5:1  About the times and the seasons: Brothers, you do not need anything to be written to you.
5:2  For you yourselves know very well that the Day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.
5:3  When they say, "Peace and security," then sudden destruction comes on them, like labor pains come on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
5:4  But you, brothers, are not in the dark, for this day to overtake you like a thief.
5:5  For you are all sons of light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or the darkness.
5:6  So then, we must not sleep, like the rest, but we must stay awake and be serious.
5:7  For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.
5:8  But since we belong to the day, we must be serious and put the armor of faith and love on our chests, and put on a helmet of the hope of salvation.
5:9  For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
5:10  who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him.
5:11  Therefore encourage one another and build each other up as you are already doing.
5:12  Now we ask you, brothers, to give recognition to those who labor among you and lead you in the Lord and admonish you,
5:13  and to regard them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
5:14  And we exhort you, brothers: warn those who are irresponsible, comfort the discouraged, help the weak, be patient with everyone.
5:15  See to it that no one repays evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good for one another and for all.
5:16  Rejoice always!
5:17  Pray constantly.
5:18  Give thanks in everything, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.
5:19  Don't stifle the Spirit.
5:20  Don't despise prophecies,
5:21  but test all things. Hold on to what is good.
5:22  Stay away from every kind of evil.
5:23  Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely. And may your spirit, soul, and body be kept sound and blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
5:24  He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.
5:25  Brothers, pray for us also.
5:26  Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
5:27  I charge you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the brothers.
5:28  The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
