1 Thessalonians 5 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

The Day of the Lord

1Th 5:1

1Th 5:1

Now as to the periods and [fn]times, brothers and sisters, you have no need of anything to be written to you.

1Th 5:2

1Th 5:2For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord is coming just like a thief in the night.

1Th 5:3

1Th 5:3While they are saying, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction [fn]will come upon them like labor pains upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

1Th 5:4

1Th 5:4But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness, so that the day would overtake you [fn]like a thief;

1Th 5:5

1Th 5:5for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness;

1Th 5:6

1Th 5:6so then, let’s not sleep as [fn]others do, but let’s be alert and [fn]sober.

1Th 5:7

1Th 5:7For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who are drunk, get drunk at night.

1Th 5:8

1Th 5:8But since we are of the day, let’s be [fn]sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation.

1Th 5:9

1Th 5:9For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

1Th 5:10

1Th 5:10who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him.

1Th 5:11

1Th 5:11Therefore, [fn]encourage one another and build one another up, just as you also are doing.

Christian Conduct

1Th 5:12

1Th 5:12

But we ask you, brothers and sisters, to recognize those who diligently labor among you and [fn]are in leadership over you in the Lord, and give you [fn]instruction,

1Th 5:13

1Th 5:13and that you regard them very highly in love because of their work. Live in peace with one another.

1Th 5:14

1Th 5:14We urge you, brothers and sisters, admonish the [fn]unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone.

1Th 5:15

1Th 5:15See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek what is good for one another and for all people.

1Th 5:16

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 for you in Christ Jesus.

1Th 5:19

1Th 5:19Do not quench the Spirit,

1Th 5:20

1Th 5:20do not utterly reject [fn]prophecies,

1Th 5:21

1Th 5:21but examine everything; hold firmly to that which is good,

1Th 5:22

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

1Th 5:23

1Th 5:23

Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

1Th 5:24

1Th 5:24Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will do it.

1Th 5:25

1Th 5:25

Brothers and sisters, pray for us[fn].

1Th 5:26

1Th 5:26

Greet all the brothers and sisters with a holy kiss.

1Th 5:27

1Th 5:27I put you under oath by the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers and sisters.

1Th 5:28

1Th 5:28

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
