1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that aught be written unto you. ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:1
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:2
3 When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape. ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:3
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief: ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:4
5 for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness; ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:5
6 so then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober. ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:6
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:7
8 But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation. ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:8
9 For God appointed us not unto wrath, but unto the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:9
10 who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:10
11 Wherefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as also ye do. ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:11
12 But we beseech you, brethren, to know them that labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:12
13 and to esteem them exceeding highly in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves. ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:13
14 And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be longsuffering toward all. ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:14
15 See that none render unto any one evil for evil; but alway follow after that which is good, one toward another, and toward all. ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:15
16 Rejoice alway; ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:16
17 pray without ceasing; ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:17
18 in everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you-ward. ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:18
19 Quench not the Spirit; ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:19
20 despise not prophesyings; ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:20
21 prove all things; hold fast that which is good; ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:21
22 abstain from every form of evil. ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:22
23 And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:23
24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who will also do it. ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:24
25 Brethren, pray for us. ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:25
26 Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss. ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:26
27 I adjure you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the brethren. ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:27
28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. ERV — 1Thessalonians 5:28
