| 1 | But of the times and the seasons, brethren, yee haue no need that I write vnto you. |
| 2 | For your selues knowe perfectly that the day of the Lord so commeth as a thiefe in the night. |
| 3 | For when they shal say, Peace and safety: then sudden destructiō commeth vpon them, as trauaile vpon a woman with childe, and they shall not escape. |
| 4 | But ye, brethren, are not in darkenesse, that that day should ouertake you as a thiefe. |
| 5 | Yee are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkenesse. |
| 6 | Therefore let vs not sleepe, as doe others: but let vs watch and be sober. |
| 7 | For they that sleepe, sleepe in the night, and they that bee drunken, are drunken in the night. |
| 8 | But let vs who are of the day, bee sober, putting on the brestplate of faith and loue, and for an helmet, the hope of saluation. |
| 9 | For God hath not appointed vs to wrath: but to obtaine saluation by our Lord Iesus Christ, |
| 10 | Who died for vs, that whether we wake or sleepe, we should liue together with him. |
| 11 | Wherefore, comfort your selues together, and edifie one another, euen as also ye doe. |
| 12 | And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are ouer you in the Lord, and admonish you: |
| 13 | And to esteeme them very highly in loue for their workes sake, and be at peace among your selues. |
| 14 | Now we exhort you, brethren, warne them that are vnruly, comfort the feeble minded, support the weake, be patient toward all men. |
| 15 | See that none render euill for euill vnto any man: but euer follow that which is good, both among your selues and to all men. |
| 16 | Reioyce euermore: |
| 17 | Pray without ceasing: |
| 18 | In euery thing giue thankes: for this is the will of God in Christ Iesus concerning you. |
| 19 | Quench not the spirit: |
| 20 | Despise not prophecyings: |
| 21 | Proue all things: hold fast that which is good. |
| 22 | Abstaine from all appearance of euill. |
| 23 | And the very God of peace sanctifie you wholly: and I pray God your whole spirit, and soule, and body be preserued blamelesse vnto the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ. |
| 24 | Faithfull is hee that calleth you, who also will doe it. |
| 25 | Brethren, pray for vs. |
| 26 | Greete all the brethren with an holy kisse. |
| 27 | I charge you by the Lord, that this Epistle bee read vnto all the holy brethren. |
| 28 | The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with you, Amen. The first Epistle vnto the Thessalonians, was written from Athens. |
