¹ But, concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, - ye have, no need, that, unto you, anything be written;² For, ye yourselves, perfectly well know - that, the day of the Lord, as a thief in the night, so, cometh;³ As soon as they begin to say - Peace! and safety! then, suddenly, upon them, cometh destruction, - just as the birth-throe unto her that is with child, - and in nowise shall they escape.⁴ But, ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that, the day, upon you, as upon thieves, should lay hold;⁵ For, all ye, are, sons of light, and sons of day, - we are not of night, nor of darkness:

⁶ Hence, then, let us not be sleeping, as the rest, but let us watch and be sober: - ⁷ For, they that sleep, by night, do sleep, and, they that drink, by night, do drink: - ⁸ But, we, being of the day, let us be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and, for helmet, the hope of salvation.⁹ Because God did not appoint us unto anger, but unto acquiring salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ: - ¹⁰ Who died for us, in order that, whether we be watching or sleeping, together with him, we should live.

¹¹ Wherefore be consoling one another, and building up, each the other, - even as ye are also doing.¹² Now we request you, brethren, - to know them who are toiling among you, and presiding over you, in the Lord, and admonishing you;¹³ And to hold them in very high esteem, in love, their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves,¹⁴ But we exhort you, brethren - admonish the disorderly, soothe them of little soul, help the weak, be longsuffering towards all:¹⁵ See that none, evil for evil, unto any, do render: but, evermore, what is good, be pursuing, towards one another, and towards all:

¹⁶ Evermore, rejoice,¹⁷ Unceasingly, pray,¹⁸ In everything, give thanks, - for, this, is a thing willed of God, in Christ Jesus, towards you:¹⁹ The Spirit, do not quench,²⁰ Prophesyings, do not despise,²¹ But, all things, put to the proof - what is comely, hold ye fast:²² From every form of wickedness, abstain.

²³ But, the God of peace himself, hallow you completely, and, entire, might your spirit, and soul, and body, - so as to be unblameable in the Presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, - be preserved!²⁴ Faithful, is he that is calling you, - who, also will perform.²⁵ Brethren! be praying for us also.²⁶ Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss.²⁷ I adjure you, by the Lord, that the letter be read unto all the brethren!²⁸ The favour of our Lord Jesus Christ, be with you.
