nsb - 1Thessalonians:5

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ You have no need that I write to you about the times and dates, brothers.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ For you know perfectly that the »Day of Jehovah« will come like a thief in the night. (Zephaniah strkjv@1:14)

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ When they say, »Peace and security!« then sudden destruction will come upon them, as labor pains come to a pregnant woman. They will not escape.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ You do not live in the dark. That day should not overtake you by surprise as a thief would.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ You are all the children of light, and the children of the day. We are not of the night, not of darkness.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:6 @ Therefore, let us not sleep like others do. But let us watch and be sober.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:7 @ They that sleep do so in the night. They that get drunk are drunk in the night.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ Let us be sober and put on the breastplate of faith and love; and the hope of salvation as a helmet.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God has not appointed us to experience his wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ He died for us, that, whether we are awake in this life or sleep in death, we should live together with him.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ Comfort each other and strengthen one another as you are doing.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:12 @ We ask you, brothers, to appreciate those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:13 @ To esteem them very highly in love because of the work they do. And be at peace among yourselves.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:14 @ We ask you brothers to warn the unruly and comfort the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient with all men.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:15 @ See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone. But follow that which is good, both among you, and to all men.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:16 @ Rejoice always.

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

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:18 @ In everything give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:19 @ Do not quench the Spirit.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:20 @ Do not despise prophesying.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:21 @ Prove all things; hold fast to what is good.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:22 @ Abstain from all appearance of evil.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:23 @ May the very God of peace completely sanctify you. I pray to God that your entire spiritual being, your mind and body, is preserved blameless until the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:24 @ Faithful is he who calls you. He will also make it happen.

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:25 @ Brothers, pray for us.

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

nsb@1Thessalonians:5:27 @ I charge you by the Lord that this letter is to be read to all the brothers.

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