1 Thessalonians :   Chapter 5 
--------------------------------------
5:1   But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 

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

5:3   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. 

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

5:5   Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 

5:6   Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 

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

5:8   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. 

5:9   For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 

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

5:11   Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. 

5:12   And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; 

5:13   And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves. 

5:14   Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. 

5:15   See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. 

5:16   Rejoice evermore. 

5:17   Pray without ceasing. 

5:18   In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. 

5:19   Quench not the Spirit. 

5:20   Despise not prophesyings. 

5:21   Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 

5:22   Abstain from all appearance of evil. 

5:23   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. 

5:24   Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. 

5:25   Brethren, pray for us. 

5:26   Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss. 

5:27   I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren. 

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