mnt@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ Now as to the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ You yourselves know perfectly that the Day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ While men are saying "Peace and safety," then, like birth-pangs upon a woman with child, destruction will come upon them suddenly. In no wise will they escape.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ But you, brothers, are not in darkness, that "the Day" should come upon you like a bandit.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ For you are all sons of light, and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:6 @ So then let us not be sleeping as do the rest, but let us be watchful and self-controlled.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:7 @ For those who are sleeping, sleep in the night, and those who are drunken, are drunken in the night.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ But let us who are of the day be self-controlled, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to win salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ He died for us, in order that whether we are keeping vigil in life or sleeping in death we may ever be living together with him.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ So comfort one another, and try to build one another up, as indeed you are doing.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ I entreat you, brothers, to acknowledge those who are toiling among you and are your leaders in the Lord, and give you counsel.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:13 @ Esteem them very highly in love for their works sake. Live in peace among yourselves.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:14 @ And, brothers, we urge you to admonish the disorderly, comfort the faint-hearted, sustain the weak, lose patience with none.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ Take care that none of you ever return evil for evil, but always pursue what is kind to one another and to all.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:16 @ Always be joyful.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:17 @ Pray without ceasing.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:18 @ Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:19 @ Quench not the Spirit.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:20 @ Do not despise prophesyings.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:21 @ But try all, holding fast to the good.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:22 @ Hold aloof from every form of evil.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:23 @ May the God of peace consecrate you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept altogether faultless until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:24 @ He who calls you is faithful; he will fulfil my prayer.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:25 @ Brothers, pray for me.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:26 @ Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:27 @ I adjure you, in the name of the Lord, to have this letter read to all the brothers.

mnt@1Thessalonians:5:28 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
