  • 1 Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you.
  • 2 For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.
  • 3 While they are saying, "Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.
  • 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief;
  • 5 for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness;
  • 6 so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober.
  • 7 For those who sleep do their sleeping at night, and those who get drunk get drunk at night.
  • 8 But since we are of the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation.
  • 9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
  • 10 who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him.
  • 11 Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.
  • 12 But we request of you, brethren, that you appreciate those who diligently labor among you, and have charge over you in the Lord and give you instruction,
  • 13 and that you esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Live in peace with one another.
  • 14 We urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone.
  • 15 See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all people.
  • 16 Rejoice always;
  • 17 pray without ceasing;
  • 18 in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
  • 19 Do not quench the Spirit;
  • 20 do not despise prophetic utterances.
  • 21 But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good;
  • 22 abstain from every form of evil.
  • 23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • 24 Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass.
  • 25 Brethren, pray for us .
  • 26 Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.
  • 27 I adjure you by the Lord to have this letter read to all the brethren.
  • 28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
