1 Thessalonians 5 :: American Standard Version (ASV)

The Day of the Lord

1Th 5:1But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that aught be written unto you.

1Th 5:2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

1Th 5:3When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape.

1Th 5:4

1Th 5:4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief:

1Th 5:5

1Th 5:5for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness;

1Th 5:6

1Th 5:6so then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober.

1Th 5:7

1Th 5:7For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that are drunken are drunken in the night.

1Th 5:8

1Th 5:8But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

1Th 5:9

1Th 5:9For God appointed us not unto wrath, but unto the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

1Th 5:10

1Th 5:10who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

1Th 5:11

1Th 5:11Wherefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as also ye do.

1Th 5:12

1Th 5:12But we beseech you, brethren, to know them that labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

1Th 5:13

1Th 5:13and to esteem them exceeding highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

1Th 5:14

1Th 5:14And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be longsuffering toward all.

1Th 5:15

1Th 5:15See that none render unto any one evil for evil; but always follow after that which is good, one toward another, and toward all.

1Th 5:16Rejoice always;

1Th 5:17

1Th 5:17pray without ceasing;

1Th 5:18

1Th 5:18in everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you-ward.

1Th 5:19

1Th 5:19Quench not the Spirit;

1Th 5:20

1Th 5:20despise not prophesyings;

1Th 5:21

1Th 5:21prove all things; hold fast that which is good;

1Th 5:22

1Th 5:22abstain from every form of evil.

1Th 5:23

1Th 5:23And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1Th 5:24
