1 Thessalonians 5

Versículo 1. Now about the times and seasons, brothers, we do not need to write to you.

Versículo 2. For you are fully aware that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

Versículo 3. While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

Versículo 4. But you, brothers, are not in the darkness so that this day should overtake you like a thief.

Versículo 5. For you are all sons of the light and sons of the day; we do not belong to the night or to the darkness.

Versículo 6. So then, let us not sleep as the others do, but let us remain awake and sober.

Versículo 7. For those who sleep, sleep at night; and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.

Versículo 8. But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and the helmet of our hope of salvation.

Versículo 9. For God has not appointed us to suffer wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Versículo 10. He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him.

Versículo 11. Therefore encourage and build one another up, just as you are already doing.

Versículo 12. But we ask you, brothers, to acknowledge those who work diligently among you, who preside over you in the Lord and give you instruction.

Versículo 13. In love, hold them in highest regard because of their work. Live in peace with one another.

Versículo 14. And we urge you, brothers, to admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, and be patient with everyone.

Versículo 15. Make sure that no one repays evil for evil. Always pursue what is good for one another and for all people.

Versículo 16. Rejoice at all times.

Versículo 17. Pray without ceasing.

Versículo 18. Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

Versículo 19. Do not extinguish the Spirit.

Versículo 20. Do not treat prophecies with contempt,

Versículo 21. but test all things. Hold fast to what is good.

Versículo 22. Abstain from every form of evil.

Versículo 23. Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your entire spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Versículo 24. The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it.

Versículo 25. Brothers, pray for us as well.

Versículo 26. Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.

Versículo 27. I charge you before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers.

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