5:1  But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that ye should be written to,
5:2  for ye know perfectly well yourselves, that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief by night.
5:3  When they may say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon her that is with child; and they shall in no wise escape.
5:4  But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you as a thief:
5:5  for all ye are sons of light and sons of day; we are not of night nor of darkness.
5:6  So then do not let us sleep as the rest do, but let us watch and be sober;
5:7  for they that sleep sleep by night, and they that drink drink by night;
5:8  but we being of the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as helmet the hope of salvation;
5:9  because God has not set us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
5:10  who has died for us, that whether we may be watching or sleep, we may live together with him.
5:11  Wherefore encourage one another, and build up each one the other, even as also ye do.
5:12  But we beg you, brethren, to know those who labour among you, and take the lead among you in the Lord, and admonish you,
5:13  and to regard them exceedingly in love on account of their work. Be in peace among yourselves.
5:14  But we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the faint-hearted, sustain the weak, be patient towards all.
5:15  See that no one render to any evil for evil, but pursue always what is good towards one another and towards all;
5:16  rejoice always;
5:17  pray unceasingly;
5:18  in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus towards you;
5:19  quench not the Spirit;
5:20  do not lightly esteem prophecies;
5:21  but prove all things, hold fast the right;
5:22  hold aloof from every form of wickedness.
5:23  Now the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly: and your whole spirit, and soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
5:24  He is faithful who calls you, who will also perform it.
5:25  Brethren, pray for us.
5:26  Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.
5:27  I adjure you by the Lord that the letter be read to all the holy brethren.
5:28  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
