1But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that ye should be written to,
1But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2for ye know perfectly well yourselves, that the day of [the] Lord so comes as a thief by night.
2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3When 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.
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 the day should overtake you as a thief:
4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5for all ye are sons of light and sons of day; we are not of night nor of darkness.
5Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6So then do not let us sleep as the rest do, but let us watch and be sober;
6Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7for they that sleep sleep by night, and they that drink drink by night;
7For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8but we being of [the] day, let us be sober, putting on [the] breastplate of faith and love, and as helmet [the] hope of salvation;
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.
9becauseGod has not set us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
9For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10who has died for us, that whether we may be watching or sleep, we may live together with him.
10Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11Wherefore encourage one another, and build up each one the other, even as also ye do.
11Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
12But we beg you, brethren, to know those who labour among you, and take the lead among you in [the] Lord, and admonish you,
12And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
13and to regard them exceedingly in love on account of their work. Be in peace among yourselves.
13And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
14But we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the faint-hearted, sustain the weak, be patient towards all.
14Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
15See that no one render to any evil for evil, but pursue always what is good towards one another and towards all;
15See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
18in everything give thanks, for this is [the] will ofGod in Christ Jesus towards you;
18In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
23Now theGod 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.
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.
24He [is] faithful who calls you, who will also perform [it].
24Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
