Verse
1 Thessalonians - ch 5 v 1 - 20
- But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.
- For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.
- For when they are saying, "Peace and safety," then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman; and they will in no way escape.
- But you, brothers, aren't in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.
- You are all children of light, and children of the day. We don't belong to the night, nor to darkness,
- so then let's not sleep, as the rest do, but let's watch and be sober.
- For those who sleep, sleep in the night, and those who are drunk are drunk in the night.
- But let us, since we belong to the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and, for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
- For God didn't appoint us to wrath, but to 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.
- Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.
- But we beg you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you,
- and to respect and honor them in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves.
- We exhort you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient toward all.
- See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good, for one another, and for all.
- Rejoice always.
- Pray without ceasing.
- In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.
- Don't quench the Spirit.
- Don't despise prophesies.
