But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.1 Thessalonians 5:1

For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.1 Thessalonians 5:2

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.1 Thessalonians 5:3

But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.1 Thessalonians 5:4

Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.1 Thessalonians 5:5

Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.1 Thessalonians 5:6

For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.1 Thessalonians 5:7

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.1 Thessalonians 5:8

For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,1 Thessalonians 5:9

Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.1 Thessalonians 5:10

Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.1 Thessalonians 5:11

And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;1 Thessalonians 5:12

And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.1 Thessalonians 5:13

Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.1 Thessalonians 5:14

See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.1 Thessalonians 5:15

Rejoice evermore.1 Thessalonians 5:16

Pray without ceasing.1 Thessalonians 5:17

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.1 Thessalonians 5:18

Quench not the Spirit.1 Thessalonians 5:19

Despise not prophesyings.1 Thessalonians 5:20

Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.1 Thessalonians 5:21

Abstain from all appearance of evil.1 Thessalonians 5:22

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.1 Thessalonians 5:23

Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.1 Thessalonians 5:24

Brethren, pray for us.1 Thessalonians 5:25

Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.1 Thessalonians 5:26

I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.1 Thessalonians 5:27

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.1 Thessalonians 5:28
