International Standard Version

1Now about the times and seasons, brothers, we do not need to write to you.

1Now you do not need to have anything written to you about times and dates, brothers,

2For you are fully aware that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

2for you yourselves know very well that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

3While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

3When people say, "There is peace and security," destruction will strike them as suddenly as labor pains come to a pregnant woman, and they will not be able to escape.

4But you, brothers, are not in the darkness so that this day should overtake you like a thief.

4However, brothers, you are not in the darkness, in order that the Day of the Lord might surprise you like a thief.

5For you are all sons of the light and sons of the day; we do not belong to the night or to the darkness.

5For all of you are children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to darkness.

6So then, let us not sleep as the others do, but let us remain awake and sober.

6Therefore, let's not fall asleep like others do, but let's stay awake and be sober.

7For those who sleep, sleep at night; and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.

7For people who go to sleep, go to sleep at night; and people who get drunk, get drunk at night.

8But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and the helmet of our hope of salvation.

8But since we belong to the day, let's be sober. We must put on the breastplate of faith and love, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.

9For God has not appointed us to suffer wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.

9For God has not destined us to receive wrath but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus, the Messiah,

10He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him.

10who died for us in order that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.

11Therefore encourage and build one another up, just as you are already doing.

11So then, encourage one another and build each other up, as you are doing.

12But we ask you, brothers, to acknowledge those who work diligently among you, who preside over you in the Lord and give you instruction.

12Brothers, we ask you to show your appreciation for those who work among you, set an example for you in the Lord, and instruct you.

13In love, hold them in highest regard because of their work. Live in peace with one another.

13Hold them in the highest regard, loving them because of their work. Live in peace with each other.

14And we urge you, brothers, to admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, and be patient with everyone.

14We urge you, brothers, to admonish those who are idle, cheer up those who are discouraged, and help those who are weak. Be patient with everyone.

15Make sure that no one repays evil for evil. Always pursue what is good for one another and for all people.

15Make sure that no one pays back evil for evil. Instead, always pursue what is good for each other and for everyone else.

16Rejoice at all times.

16Always be joyful.

17Pray without ceasing.

17Continually be prayerful.

18Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

18In everything be thankful, because this is God's will for you in the Messiah Jesus.

19Do not extinguish the Spirit.

19Do not put out the Spirit's fire.

20Do not treat prophecies with contempt,

20Do not despise prophecies.

21but test all things. Hold fast to what is good.

21Instead, test everything. Hold on to what is good.

22Abstain from every form of evil.

22Keep away from every kind of evil.

23Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely, and may your entire spirit, soul, and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

23May the God of peace himself make you holy in every way. And may your whole being—spirit, soul, and body—remain blameless when our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, appears.

24The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it.

24The one who calls you is faithful, and he will continue to be faithful.

25Brothers, pray for us as well.

25Brothers, pray for us.

26Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.

27I charge you before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers.

27I order you by the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers.

28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

28May the grace of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah, be with you! Amen.
