Comparison
1 Thessalonians 5
Douay-Rheims and Vulgata Clementina, verse by verse.
| Douay-Rheims | Vulgata Clementina | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | But of the times and moments, brethren, you need not, that we should write to you; | De temporibus autem, et momentis, fratres, non indigetis ut scribamus vobis. |
| 2 | For yourselves know perfectly, that the day of the Lord shall so come, as a thief in the night. | Ipsi enim diligenter scitis quia dies Domini, sicut fur in nocte, ita veniet: |
| 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. | cum enim dixerint: Pax et securitas: tunc repentinus eis superveniet interitus, sicut dolor in utero habenti, et non effugient. |
| 4 | But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. | Vos autem, fratres, non estis in tenebris, ut vos dies illa tamquam fur comprehendat: |
| 5 | For all you are the children of light, and children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. | omnes enim vos filii lucis estis, et filii diei: non sumus noctis, neque tenebrarum. |
| 6 | Therefore, let us not sleep, as others do; but let us watch, and be sober. | Igitur non dormiamus sicut et ceteri, sed vigilemus, et sobrii simus. |
| 7 | For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that are drunk, are drunk in the night. | Qui enim dormiunt, nocte dormiunt: et qui ebrii sunt, nocte ebrii sunt. |
| 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. | Nos autem, qui diei sumus, sobrii simus, induti loricam fidei et caritatis, et galeam spem salutis: |
| 9 | For God hath not appointed us unto wrath, but unto the purchasing of salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, | quoniam non posuit nos Deus in iram, sed in acquisitionem salutis per Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum, |
| 10 | Who died for us; that, whether we watch or sleep, we may live together with him. | qui mortuus est pro nobis: ut sive vigilemus, sive dormiamus, simul cum illo vivamus. |
| 11 | For which cause comfort one another; and edify one another, as you also do. | Propter quod consolamini invicem, et aedificate alterutrum, sicut et facitis. |
| 12 | And we beseech you, brethren, to know them who labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you: | Rogamus autem vos, fratres, ut noveritis eos qui laborant inter vos, et praesunt vobis in Domino, et monent vos, |
| 13 | That you esteem them more abundantly in charity, for their work’s sake. Have peace with them. | ut habeatis illos abundantius in caritate propter opus illorum: pacem habete cum eis. |
| 14 | And we beseech you, brethren, rebuke the unquiet, comfort the feeble minded, support the weak, be patient towards all men. | Rogamus autem vos, fratres, corripite inquietos, consolamini pusillanimes, suscipite infirmos, patientes estote ad omnes. |
| 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. | Videte ne quis malum pro malo alicui reddat: sed semper quod bonum est sectamini in invicem, et in omnes. |
| 16 | Always rejoice. | Semper gaudete. |
| 17 | Pray without ceasing. | Sine intermissione orate. |
| 18 | In all things give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you all. | In omnibus gratias agite: haec est enim voluntas Dei in Christo Iesu in omnibus vobis. |
| 19 | Extinguish not the spirit. | Spiritum nolite extinguere. |
| 20 | Despise not prophecies. | Prophetias nolite spernere. |
| 21 | But prove all things; hold fast that which is good. | Omnia autem probate: quod bonum est tenete. |
| 22 | From all appearance of evil refrain yourselves. | Ab omni specie mala abstinete vos. |
| 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. | Ipse autem Deus pacis sanctificet vos per omnia: ut integer spiritus vester, et anima, et corpus sine querela in adventu Domini nostri Iesu Christi servetur. |
| 24 | He is faithful who hath called you, who also will do it. | Fidelis est, qui vocavit vos: qui etiam faciet. |
| 25 | Brethren, pray for us. | Fratres, orate pro nobis. |
| 26 | Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss. | Salutate fratres omnes in osculo sancto. |
| 27 | I charge you by the Lord, that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren. | Adiuro vos per Dominum ut legatur epistola haec omnibus sanctis fratribus. |
| 28 | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. | Gratia Domini nostri Iesu Christi vobiscum. Amen. |
