Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18
Wherefore comfort one another with these
words.
CHAPTER THESSALONIANS 5
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2
For yourselves
know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
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.
4
But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you
as a thief.
5
Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor
of darkness.
6
Therefore let us not sleep, as
do
others; 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, who are of
the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
9
For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10
Who
died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11
Wherefore comfort
yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
12
And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in
the Lord, and admonish you;
13
And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake.
And
be at peace among yourselves.
14
Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort
the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all
men.
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.
16
Rejoice
evermore.
17
Pray without ceasing.
18
In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ
Jesus concerning you.
19
Quench not the Spirit.
20
Despise not prophesyings.
21
Prove all things;
hold fast that which is good.
22
Abstain from all appearance of evil.
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.
24
Faithful
is
he that calleth you, who also will do
it.
25
Brethren, pray for us.
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.
The Second Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the
Thessalonians
