AKJV (change)

1 Thessalonians 5

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