|
| But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that aught be written unto you. | Περὶ δὲ τῶν χρόνων καὶ τῶν καιρῶν, ἀδελφοί, οὐ χρείαν ἔχετε ὑμῖν γράφεσθαι. |
|

|
| For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. | Αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἀκριβῶς οἴδατε ὅτι ἡ ἡμέρα κυρίου ὡς κλέπτης ἐν νυκτὶ οὕτως ἔρχεται· |
|

|

|
| For 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. | ὅταν γὰρ λέγωσιν, Εἰρήνη καὶ ἀσφάλεια, τότε αἰφνίδιος αὐτοῖς ἐφίσταται ὄλεθρος, ὥσπερ ἡ ὠδὶν τῇ ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσῃ, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐκφύγωσιν. |
|

|

|
| But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief: | Ὑμεῖς δέ, ἀδελφοί, οὐκ ἐστὲ ἐν σκότει, ἵνα ἡ ἡμέρα ὑμᾶς ὡς κλέπτης καταλάβῃ· |
|
5
|
5
|
| ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness; | πάντες ὑμεῖς υἱοὶ φωτός ἐστε καὶ υἱοὶ ἡμέρας· οὐκ ἐσμὲν νυκτὸς οὐδὲ σκότους· |
|

|

|
| so then let us not sleep, as do the rest also, but let us watch and be sober. | ἄρα οὖν μὴ καθεύδωμεν ὡς καὶ οἱ λοιποί, ἀλλὰ γρηγορῶμεν καὶ νήφωμεν. |
|
7
|
7
|
| For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that are drunken are drunken in the night. | Οἱ γὰρ καθεύδοντες νυκτὸς καθεύδουσιν· καὶ οἱ μεθυσκόμενοι, νυκτὸς μεθύουσιν. |
|
8
|
8
|
| 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. | Ἡμεῖς δέ, ἡμέρας ὄντες, νήφωμεν, ἐνδυσάμενοι θώρακα πίστεως καὶ ἀγάπης, καὶ περικεφαλαίαν, ἐλπίδα σωτηρίας. |
|

|
9
|
| For God appointed us not unto wrath, but unto the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, | Ὅτι οὐκ ἔθετο ἡμᾶς ὁ θεὸς εἰς ὀργήν, ἀλλ’ εἰς περιποίησιν σωτηρίας διὰ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ, |
|
10
|
10
|
| who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. | τοῦ ἀποθανόντος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν, ἵνα, εἴτε γρηγορῶμεν εἴτε καθεύδωμεν, ἅμα σὺν αὐτῷ ζήσωμεν. |
|
11
|
11
|
| Wherefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as also ye do. | Διὸ παρακαλεῖτε ἀλλήλους, καὶ οἰκοδομεῖτε εἷς τὸν ἕνα, καθὼς καὶ ποιεῖτε. |
|
12
|
12
|
| But we beseech you, brethren, to know them that labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; | Ἐρωτῶμεν δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, εἰδέναι τοὺς κοπιῶντας ἐν ὑμῖν, καὶ προϊσταμένους ὑμῶν ἐν κυρίῳ, καὶ νουθετοῦντας ὑμᾶς, |
|
13
|
13
|
| and to esteem them exceeding highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves. | καὶ ἡγεῖσθαι αὐτοὺς ὑπὲρ ἐκπερισσοῦ ἐν ἀγάπῃ διὰ τὸ ἔργον αὐτῶν. Εἰρηνεύετε ἐν ἑαυτοῖς. |
|
14
|
14
|
| And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be long-suffering toward all. | Παρακαλοῦμεν δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, νουθετεῖτε τοὺς ἀτάκτους, παραμυθεῖσθε τοὺς ὀλιγοψύχους, ἀντέχεσθε τῶν ἀσθενῶν, μακροθυμεῖτε πρὸς πάντας. |
|
15
|
15
|
| See that none render unto anyone evil for evil; but always follow after that which is good, both toward one another and toward all. | Ὁρᾶτε μή τις κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ τινὶ ἀποδῷ· ἀλλὰ πάντοτε τὸ ἀγαθὸν διώκετε καὶ εἰς ἀλλήλους καὶ εἰς πάντας. |
|
16
|
16
|
| Rejoice always; | Πάντοτε χαίρετε· |
|
17
|
17
|
| pray without ceasing; | ἀδιαλείπτως προσεύχεσθε· |
|
18
|
18
|
| in everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you-ward. | ἐν παντὶ εὐχαριστεῖτε· τοῦτο γὰρ θέλημα θεοῦ ἐν χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ εἰς ὑμᾶς. |
|
19
|
19
|
| Quench not the Spirit; | Τὸ πνεῦμα μὴ σβέννυτε· |
|
20
|
20
|
| despise not prophesyings; | προφητείας μὴ ἐξουθενεῖτε· |
|
21
|
21
|
| but prove all things; hold fast that which is good; | πάντα δὲ δοκιμάζετε· τὸ καλὸν κατέχετε· |
|
22
|
22
|
| abstain from every form of evil. | ἀπὸ παντὸς εἴδους πονηροῦ ἀπέχεσθε. |
|
23
|
23
|
| And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. | Αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ θεὸς τῆς εἰρήνης ἁγιάσαι ὑμᾶς ὁλοτελεῖς· καὶ ὁλόκληρον ὑμῶν τὸ πνεῦμα καὶ ἡ ψυχὴ καὶ τὸ σῶμα ἀμέμπτως ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ τηρηθείη. |
|
24
|
24
|
| Faithful is he that calleth you, who will also do it. | Πιστὸς ὁ καλῶν ὑμᾶς, ὃς καὶ ποιήσει. |
|
25
|
25
|
| Brethren, pray for us. | Ἀδελφοί, προσεύχεσθε περὶ ἡμῶν. |
|
26
|
26
|
| Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss. | Ἀσπάσασθε τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς πάντας ἐν φιλήματι ἁγίῳ. |
|
27
|
27
|
| I adjure you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren. | Ὁρκίζω ὑμᾶς τὸν κύριον, ἀναγνωσθῆναι τὴν ἐπιστολὴν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἁγίοις ἀδελφοῖς. |
|
28
|
28
|
| The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. | Ἡ χάρις τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ μεθ’ ὑμῶν. Ἀμήν. |
