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