Sha'ul�s First Letter to the Thessalonians, Chapter 5
{5:1} But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have
no need that anything be written to you. {5:2} For you yourselves know
well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night. {5:3}
For when they are saying, "Shalom and safety," then sudden destruction
will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman; and they will
in no way escape. {5:4} But you, brothers, aren't in darkness, that
the day should overtake you like a thief. {5:5} You are all sons of
light, and sons of the day. We don't belong to the night, nor to
darkness, {5:6} so then let's not sleep, as the rest do, but let us
watch and be sober. {5:7} For those who sleep, sleep in the night, and
those who are drunken are drunken in the night. {5:8} But let us,
since we belong to the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of
faith and love, and, for a helmet, the hope of salvation. {5:9} For
God didn't appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation
through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah, {5:10} who died for us, that,
whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. {5:11}
Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you
also do. {5:12} But we beg you, brothers, to know those who labor
among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you, {5:13} and
to respect and honor them in love for their work's sake.
Be at shalom among yourselves. {5:14} We exhort you, brothers,
admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak,
be patient toward all. {5:15} See that no one returns evil for evil to
anyone, but always follow after that which is good, towards one
another, and towards all. {5:16} Rejoice always. {5:17} Pray without
ceasing. {5:18} In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God
in Messiah Yeshua toward you. {5:19} Don't quench the Spirit. {5:20}
Don't despise prophesies. {5:21} Test all things, and hold firmly that
which is good. {5:22} Abstain from every form of evil.
{5:23} May the God of shalom himself sanctify you completely. May
your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming
of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
{5:24} Faithful is he who calls you, who will also do it. {5:25}
Brothers, pray for us. {5:26} Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
{5:27} I solemnly charge you by the Lord that this letter be read to
all the holy brothers.
{5:28} The grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with you. Amein.
