¹ But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that aught be written unto you.

² For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

³ When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape.

⁴ But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief:

⁵ for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness;

⁶ so then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober.

⁷ For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

⁸ But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

⁹ For God appointed us not unto wrath, but unto the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

¹⁰ who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

¹¹ Wherefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as also ye do.

¹² But we beseech you, brethren, to know them that labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

¹³ and to esteem them exceeding highly in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

¹⁴ And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be longsuffering toward all.

¹⁵ See that none render unto any one evil for evil; but alway follow after that which is good, one toward another, and toward all.

¹⁶ Rejoice alway;

¹⁷ pray without ceasing;

¹⁸ in everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you-ward.

¹⁹ Quench not the Spirit;

²⁰ despise not prophesyings;

²¹ prove all things; hold fast that which is good;

²² abstain from every form of evil.

²³ And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

²⁴ Faithful is he that calleth you, who will also do it.

²⁵ Brethren, pray for us.

²⁶ Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss.

²⁷ I adjure you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the brethren.

²⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
