|---|---|---|
| 1 | But of the times and moments, brethren, you need not, that we should write to you; | Περὶ δὲ τῶν χρόνων καὶ τῶν καιρῶν, ἀδελφοί, οὐ χρείαν ἔχετε ὑμῖν γράφεσθαι· |
| 2 | For yourselves know perfectly, that the day of the Lord shall so come, as a thief in the night. | αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἀκριβῶς οἴδατε ὅτι ἡ ἡμέρα Κυρίου ὡς κλέπτης ἐν νυκτὶ οὕτως ἔρχεται. |
| 3 | For when they shall say, peace and security; then shall sudden destruction come upon them, as the pains upon her that is with child, and they shall not escape. | ὅταν γὰρ λέγωσιν, εἰρήνη καὶ ἀσφάλεια, τότε αἰφνίδιος αὐτοῖς ἐφίσταται ὄλεθρος, ὥσπερ ἡ ὠδὶν τῇ ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσῃ, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐκφύγωσιν. |
| 4 | But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. | ὑμεῖς δέ, ἀδελφοί, οὐκ ἐστὲ ἐν σκότει, ἵνα ἡ ἡμέρα ὑμᾶς ὡς κλέπτης καταλάβῃ· |
| 5 | For all you are the children of light, and children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. | πάντες ὑμεῖς υἱοὶ φωτός ἐστε καὶ υἱοὶ ἡμέρας. οὐκ ἐσμὲν νυκτὸς οὐδὲ σκότους. |
| 6 | Therefore, let us not sleep, as others do; but let us watch, and be sober. | Ἄρα οὖν μὴ καθεύδωμεν ὡς καὶ οἱ λοιποί, ἀλλὰ γρηγορῶμεν καὶ νήφωμεν. |
| 7 | For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that are drunk, are drunk in the night. | οἱ γὰρ καθεύδοντες νυκτὸς καθεύδουσι, καὶ οἱ μεθυσκόμενοι νυκτὸς μεθύουσιν· |
| 8 | But let us, who are of the day, be sober, having on the breastplate of faith and charity, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. | ὑμεῖς δὲ ἡμέρας ὄντες νήφωμεν, ἐνδυσάμενοι θώρακα πίστεως καὶ ἀγάπης καὶ περικεφαλαίαν ἐλπίδα σωτηρίας· |
| 9 | For God hath not appointed us unto wrath, but unto the purchasing of salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, | ὅτι οὐκ ἔθετο ἡμᾶς ὁ Θεὸς εἰς ὀργήν, ἀλλ᾽ εἰς περιποίησιν σωτηρίας διὰ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, |
| 10 | Who died for us; that, whether we watch or sleep, we may live together with him. | τοῦ ἀποθανόντος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν, ἵνα εἴτε γρηγορῶμεν εἴτε καθεύδωμεν ἅμα σὺν αὐτῷ ζήσωμεν. |
| 11 | For which cause comfort one another; and edify one another, as you also do. | Διὸ παρακαλεῖτε ἀλλήλους καὶ οἰκοδομεῖτε εἷς τὸν ἕνα, καθὼς καὶ ποιεῖτε. |
| 12 | And we beseech you, brethren, to know them who labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you: | Ἐρωτῶμεν δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, εἰδέναι τοὺς κοπιῶντας ἐν ὑμῖν καὶ προϊσταμένους ὑμῶν ἐν Κυρίῳ καὶ νουθετοῦντας ὑμᾶς, |
| 13 | That you esteem them more abundantly in charity, for their work’s sake. Have peace with them. | καὶ ἡγεῖσθαι αὐτοὺς ὑπερεκπερισσοῦ ἐν ἀγάπῃ διὰ τὸ ἔργον αὐτῶν. εἰρηνεύετε ἐν ἑαυτοῖς. |
| 14 | And we beseech you, brethren, rebuke the unquiet, comfort the feeble minded, support the weak, be patient towards all men. | Παρακαλοῦμεν δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, νουθετεῖτε τοὺς ἀτάκτους, παραμυθεῖσθε τοὺς ὀλιγοψύχους, ἀντέχεσθε τῶν ἀσθενῶν, μακροθυμεῖτε πρὸς πάντας. |
| 15 | See that none render evil for evil to any man; but ever follow that which is good towards each other, and towards all men. | ὁρᾶτε μή τις κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ τινι ἀποδῷ, ἀλλὰ πάντοτε τὸ ἀγαθὸν διώκετε καὶ εἰς ἀλλήλους καὶ εἰς πάντας. |
| 16 | Always rejoice. | Πάντοτε χαίρετε, |
| 17 | Pray without ceasing. | ἀδιαλείπτως προσεύχεσθε, |
| 18 | In all things give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you all. | ἐν παντὶ εὐχαριστεῖτε· τοῦτο γὰρ θέλημα Θεοῦ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ εἰς ὑμᾶς. |
| 19 | Extinguish not the spirit. | τὸ Πνεῦμα μὴ σβέννυτε, |
| 20 | Despise not prophecies. | προφητείας μὴ ἐξουθενεῖτε. |
| 21 | But prove all things; hold fast that which is good. | πάντα [δὲ] δοκιμάζετε, τὸ καλὸν κατέχετε· |
| 22 | From all appearance of evil refrain yourselves. | ἀπὸ παντὸς εἴδους πονηροῦ ἀπέχεσθε. |
| 23 | And may the God of peace himself sanctify you in all things; that your whole spirit, and soul, and body, may be preserved blameless in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. | Αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ Θεὸς τῆς εἰρήνης ἁγιάσαι ὑμᾶς ὁλοτελεῖς, καὶ ὁλόκληρον ὑμῶν τὸ πνεῦμα καὶ ἡ ψυχὴ καὶ τὸ σῶμα ἀμέμπτως ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τηρηθείη. |
| 24 | He is faithful who hath called you, who also will do it. | πιστὸς ὁ καλῶν ὑμᾶς, ὃς καὶ ποιήσει. |
| 25 | Brethren, pray for us. | Ἀδελφοί, προσεύχεσθε περὶ ἡμῶν. |
| 26 | Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss. | Ἀσπάσασθε τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς πάντας ἐν φιλήματι ἁγίῳ. |
| 27 | I charge you by the Lord, that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren. | Ὁρκίζω ὑμᾶς τὸν Κύριον ἀναγνωσθῆναι τὴν ἐπιστολὴν πᾶσι τοῖς ἁγίοις ἀδελφοῖς. |
| 28 | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. | Ἡ χάρις τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν· ἀμήν. |
