King James Version
Now
about
the times and seasons, brothers
, we
do
not
need to
write to
you.
But
of
the times and the
seasons, brethren
, ye
have
no
need that
I
write unto
you.
For you
are
fully
aware
that the Day of the Lord will
come
like
a thief in the night.
For yourselves
know
perfectly
that the day of the Lord so
cometh
as
a thief in the night.
While
people
are
saying
, “
Peace and security,”
destruction will
come
upon them suddenly
, like
labor
pains
on
a pregnant
woman ,
and they will
not escape.
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.
But you
, brothers
, are not in the
darkness so
that this
day should overtake you like
a thief.
But ye
, brethren
, are not in darkness ,
that that
day should overtake you as
a thief.
For
you
are all sons
of
the light and sons
of the day ;
we do
not belong
to
the night or
to
the
darkness.
Ye
are all the children
of
light ,
and the
children
of the day :
we are
not of
the night ,
nor
of
darkness.
So
then,
let us not sleep as the
others
do ,
but let us remain
awake
and sober.
Therefore
let us not sleep ,
as do others;
but let us watch
and be
sober.
For those
who
sleep ,
sleep at
night; and those
who
get
drunk,
get
drunk
at
night.
For they
that
sleep sleep in
the
night; and they
that
be
drunken
are
drunken
in
the
night.
But since
we
belong
to
the day, let
us
be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love ,
and the
helmet of
our
hope of salvation.
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.
For God has
not appointed us to suffer
wrath, but to obtain salvation through
our Lord Jesus Christ .
For God hath
not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by
our Lord Jesus Christ ,
He
died for us so
that, whether we are
awake
or asleep
, we may
live together with Him.
Who
died for us ,
that, whether we wake
or sleep
, we should
live together with him.
Therefore
encourage
and build
one another up
, just
as you
are
already
doing
.
Wherefore
comfort
yourselves
together,
and edify
one another, even
as also
ye
do
.
But
we ask
you, brothers
, to acknowledge
those
who
work
diligently
among you, who
preside
over you in the Lord and give
you instruction.
And
we beseech
you, brethren
, to know
them
which
labour
among you, and
are
over you in the Lord ,
and admonish
you ;
In
love,
hold
them in highest
regard
because
of
their work
. Live
in
peace with
one
another
.
And
to
esteem
them very
highly
in love
for
their work's
sake
. And
be
at
peace among
yourselves
.
And
we urge
you, brothers
, to
admonish
the
unruly, encourage
the fainthearted
, help
the weak, and
be patient with
everyone
.
Now
we exhort
you, brethren
, warn
them
that
are
unruly, comfort
the feebleminded
, support
the weak, be patient toward
all
men
.
Make
sure
that no
one
repays
evil for evil .
Always
pursue
what
is good for
one
another
and for
all people
.
See
that none
render
evil for evil unto
any
man;
but
ever
follow
that
which
is good ,
both
among
yourselves,
and to
all men
.
Rejoice at
all
times
.
Rejoice evermore
.
Pray without ceasing.
Pray without ceasing.
Give
thanks
in every circumstance,
for this is God’s
will for
you
in Christ Jesus.
In every thing
give
thanks:
for this is the
will of
God
in Christ Jesus concerning
you
.
Do
not extinguish
the Spirit.
Quench
not the Spirit.
Do
not treat
prophecies
with
contempt,
Despise
not prophesyings.
but
test
all things .
Hold fast to
what
is good.
Prove
all things ;
hold fast that
which
is good.
Abstain from every
form
of evil.
Abstain from all
appearance
of evil.
Now
may
the God of peace Himself
sanctify you completely,
and may
your entire
spirit ,
soul ,
and body be kept
blameless at
the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
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.
The
One
who
calls
you
is
faithful ,
and
He will do it.
Faithful is
he that
calleth
you,
who
also
will do it.
Brothers
, pray for us as
well
.
Brethren
, pray for us.
Greet all the brothers
with a
holy kiss.
Greet all the brethren
with an
holy kiss.
I charge you before
the Lord to
have
this letter
read to
all the brothers
.
I charge you by
the Lord that
this epistle
be
read unto
all the holy
brethren
.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
