1 Thessalonians 5
5
1#Ac 1:7; 1Th 4:9Concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that I write to you. 2#2Pe 3:10; Rev 3:3For you know perfectly that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3#Lk 21:34–35; 2Th 1:9When they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction will come upon them as labor upon a woman with child, and they shall not escape.
4#1Jn 2:8But you, brothers, are not in darkness so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5#Lk 16:8; Ac 26:18You are all the sons of light and the sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. 6#Lk 22:46; 1Pe 1:13Therefore let us not sleep as others do. But let us be alert and sober. 7#Ac 2:15; 2Pe 2:13For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, are drunk at night. 8#Isa 59:17; 1Th 5:5But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation. 9#1Th 1:10; 2Th 2:13–14For God has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 10#2Co 5:15who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we should live together with Him. 11#Eph 4:29; Heb 10:25So comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, just as you are doing.
Final Exhortations and Greetings
12#Heb 13:17; 1Co 16:16; 16:18We ask you, brothers, to acknowledge those who labor among you, and are appointed over you in the Lord, and instruct you. 13#Mk 9:50Esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves. 14#Ro 14:1; Ac 20:35Now we exhort you, brothers, warn those who are unruly, comfort the faint-hearted, support the weak, and be patient toward everyone. 15#1Pe 3:9; Gal 6:10See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone. But always seek to do good to one another and to all.
16#Php 4:4Rejoice always. 17#Eph 6:18; Lk 18:1Pray without ceasing. 18#Eph 5:20; Heb 13:15In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19#Eph 4:30; 1Co 14:30; 1Ti 4:14Do not quench the Spirit. 20#1Co 11:4; 14:1Do not despise prophecies. 21#1Jn 4:1; Lk 12:57; Ac 17:11Examine all things. Firmly hold onto what is good. 22Abstain from all appearances of evil.
23#Ro 15:33; Heb 4:12May the very God of peace sanctify you completely. And I pray to God that your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24#1Co 1:9; 1Th 2:12 5:26 Ro 16:16 5:27 Col 4:16 5:28 Ro 16:20; 2Th 3:18Faithful is He who calls you, who also will do it.
25Brothers, pray for us. 26Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss. 27I 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.
