CHAP. V.

1 Hee proceedeth in the former description of Christs comming to iudgement, 16 and giueth diuers precepts, 23 and so concludeth the Epistle.

¹But of the times and the seasons, brethren, yee haue no need that I write vnto you.

²For your selues knowe perfectly that the day of the Lord so commeth as a thiefe in the night.

³For 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.

⁴But ye, brethren, are not in darkenesse, that that day should ouertake you as a thiefe.

⁵Yee are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkenesse.

⁶Therefore let vs not sleepe, as doe others: but let vs watch and be sober.

⁷For they that sleepe, sleepe in the night, and they that bee drunken, are drunken in the night.

⁸But 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.

⁹For God hath not appointed vs to wrath: but to obtaine saluation by our Lord Iesus Christ,

¹⁰Who died for vs, that whether we wake or sleepe, we should liue together with him.

¹¹Wherefore, comfort your selues together, and edifie one another, euen as also ye doe.¹¹

¹²And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are ouer you in the Lord, and admonish you:

¹³And to esteeme them very highly in loue for their workes sake, and be at peace among your selues.

¹⁴Now we exhort you, brethren, warne them that are vnruly, comfort the feeble minded, support the weake, be patient toward all men.¹⁴

¹⁵See that none render euill for euill vnto any man: but euer follow that which is good, both among your selues and to all men.

¹⁶Reioyce euermore:

¹⁷Pray without ceasing:

¹⁸In euery thing giue thankes: for this is the will of God in Christ Iesus concerning you.

¹⁹Quench not the spirit:

²⁰Despise not prophecyings:

²¹Proue all things: hold fast that which is good.

²²Abstaine from all appearance of euill.

²³And 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.

²⁴Faithfull is hee that calleth you, who also will doe it.

²⁵Brethren, pray for vs.

²⁶Greete all the brethren with an holy kisse.

²⁷I charge you by the Lord, that this Epistle bee read vnto all the holy brethren.²⁷

²⁸The grace of our Lord Iesus Christ be with you, Amen. The first Epistle vnto the Thessalonians, was written from Athens.
