1 Thessalonians Chapter 5
1But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you. #timing#second-comming
2For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night. #atimefor#second-comming#endtimes
3For when they are saying, "Peace and safety," then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman; and they will in no way escape. #peace#destruction
4But you, brothers, aren't in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.
5You are all children of light, and children of the day. We don't belong to the night, nor to darkness, #childofgod#knowledge
6so then let's not sleep, as the rest do, but let's watch and be sober. #advice
7For those who sleep, sleep in the night, and those who are drunken are drunken in the night.
8But let us, since we belong to the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and, for a helmet, the hope of salvation. #giftsofthespirit#gift#hope#faith
9For God didn't appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, #god#salvation#jesus#howitreallyis
10who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. #death#resurrection
11Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.
12But we beg you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you,
13and to respect and honor them in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves. #peace#love
14We exhort you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient toward all. #works#advice
15See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good, for one another, and for all. #good#evil
16Rejoice always. #joy#command
17Pray without ceasing. #prayer#command
18In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you. #thankful#command
19Don't quench the Spirit. #holyspirit
20Don't despise prophesies. #prophecy
21Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good. #knowledge#wisdom
22Abstain from every form of evil. #evil#command
23May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. #second-comming#peace
24Faithful is he who calls you, who will also do it. #god#faithful
25Brothers, pray for us. #prayer
26Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
27I solemnly charge you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the holy brothers.
28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. #greetings#grace
