1 Thessalonians 5 :: New American Standard Bible 1995 (NASB95)

The Day of the Lord

1Th 5:1Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you.

1Th 5:2For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord [fn]will come just like a thief in the night.

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

1Th 5:4

1Th 5:4But you, brethren, are not in darkness, 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 us not sleep as [fn]others do, but let us be alert and [fn]sober.

1Th 5:7

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

1Th 5:8

1Th 5:8But since we are of the day, let us 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 up one another, just as you also are doing.

Christian Conduct

1Th 5:12

1Th 5:12But we request of you, brethren, that you [fn]appreciate those who diligently labor among you, and have charge over you in the Lord and give you [fn]instruction,

1Th 5:13

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

1Th 5:14

1Th 5:14We urge you, brethren, 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 after that which 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 God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

1Th 5:19

1Th 5:19Do not quench the Spirit;

1Th 5:20

1Th 5:20do not despise prophetic [fn]utterances.

1Th 5:21

1Th 5:21But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good;

1Th 5:22

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

1Th 5:23

1Th 5:23Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved 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 bring it to pass.

1Th 5:25

1Th 5:25Brethren, pray for us[fn].

1Th 5:26

1Th 5:26Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.

1Th 5:27

1Th 5:27I adjure you by the Lord to have this letter read to all the brethren.

1Th 5:28

1Th 5:28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
