Berean Standard Bible
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Now about the times and seasons, brothers, we do not need to write to you.
1De temporibus autem, et momentis, fratres, non indigetis ut scribamus vobis.
2For you are fully aware that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
2Ipsi enim diligenter scitis quia dies Domini, sicut fur in nocte, ita veniet:
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.
3cum enim dixerint: Pax et securitas: tunc repentinus eis superveniet interitus, sicut dolor in utero habenti, et non effugient.
4But you, brothers, are not in the darkness so that this day should overtake you like a thief.
4Vos autem, fratres, non estis in tenebris, ut vos dies illa tamquam fur comprehendat:
5For you are all sons of the light and sons of the day; we do not belong to the night or to the darkness.
5omnes enim vos filii lucis estis, et filii diei: non sumus noctis, neque tenebrarum.
6So then, let us not sleep as the others do, but let us remain awake and sober.
6Igitur non dormiamus sicut et ceteri, sed vigilemus, et sobrii simus.
7For those who sleep, sleep at night; and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.
7Qui enim dormiunt, nocte dormiunt: et qui ebrii sunt, nocte ebrii sunt.
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.
8Nos autem, qui diei sumus, sobrii simus, induti loricam fidei et caritatis, et galeam spem salutis:
9For God has not appointed us to suffer wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
9quoniam non posuit nos Deus in iram, sed in acquisitionem salutis per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum,
10He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with Him.
10qui mortuus est pro nobis: ut sive vigilemus, sive dormiamus, simul cum illo vivamus.
11Therefore encourage and build one another up, just as you are already doing.
11Propter quod consolamini invicem, et ædificate alterutrum, sicut et facitis.
12But we ask you, brothers, to acknowledge those who work diligently among you, who preside over you in the Lord and give you instruction.
12Rogamus autem vos, fratres, ut noveritis eos qui laborant inter vos, et præsunt vobis in Domino, et monent vos,
13In love, hold them in highest regard because of their work. Live in peace with one another.
13ut habeatis illos abundantius in caritate propter opus illorum: pacem habete cum eis.
14And we urge you, brothers, to admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, and be patient with everyone.
14Rogamus autem vos, fratres, corripite inquietos, consolamini pusillanimes, suscipite infirmos, patientes estote ad omnes.
15Make sure that no one repays evil for evil. Always pursue what is good for one another and for all people.
15Videte ne quis malum pro malo alicui reddat: sed semper quod bonum est sectamini in invicem, et in omnes.
16Rejoice at all times.
16Semper gaudete.
17Pray without ceasing.
17Sine intermissione orate.
18Give thanks in every circumstance, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
18In omnibus gratias agite: hæc est enim voluntas Dei in Christo Jesu in omnibus vobis.
19Do not extinguish the Spirit.
19Spiritum nolite extinguere.
20Do not treat prophecies with contempt,
20Prophetias nolite spernere.
21but test all things. Hold fast to what is good.
21Omnia autem probate: quod bonum est tenete.
22Abstain from every form of evil.
22Ab omni specie mala abstinete vos.
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.
23Ipse autem Deus pacis sanctificet vos per omnia: ut integer spiritus vester, et anima, et corpus sine querela in adventu Domini nostri Jesu Christi servetur.
24The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it.
24Fidelis est, qui vocavit vos: qui etiam faciet.
25Brothers, pray for us as well.
25Fratres, orate pro nobis.
26Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
26Salutate fratres omnes in osculo sancto.
27I charge you before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers.
27Adjuro vos per Dominum ut legatur epistola hæc omnibus sanctis fratribus.
28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
28Gratia Domini nostri Jesu Christi vobiscum. Amen.
