1 Thessalonians - ch 5 v 1 - 20
- But of the times and moments, brethren, you need not, that we should write to you;
- For yourselves know perfectly, that the day of the Lord shall so come, as a thief in the night.
- For when they shall say, peace and security; then shall sudden destruction come upon them, as the pains upon her that is with child, and they shall not escape.
- But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
- For all you are the children of light, and 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.
- For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that are drunk, are drunk in the night.
- But let us, who are of the day, be sober, having on the breastplate of faith and charity, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.
- For God hath not appointed us unto wrath, but unto the purchasing of salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
- Who died for us; that, whether we watch or sleep, we may live together with him.
- For which cause comfort one another; and edify one another, as you also do.
- And we beseech you, brethren, to know them who labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you:
- That you esteem them more abundantly in charity, for their work's sake. Have peace with them.
- And we beseech you, brethren, rebuke the unquiet, comfort the feeble minded, support the weak, be patient towards all men.
- See that none render evil for evil to any man; but ever follow that which is good towards each other, and towards all men.
- Always rejoice.
- Pray without ceasing.
- In all things give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you all.
- Extinguish not the spirit.
- Despise not prophecies.
- But prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
