Compare: 1 Thessalonians 5

WEB

But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.

WEB

For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.

WEB

For when they are saying, “Peace and safety,” then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman. Then they will in no way escape.

WEB

But you, brothers, aren’t in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.

WEB

You are all children of light and children of the day. We don’t belong to the night, nor to darkness,

WEB

so then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober.

WEB

For those who sleep, sleep in the night; and those who are drunk are drunk in the night.

WEB

But since we belong to the day, let’s be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

WEB

For God didn’t appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

WEB

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

WEB

Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.

WEB

But we beg you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,

WEB

and to respect and honor them in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

WEB

We exhort you, brothers: Admonish the disorderly; encourage the faint-hearted; support the weak; be patient toward all.

WEB

See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good for one another and for all.

WEB

Always rejoice.

WEB

Pray without ceasing.

WEB

In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.

WEB

Don’t quench the Spirit.

WEB

Don’t despise prophecies.

WEB

Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good.

WEB

Abstain from every form of evil.

WEB

May 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.

WEB

He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it.

WEB

Brothers, pray for us.

WEB

Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.

WEB

I solemnly command you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the holy brothers.

WEB

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