1 Thessalonians 5
Authorized King James Version (1769) with AI Commentary
1But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.🔗🔍
2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.🔗🔍
3For 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.🔗🔍
4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.🔗🔍
5Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.🔗🔍
6Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.🔗🔍
7For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.🔗🔍
8But 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.🔗🔍
9For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,🔗🔍
10Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.🔗🔍
11Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.🔗🔍
12And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;🔗🔍
13And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.🔗🔍
14Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.🔗🔍
15See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.🔗🔍
16Rejoice evermore.🔗🔍
17Pray without ceasing.🔗🔍
18In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.🔗🔍
19Quench not the Spirit.🔗🔍
20Despise not prophesyings.🔗🔍
21Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.🔗🔍
22Abstain from all appearance of evil.🔗🔍
23And 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.🔗🔍
24Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.🔗🔍
25Brethren, pray for us.🔗🔍
26Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.🔗🔍
27I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.🔗🔍
28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.🔗🔍
