1But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you.1Περὶ δὲ τῶν χρόνων καὶ τῶν καιρῶν ἀδελφοί οὐ χρείαν ἔχετε ὑμῖν γράφεσθαι
2For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.2αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἀκριβῶς οἴδατε ὅτι ἡμέρα Κυρίου ὡς κλέπτης ἐν νυκτὶ οὕτως ἔρχεται
3For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape.3ὅταν λέγωσιν Εἰρήνη καὶ ἀσφάλεια τότε αἰφνίδιος αὐτοῖς ἐφίσταται* ὄλεθρος ὥσπερ ὠδὶν τῇ ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσῃ καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐκφύγωσιν
4But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.4Ὑμεῖς δέ ἀδελφοί οὐκ ἐστὲ ἐν σκότει ἵνα ἡμέρα ὑμᾶς ὡς κλέπτης καταλάβῃ
5You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.5πάντες γὰρ ὑμεῖς υἱοὶ φωτός ἐστε καὶ υἱοὶ ἡμέρας Οὐκ ἐσμὲν νυκτὸς οὐδὲ σκότους
6Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.6ἄρα οὖν μὴ καθεύδωμεν ὡς οἱ λοιποί ἀλλὰ γρηγορῶμεν καὶ νήφωμεν
7For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.7οἱ γὰρ καθεύδοντες νυκτὸς καθεύδουσιν καὶ οἱ μεθυσκόμενοι νυκτὸς μεθύουσιν
8But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation.8ἡμεῖς δὲ ἡμέρας ὄντες νήφωμεν ἐνδυσάμενοι θώρακα πίστεως καὶ ἀγάπης καὶ περικεφαλαίαν ἐλπίδα σωτηρίας
9For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,9ὅτι οὐκ ἔθετο ἡμᾶς Θεὸς εἰς ὀργὴν ἀλλὰ εἰς περιποίησιν σωτηρίας διὰ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ
10who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.10τοῦ ἀποθανόντος περὶ ἡμῶν ἵνα εἴτε γρηγορῶμεν εἴτε καθεύδωμεν ἅμα σὺν αὐτῷ ζήσωμεν
11Therefore comfort each other and edify one another, just as you also are doing.11Διὸ παρακαλεῖτε ἀλλήλους καὶ οἰκοδομεῖτε εἷς τὸν ἕνα καθὼς καὶ ποιεῖτε
12And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,12Ἐρωτῶμεν δὲ ὑμᾶς ἀδελφοί εἰδέναι τοὺς κοπιῶντας ἐν ὑμῖν καὶ προϊσταμένους ὑμῶν ἐν Κυρίῳ καὶ νουθετοῦντας ὑμᾶς
13and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.13καὶ ἡγεῖσθαι αὐτοὺς ὑπερεκπερισσοῦ* ἐν ἀγάπῃ διὰ τὸ ἔργον αὐτῶν εἰρηνεύετε ἐν ἑαυτοῖς
14Now we exhort you, brethren, warn those who are unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all.14Παρακαλοῦμεν δὲ ὑμᾶς ἀδελφοί νουθετεῖτε τοὺς ἀτάκτους παραμυθεῖσθε τοὺς ὀλιγοψύχους ἀντέχεσθε τῶν ἀσθενῶν μακροθυμεῖτε πρὸς πάντας
15See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.15Ὁρᾶτε μή τις κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ τινι ἀποδῷ ἀλλὰ πάντοτε τὸ ἀγαθὸν διώκετε [καὶ] εἰς ἀλλήλους καὶ εἰς πάντας
16Rejoice always,16Πάντοτε χαίρετε
17pray without ceasing,17ἀδιαλείπτως προσεύχεσθε
18in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.18ἐν παντὶ εὐχαριστεῖτε τοῦτο γὰρ θέλημα Θεοῦ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ εἰς ὑμᾶς
19Do not quench the Spirit.19Τὸ Πνεῦμα μὴ σβέννυτε
20Do not despise prophecies.20προφητείας μὴ ἐξουθενεῖτε
21Test all things; hold fast what is good.21πάντα δὲ δοκιμάζετε τὸ καλὸν κατέχετε
22Abstain from every form of evil.22ἀπὸ παντὸς εἴδους πονηροῦ ἀπέχεσθε
23Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.23Αὐτὸς δὲ Θεὸς τῆς εἰρήνης ἁγιάσαι ὑμᾶς ὁλοτελεῖς καὶ ὁλόκληρον ὑμῶν τὸ πνεῦμα καὶ ψυχὴ καὶ τὸ σῶμα ἀμέμπτως ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τηρηθείη
24He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it.24πιστὸς καλῶν ὑμᾶς ὃς καὶ ποιήσει
25Brethren, pray for us.25Ἀδελφοί προσεύχεσθε [καὶ] περὶ ἡμῶν
26Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.26Ἀσπάσασθε τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς πάντας ἐν φιλήματι ἁγίῳ
27I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren.27Ἐνορκίζω ὑμᾶς τὸν Κύριον ἀναγνωσθῆναι τὴν ἐπιστολὴν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς
28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.28 χάρις τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μεθ’ ὑμῶν ⧼Ἀμήν⧽
