• 1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you do not have any need that I write to you.

• 2 Because, you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord comes as a thief in the night.

• 3 Because, when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, like labour pains upon a pregnant woman. And they will not escape.

• 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that this Day should overtake you like a thief.

• 5 You are all the children of light, and the children of the day, we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

• 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.

• 7 Because, those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who are drunk are drunk at night.

• 8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation.

• 9 Because, God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

• 10 who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.

• 11 Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.

• 12 And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and advise you,

• 13 and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.

• 14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are disorderly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient towards all people.

• 15 See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue that which is good both for yourselves, and for all men.

• 16 Rejoice always,

• 17 pray without ceasing,

• 18 in everything give thanks; because this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

• 19 Do not quench the Spirit.

• 20 Do not despise prophesies.

• 21 Test all things; hold firmly to what is good.

• 22 Abstain from every appearance of evil.

• 23 And may the God of peace sanctify you completely; and I ask God that your entire spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

• 24 He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.

• 25 Brethren, pray for us.

• 26 Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.

• 27 I command you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the holy brethren.

• 28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
