Ad Thessalonicenses Epistula I
Sancti Pauli Apostoli

I Thessalonicenses, chapter 5, Vulgate and King James Version

Chapter 5

Vulgate


   1 De temporibus autem et mo mentis, fratres, non indigetis, ut scribatur vobis;
   2 ipsi enim diligenter scitis quia dies Domini, sicut fur in nocte, ita veniet.
   3 Cum enim dixerint: "Pax et securitas ", tunc repentinus eis superveniet interitus, sicut dolor in utero habenti, et non effugient.
   4 Vos autem, fratres, non estis in tenebris, ut vos dies ille tamquam fur comprehendat;
   5 omnes enim vos filii lucis estis et filii diei. Non sumus noctis neque tenebrarum;
   6 igitur non dormiamus sicut ceteri, sed vigilemus et sobrii simus.
   7 Qui enim dormiunt, nocte dormiunt; et, qui ebrii sunt, nocte inebriantur.
   8 Nos autem, qui diei sumus, sobrii simus, induti loricam fidei et caritatis et galeam spem salutis;
   9 quoniam non posuit nos Deus in iram sed in acquisitionem salutis per Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum,
   10 qui mortuus est pro nobis, ut sive vigilemus sive dormiamus, simul cum illo vivamus.
   11 Propter quod consolamini invicem et aedificate alterutrum, sicut et facitis.
   12 Rogamus autem vos, fratres, ut noveritis eos, qui laborant inter vos et praesunt vobis in Domino et monent vos,
   13 ut habeatis illos superabundanter in caritate propter opus illorum. Pacem habete inter vos.
   14 Hortamur autem vos, fratres: corripite inquietos, consolamini pusillanimes, suscipite infirmos, longanimes estote ad omnes.
   15 Videte, ne quis malum pro malo alicui reddat, sed semper, quod bonum est, sectamini et in invicem et in omnes.
   16 Semper gaudete,
   17 sine intermissione orate,
   18 in omnibus gratias agite; haec enim voluntas Dei est in Christo Iesu erga vos.
   19 Spiritum nolite exstinguere,
   20 prophetias nolite spernere;
   21 omnia autem probate, quod bonum est tenete,
   22 ab omni specie mala abstinete vos.
   23 Ipse autem Deus pacis sanctificet vos per omnia, et integer spiritus vester et anima et corpus sine querela in adventu Domini nostri Iesu Christi servetur.
   24 Fidelis est, qui vocat vos, qui etiam faciet.
   25 Fratres, orate etiam pro nobis.
   26 Salutate fratres omnes in osculo sancto.
   27 Adiuro vos per Dominum, ut legatur epistula omnibus fratribus.
   28 Gratia Domini nostri Iesu Christi vobiscum.

King James Version


   1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
   2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
   3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
   4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
   5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
   6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
   7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
   8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.
   9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
   10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
   11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
   12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
   13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
   14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
   15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
   16 Rejoice evermore.
   17 Pray without ceasing.
   18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
   19 Quench not the Spirit.
   20 Despise not prophesyings.
   21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
   22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
   23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
   24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
   25 Brethren, pray for us.
   26 Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.
   27 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
   28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

The first epistle unto the Thessalonians was written from Athens.
