DRC, VulgClementine, KJV - I Thessalonians - 5

5:1  But of the times and moments, brethren, you need not, that we should write to you:

5:1  De temporibus autem, et momentis, fratres, non indigetis ut scribamus vobis.

5:1  But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

5:2  For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord shall so come as a thief in the night.

5:2  Ipsi enim diligenter scitis quia dies Domini, sicut fur in nocte, ita veniet :

5:2  For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

5:3  For when they shall say: Peace and security; then shall sudden destruction come upon them, as the pains upon her that is with child, and they shall not escape.

5:3  cum enim dixerint : Pax et securitas : tunc repentinus eis superveniet interitus, sicut dolor in utero habenti, et non effugient.

5:3  For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

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

5:4  Vos autem, fratres, non estis in tenebris, ut vos dies illa tamquam fur comprehendat :

5:4  But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

5:5  For all you are the children of light and children of the day: we are not of the night nor of darkness.

5:5  omnes enim vos filii lucis estis, et filii diei : non sumus noctis, neque tenebrarum.

5:5  Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

5:6  Therefore, let us not sleep, as others do: but let us watch, and be sober.

5:6  Igitur non dormiamus sicut et ceteri, sed vigilemus, et sobrii simus.

5:6  Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

5:7  For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that are drunk, are drunk in the night.

5:7  Qui enim dormiunt, nocte dormiunt : et qui ebrii sunt, nocte ebrii sunt.

5:7  For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

5:8  But let us, who are of the day, be sober, having on the breast plate of faith and charity and, for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

5:8  Nos autem, qui diei sumus, sobrii simus, induti loricam fidei et caritatis, et galeam spem salutis :

5:8  But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

5:9  For God hath not appointed us unto wrath: but unto the purchasing of salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

5:9  quoniam non posuit nos Deus in iram, sed in acquisitionem salutis per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum,

5:9  For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

5:10  Who died for us: that, whether we watch or sleep, we may live together with him.

5:10  qui mortuus est pro nobis : ut sive vigilemus, sive dormiamus, simul cum illo vivamus.

5:10  Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

5:11  For which cause comfort one another and edify one another, as you also do.

5:11  Propter quod consolamini invicem, et ædificate alterutrum, sicut et facitis.

5:11  Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

5:12  And we beseech you, brethren, to know them who labour among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you;

5:12  Rogamus autem vos, fratres, ut noveritis eos qui laborant inter vos, et præsunt vobis in Domino, et monent vos,

5:12  And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

5:13  That you esteem them more abundantly in charity, for their work's sake. Have peace with them.

5:13  ut habeatis illos abundantius in caritate propter opus illorum : pacem habete cum eis.

5:13  And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.

5:14  And we beseech you, brethren, rebuke the unquiet: comfort the feeble minded: support the weak: be patient towards all men.

5:14  Rogamus autem vos, fratres, corripite inquietos, consolamini pusillanimes, suscipite infirmos, patientes estote ad omnes.

5:14  Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

5:15  See that none render evil for evil to any man: but ever follow that which is good towards each other and towards all men.

5:15  Videte ne quis malum pro malo alicui reddat : sed semper quod bonum est sectamini in invicem, et in omnes.

5:15  See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

5:16  Always rejoice.

5:16  Semper gaudete.

5:16  Rejoice evermore.

5:17  Pray without ceasing.

5:18  In omnibus gratias agite : hæc est enim voluntas Dei in Christo Jesu in omnibus vobis.

5:22  From all appearance of evil refrain yourselves.

5:22  Ab omni specie mala abstinete vos.

5:23  And may the God of peace himself sanctify you in all things: that your whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved blameless in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

5:23  Ipse autem Deus pacis sanctificet vos per omnia : ut integer spiritus vester, et anima, et corpus sine querela in adventu Domini nostri Jesu Christi servetur.

5:23  And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

5:24  He is faithful who hath called you, who also will do it.

5:24  Fidelis est, qui vocavit vos : qui etiam faciet.

5:24  Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
