ABP - I Thessalonians - 5

5:1  But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, [2no 3need 1You have 5to you 4to be written],

5:2  [3yourselves 1for 5exactly 2you 4know] that the day of the Lord [3as 4a thief 5in 6the night 1so 2comes].

5:3  For whenever they should say, Peace and safety, then sudden [2sets upon them 1ruin], as if the pangs to the one [2in 3the womb 1having one]; and in no way should they flee from it.

5:4  But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day [2you 3as 4a thief 1should overtake].

5:5  [3all 1You 4sons 5of light 2are], and sons of day; we are not of night nor of darkness.

5:6  So then we should not be sleeping as also the rest; but we should be vigilant and be sober.

5:7  For the ones sleeping, [2night 1sleep at]; and the ones being intoxicated, [2at night 1are intoxicated].

5:8  But we being of day should be sober, putting on the chest plate of belief and love, and helmet -- hope of deliverance.

5:9  For [4not 2set 3us 1God] for wrath, but for the procurement of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

5:10  the one having died for us; that whether we be vigilant, or whether we sleep, together with him we shall live.

5:11  Therefore comfort one another, and let [2build up 1one] the other one, as even you do!

5:12  And we appeal to you, brethren, to know the ones tiring in labor among you, and being set over you in the Lord, and admonishing you;

5:13  and to esteem them superabundantly in love on account of their work. Make peace among yourselves!

5:14  And we appeal to you, brethren, admonish the ones in disorder! Console the ones being faint-hearted! Hold to the weak! Be long-suffering to all!

5:15  See that not anyone [3hurt 4for 5hurt 2anyone 1should recompense]! but at all times [2good 1pursue] both towards one another and towards all!

5:16  At all times rejoice!

5:17  Continually pray!

5:18  In everything give thanks! for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

5:19  [3the 4spirit 1Do not 2extinguish]!

5:20  [3prophecies 1Do not 2treat] with contempt!

5:21  [2all things 1Prove]! [2the 3good 1Hold to]!

5:22  [2from 3every 4appearance 5of evil 1Be at a distance]!

5:23  And he, the God of peace, may he sanctify you perfectly complete; and may your entire spirit, and soul, and body, [2blamelessly 3in 4the 5arrival 6of our Lord 7Jesus 8Christ 1be kept].

5:24  [4is trustworthy 1The one 2calling 3you], who also will act.

5:25  Brethren, pray for us!

5:26  Greet [2the 3brethren 1all] with [2kiss 1a holy]!

5:27  I adjure you by the Lord, [3to be read 1for the 2letter] to all the holy brethren.

5:28  The favor of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
