1 Now concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need to be written to you,
2 for you yourselves know thoroughly that the day of the Prince comes as a thief in the night.
3 When they say 'Peace' and 'Security', then suddenly destruction comes upon them, even as a labor pang to her who is with child. And by no means shall they escape.
4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should surprise you as thieves.
5 All of you are sons of light and sons of day; we are not of night or of darkness.
6 So then we should not sleep as the rest; rather we should be alert and we should be sober.
7 For those falling asleep, by night they fall asleep, and those getting drunk, by night they get drunk.
8 But we being of day should be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and a helmet: an expectation of deliverance.
9 Because Yahweh has not ordained us for wrath, but for the acquisition of preservation through our Prince Yahshua Christ,
10 who died on behalf of us, that whether we would be alert or we would sleep, together with Him we would live.
11 On which account you encourage one another, and you build up one another, even just as you do.
12 Now we ask you, brethren, to know those who are laboring among you, and being set before you in authority and admonishing you,
13 and to esteem them with love beyond excess on account of their work. Live peaceably among yourselves.
14 But we exhort you, brethren, admonish the undisciplined, encourage those of little spirit, put up with those who are weak, be patient towards all.
15 Watch that one does not render evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue good both towards one another and towards all.
16 Always rejoice.
17 Pray incessantly.
18 In everything, be thankful, for this is the will of Yahweh in Christ Yahshua for you.
19 Do not quench the Spirit.
20 Do not despise expounding of scripture,
21 but scrutinize all things. Hold fast that which is right.
22 Abstain from every sort of wickedness.
23 Now may Yahweh Himself of peace sanctify you completely, and may your perfect spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Prince Yahshua Christ.
24 He calling you is trustworthy, Who will also produce.
25 Brethren, you also pray for us.
26 Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.
27 I adjure you by the Prince: the letter is to be read to all the brethren.
28 The favor of our Prince Yahshua Christ is with you.
