strong="G3571".
3 For|strong="G1063" when|strong="G3752" they shall say|strong="G3004", Peace|strong="G1515" and|strong="G2532" safety|strong="G0803"; then|strong="G5119" sudden|strong="G0160" destruction|strong="G3639" cometh|strong="G2186" upon them|strong="G0846", as|strong="G5618" travail|strong="G5604" upon|strong="G3588" a woman|strong="G2192" with|strong="G1722" child|strong="G1064"; and|strong="G2532" they shall|strong="G1628" not|strong="G3361" escape|strong="G1628".
4 But|strong="G1161" ye|strong="G5210", brethren|strong="G0080", are|strong="G2075" not|strong="G3756" in|strong="G1722" darkness|strong="G4655", that|strong="G2443" that day|strong="G2250" should overtake|strong="G2638" you|strong="G5209" as|strong="G5613" a thief|strong="G2812".
5 Ye|strong="G5210" are|strong="G2075" all|strong="G3956" the children|strong="G5207" of light|strong="G5457", and|strong="G2532" the children|strong="G5207" of the day|strong="G2250": we are|strong="G2070" not|strong="G3756" of the night|strong="G3571", nor|strong="G3761" of darkness|strong="G4655".
6 Therefore|strong="G3767" let us|strong="G2518" not|strong="G3361" sleep|strong="G2518", as|strong="G5613" do others|strong="G3062"; but|strong="G0235" let us watch|strong="G1127" and|strong="G2532" be sober|strong="G3525".
7 For|strong="G1063" they|strong="G2518" that sleep|strong="G2518" sleep|strong="G2518" in the night|strong="G3571"; and|strong="G2532" they|strong="G3184" that be drunken|strong="G3182" are drunken|strong="G3184" in the night|strong="G3571".
8 But|strong="G1161" let|strong="G3525" us|strong="G2249", who are|strong="G5607" of the day|strong="G2250", be sober|strong="G3525", putting on|strong="G1746" the breastplate|strong="G2382" of faith|strong="G4102" and|strong="G2532" love|strong="G0026"; and|strong="G2532" for an helmet|strong="G4030", the hope|strong="G1680" of salvation|strong="G4991".
9 For|strong="G3754" God|strong="G2316" hath|strong="G5087" not|strong="G3756" appointed|strong="G5087" us|strong="G2248" to|strong="G1519" wrath|strong="G3709", but|strong="G0235" to|strong="G1519" obtain|strong="G4047" salvation|strong="G4991" by|strong="G1223" our|strong="G2257" Lord|strong="G2962" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547",
10 Who died|strong="G0599" for|strong="G5228" us|strong="G2257", that|strong="G2443", whether|strong="G1535" we wake|strong="G1127" or|strong="G1535" sleep|strong="G2518", we should live|strong="G2198" together|strong="G0260" with|strong="G4862" him|strong="G0846".
11 Wherefore|strong="G1352" comfort|strong="G3870" yourselves together|strong="G0240", and|strong="G2532" edify|strong="G3618" one|strong="G1520" another|strong="G1520", even as|strong="G2531" also|strong="G2532" ye do|strong="G4160".
12 And|strong="G1161" we beseech|strong="G2065" you|strong="G5209", brethren|strong="G0080", to know|strong="G1492" them which labour|strong="G2872" among|strong="G1722" you|strong="G5213", and|strong="G2532" are over|strong="G4291" you|strong="G5216" in|strong="G1722" the Lord|strong="G2962", and|strong="G2532" admonish|strong="G3560" you|strong="G5209";
13 And|strong="G2532" to esteem|strong="G2233" them|strong="G0846" very|strong="G5228" highly|strong="G4057" in|strong="G1722" love|strong="G0026" for|strong="G1223" their|strong="G0846" work’s|strong="G2041" sake|strong="G1223". And be at peace|strong="G1514" among|strong="G1722" yourselves|strong="G1438".
14 Now|strong="G1161" we exhort|strong="G3870" you|strong="G5209", brethren|strong="G0080", warn|strong="G3560" them that are|strong="G3588" unruly|strong="G0813", comfort|strong="G3888" the feebleminded|strong="G3642", support|strong="G0472" the weak|strong="G0772", be patient|strong="G3114" toward|strong="G4314" all|strong="G3956" men.
15 See|strong="G3708" that none|strong="G3361" render|strong="G0591" evil|strong="G2556" for|strong="G0473" evil|strong="G2556" unto any|strong="G5100" man; but|strong="G0235" ever|strong="G3842" follow|strong="G1377" that which is good|strong="G0018", both|strong="G2532" among|strong="G1519" yourselves|strong="G0240", and|strong="G2532" to|strong="G1519" all|strong="G3956" men.
16 Rejoice|strong="G5463" evermore|strong="G3842".
17 Pray|strong="G4336" without ceasing|strong="G0089".
18 In|strong="G1722" every thing|strong="G3956" give thanks|strong="G2168": for|strong="G1063" this|strong="G5124" is the will|strong="G2307" of God|strong="G2316" in|strong="G1722" Christ|strong="G5547" Jesus|strong="G2424" concerning|strong="G1519" you|strong="G5209".
19 Quench|strong="G4570" not|strong="G3361" the Spirit|strong="G4151".
20 Despise|strong="G1848" not|strong="G3361" prophesyings|strong="G4394".
21 Prove|strong="G1381" all things|strong="G3956"; hold fast|strong="G2722" that which is good|strong="G2570".
22 Abstain|strong="G0567" from|strong="G0575" all|strong="G3956" appearance|strong="G1491" of evil|strong="G4190".
23 And|strong="G1161" the very|strong="G0846" God|strong="G2316" of peace|strong="G1515" sanctify|strong="G0037" you|strong="G5209" wholly|strong="G3651"; and|strong="G2532" I pray God your|strong="G5216" whole|strong="G3648" spirit|strong="G4151" and|strong="G2532" soul|strong="G5590" and|strong="G2532" body|strong="G4983" be preserved|strong="G5083" blameless|strong="G0274" unto|strong="G1722" the coming|strong="G3952" of our|strong="G2257" Lord|strong="G2962" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547".
24 Faithful|strong="G4103" is he that calleth|strong="G2564" you|strong="G5209", who|strong="G3739" also|strong="G2532" will do|strong="G4160" it.
25 Brethren|strong="G0080", pray|strong="G4336" for|strong="G4012" us|strong="G2257".
26 Greet|strong="G0782" all|strong="G3956" the brethren|strong="G0080" with|strong="G1722" an holy|strong="G0040" kiss|strong="G5370".
27 I charge|strong="G3726" you|strong="G5209" by the Lord|strong="G2962" that|strong="G0314" this|strong="G3588" epistle|strong="G1992" be read|strong="G0314" unto all|strong="G3956" the holy|strong="G0040" brethren|strong="G0080".
28 The grace|strong="G5485" of our|strong="G2257" Lord|strong="G2962" Jesus|strong="G2424" Christ|strong="G5547" be with|strong="G3326" you|strong="G5216". Amen|strong="G0281".
