 |
| |
| | 1Th 5:1 | And concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need of my writing to you,
| |
| | 1Th 5:2 | for yourselves have known thoroughly that the day of the Lord as a thief in the night doth so come,
| |
| | 1Th 5:3 | for when they may say, Peace and surety, then sudden destruction doth stand by them, as the travail `doth' her who is with child, and they shall not escape;
| |
| | 1Th 5:4 | and ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day may catch you as a thief;
| |
| | 1Th 5:5 | all ye are sons of light, and sons of day; we are not of night, nor of darkness,
| |
| | 1Th 5:6 | so, then, we may not sleep as also the others, but watch and be sober,
| |
| | 1Th 5:7 | for those sleeping, by night do sleep, and those making themselves drunk, by night are drunken,
| |
| | 1Th 5:8 | and we, being of the day -- let us be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and an helmet -- a hope of salvation,
| |
| | 1Th 5:9 | because God did not appoint us to anger, but to the acquiring of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
| |
| | 1Th 5:10 | who did die for us, that whether we wake -- whether we sleep -- together with him we may live;
| |
| | 1Th 5:11 | wherefore, comfort ye one another, and build ye up, one the one, as also ye do.
| |
| | 1Th 5:12 | And we ask you, brethren, to know those labouring among you, and leading you in the Lord, and admonishing you,
| |
| | 1Th 5:13 | and to esteem them very abundantly in love, because of their work; be at peace among yourselves;
| |
| | 1Th 5:14 | and we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the infirm, be patient unto all;
| |
| | 1Th 5:15 | see no one evil for evil may render to any one, but always that which is good pursue ye, both to one another and to all;
| |
| | 1Th 5:16 | always rejoice ye;
| |
| | 1Th 5:17 | continually pray ye;
| |
| | 1Th 5:18 | in every thing give thanks, for this `is' the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you.
| |
| | 1Th 5:19 | The Spirit quench not;
| |
| | 1Th 5:20 | prophesyings despise not;
| |
| | 1Th 5:21 | all things prove; that which is good hold fast;
| |
| | 1Th 5:22 | from all appearance of evil abstain ye;
| |
| | 1Th 5:23 | and the God of the peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your whole spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved unblameably in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ;
| |
| | 1Th 5:24 | stedfast is He who is calling you, who also will do `it'.
| |
| | 1Th 5:25 | Brethren, pray for us;
| |
| | 1Th 5:26 | salute all the brethren in an holy kiss;
| |
| | 1Th 5:27 | I charge you `by' the Lord, that the letter be read to all the holy brethren;
| |
| | 1Th 5:28 | the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ `is' with you! Amen.
