1 Thessalonians - ch 5 v 1 - 20
- But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that aught be written unto you.
- For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
- 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.
- But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief:
- for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness;
- so then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober.
- For they that sleep sleep in the night: and they that are drunken are drunken in the night.
- 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.
- For God appointed us not into wrath, but unto the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
- who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
- Wherefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as also ye do.
- But we beseech you, brethren, to know them that labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
- and to esteem them exceeding highly in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves.
- And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be longsuffering toward all.
- See that none render unto any one evil for evil; but always follow after that which is good, one toward another, and toward all.
- Rejoice always;
- pray without ceasing;
- in everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you-ward.
- Quench not the Spirit;
- despise not prophesyings;
