YLT - I Thessalonians - 5

5:1  And concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need of my writing to you,

5:2  for yourselves have known thoroughly that the day of the Lord as a thief in the night doth so come,

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;

5:4  and ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day may catch you as a thief;

5:5  all ye are sons of light, and sons of day; we are not of night, nor of darkness,

5:6  so, then, we may not sleep as also the others, but watch and be sober,

5:7  for those sleeping, by night do sleep, and those making themselves drunk, by night are drunken,

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,

5:9  because God did not appoint us to anger, but to the acquiring of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

5:10  who did die for us, that whether we wake--whether we sleep--together with him we may live;

5:11  wherefore, comfort ye one another, and build ye up, one the one, as also ye do.

5:12  And we ask you, brethren, to know those labouring among you, and leading you in the Lord, and admonishing you,

5:13  and to esteem them very abundantly in love, because of their work; be at peace among yourselves;

5:14  and we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the infirm, be patient unto all;

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;

5:16  always rejoice ye;

5:17  continually pray ye;

5:18  in every thing give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you.

5:19  The Spirit quench not;

5:20  prophesyings despise not;

5:21  all things prove; that which is good hold fast;

5:22  from all appearance of evil abstain ye;

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;

5:24  stedfast is He who is calling you, who also will do it .

5:25  Brethren, pray for us;

5:26  salute all the brethren in an holy kiss;

5:27  I charge you by the Lord, that the letter be read to all the holy brethren;

5:28  the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ is with you! Amen.
