Compare: 1 Thessalonians 5

KJV

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

KJV

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

KJV

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.

KJV

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

KJV

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

KJV

Therefore let us not sleep, as [do] others; but let us watch and be sober.

KJV

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

KJV

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.

KJV

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

KJV

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

KJV

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

KJV

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

KJV

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

KJV

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

KJV

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

KJV

Rejoice evermore.

KJV

Pray without ceasing.

KJV

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

KJV

Quench not the Spirit.

KJV

Despise not prophesyings.

KJV

Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

KJV

Abstain from all appearance of evil.

KJV

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.

KJV

Faithful [is] he that calleth you, who also will do [it.]

KJV

Brethren, pray for us.

KJV

Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.

KJV

I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.

KJV

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. Amen.
