1 Thessalonians 5

1. (1 Thess 5:1) But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2. (1 Thess 5:2) For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3. (1 Thess 5:3) 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.
4. (1 Thess 5:4) But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5. (1 Thess 5:5) Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6. (1 Thess 5:6) Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7. (1 Thess 5:7) For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8. (1 Thess 5:8) 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.
9. (1 Thess 5:9) For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10. (1 Thess 5:10) Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11. (1 Thess 5:11) Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
12. (1 Thess 5:12) And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
13. (1 Thess 5:13) And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
14. (1 Thess 5:14) Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
15. (1 Thess 5:15) See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
16. (1 Thess 5:16) Rejoice evermore.
17. (1 Thess 5:17) Pray without ceasing.
18. (1 Thess 5:18) In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19. (1 Thess 5:19) Quench not the Spirit.
20. (1 Thess 5:20) Despise not prophesyings.
21. (1 Thess 5:21) Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
22. (1 Thess 5:22) Abstain from all appearance of evil.
23. (1 Thess 5:23) 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.
24. (1 Thess 5:24) Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
25. (1 Thess 5:25) Brethren, pray for us.
26. (1 Thess 5:26) Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.
27. (1 Thess 5:27) I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
28. (1 Thess 5:28) The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
