1Thessalonians:5
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ But as to the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need to have anything written to you.
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ When people say, "There is peace and security," then sudden destruction will come upon them as travail comes upon a woman with child, and there will be no escape.
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ But you are not in darkness, brethren, for that day to surprise you like a thief.
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ For you are all sons of light and sons of the day; we are not of the night or of darkness.
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:6 @ So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober.
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:7 @ For those who sleep sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ But, since we belong to the day, let us be sober, and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ who died for us so that whether we wake or sleep we might live with him.
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ But we beseech you, brethren, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:13 @ and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:14 @ And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the idlers, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all.
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all.
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:16 @ Rejoice always,
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:17 @ pray constantly,
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:18 @ give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:19 @ Do not quench the Spirit,
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:20 @ do not despise prophesying,
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:21 @ but test everything; hold fast what is good,
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:22 @ abstain from every form of evil.
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:23 @ May the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:24 @ He who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:25 @ Brethren, pray for us.
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:26 @ Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:27 @ I adjure you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the brethren.
rsv@1Thessalonians:5:28 @ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
