1 Tesalonicenses 5

Young's Literal Translation

1And concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need of my writing to you,

2for yourselves have known thoroughly that the day of the Lord as a thief in the night doth so come,

3for when they may say, Peace and surety, then sudden destruction doth stand by them, as the travail [doth] her who is with child, and they shall not escape;

4and ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day may catch you as a thief;

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

6so, then, we may not sleep as also the others, but watch and be sober,

7for those sleeping, by night do sleep, and those making themselves drunk, by night are drunken,

8and we, being of the day — let us be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and an helmet — a hope of salvation,

9because God did not appoint us to anger, but to the acquiring of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

10who did die for us, that whether we wake — whether we sleep — together with him we may live;

11wherefore, comfort ye one another, and build ye up, one the one, as also ye do.

12And we ask you, brethren, to know those labouring among you, and leading you in the Lord, and admonishing you,

13and to esteem them very abundantly in love, because of their work; be at peace among yourselves;

14and we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the infirm, be patient unto all;

15see no one evil for evil may render to any one, but always that which is good pursue ye, both to one another and to all;

16always rejoice ye;

17continually pray ye;

18in every thing give thanks, for this [is] the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you.

19The Spirit quench not;

20prophesyings despise not;

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

22from all appearance of evil abstain ye;

23and the God of the peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your whole spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved unblameably in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ;

24stedfast is He who is calling you, who also will do [it].

25Brethren, pray for us;

26salute all the brethren in an holy kiss;

27I charge you [by] the Lord, that the letter be read to all the holy brethren;

28the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you! Amen.

Reina-Valera 1909

1EMPERO acerca de los tiempos y de los momentos, no tenéis, hermanos, necesidad de que yo os escriba:

2Porque vosotros sabéis bien, que el día del Señor vendrá así como ladrón de noche,

3Que cuando dirán, Paz y seguridad, entonces vendrá sobre ellos destrucción de repente, como los dolores á la mujer preñada; y no escaparán.

4Mas vosotros, hermanos, no estáis en tinieblas, para que aquel día os sobrecoja como ladrón;

5Porque todos vosotros sois hijos de luz, é hijos del día; no somos de la noche, ni de las tinieblas.

6Por tanto, no durmamos como los demás; antes velemos y seamos sobrios.

7Porque los que duermen, de noche duermen; y los que están borrachos, de noche están borrachos.

8Mas nosotros, que somos del día, estemos sobrios, vestidos de cota de fe y de caridad, y la esperanza de salud por yelmo.

9Porque no nos ha puesto Dios para ira, sino para alcanzar salud por nuestro Señor Jesucristo;

10El cual murió por nosotros, para que ó que velemos, ó que durmamos, vivamos juntamente con él.

11Por lo cual, consolaos los unos á los otros, y edificaos los unos á los otros, así como lo hacéis.

12Y os rogamos, hermanos, que reconozcáis á los que trabajan entre vosotros, y os presiden en el Señor, y os amonestan:

13Y que los tengáis en mucha estima por amor de su obra. Tened paz los unos con los otros.

14También os rogamos, hermanos, que amonestéis á los que andan desordenadamente, que consoléis á los de poco ánimo, que soportéis á los flacos, que seáis sufridos para con todos.

15Mirad que ninguno dé á otro mal por mal; antes seguid lo bueno siempre los unos para con los otros, y para con todos.

16Estad siempre gozosos.

17Orad sin cesar.

18Dad gracias en todo; porque esta es la voluntad de Dios para con vosotros en Cristo Jesús.

19No apaguéis el Espíritu.

20No menospreciéis las profecías.

21Examinadlo todo; retened lo bueno.

22Apartaos de toda especie de mal.

23Y el Dios de paz os santifique en todo; para que vuestro espíritu y alma y cuerpo sea guardado entero sin reprensión para la venida de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.

24Fiel es el que os ha llamado; el cual también lo hará.

25Hermanos, orad por nosotros.

26Saludad á todos los hermanos en ósculo santo.

27Conjúroos por el Señor, que esta carta sea leída á todos los santos hermanos.

28La gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo sea con vosotros. Amén. La primera epístola á los Tesalonicenses fué escrita de Atenas.

King James Version

1But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

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

3For 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.

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

5Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

6Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

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

8But 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.

9For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

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

11Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

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

13And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.

14Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

15See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

16Rejoice evermore.

17Pray without ceasing.

18In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

19Quench not the Spirit.

20Despise not prophesyings.

21Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

22Abstain from all appearance of evil.

23And 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.

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

25Brethren, pray for us.

26Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.

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

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

World English Bible

1But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.

2For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.

3For when they are saying, “Peace and safety,” then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman. Then they will in no way escape.

4But you, brothers, aren’t in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.

5You are all children of light and children of the day. We don’t belong to the night, nor to darkness,

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

7For those who sleep, sleep in the night; and those who are drunk are drunk in the night.

8But since we belong to the day, let’s be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

9For God didn’t appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

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

11Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.

12But we beg you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,

13and to respect and honor them in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

14We exhort you, brothers: Admonish the disorderly; encourage the faint-hearted; support the weak; be patient toward all.

15See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good for one another and for all.

16Always rejoice.

17Pray without ceasing.

18In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.

19Don’t quench the Spirit.

20Don’t despise prophecies.

21Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good.

22Abstain from every form of evil.

23May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

24He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it.

25Brothers, pray for us.

26Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.

27I solemnly command you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the holy brothers.

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