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

2For you are fully aware 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.
4⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲇⲉ ⲛⲉⲛ⳿ⲥⲛⲏⲟⲩ ⲛⲁⲣⲉⲧⲉⲛⲭⲏ ϧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲡⲭⲁⲕⲓ ⲁⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲧⲁϩⲉ ⲑⲏⲛⲟⲩ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲛϩⲁⲛⲣⲉϥϭⲓⲟⲩ⳿ⲓ.
4But you, brothers, are not in the darkness so that this day should overtake you like a thief.
5⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⲅⲁⲣ ⲧⲏⲣⲟⲩ ⳿ⲛⲑⲱⲧⲉⲛ ϩⲁⲛϣⲏ ⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⳿ⲫⲟⲩⲱⲓⲛⲓ ⲛⲉⲙ ϩⲁⲛϣⲏⲣⲓ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲁ ⲛⲁ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲣϩ ⲁⲛ ⲟⲩⲇⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲛⲁ ⳿ⲡⲭⲁⲕⲓ ⲁⲛ.
5For you are all sons of the light and sons of the day; we do not belong to the night or to the darkness.
6ϩⲁⲣⲁ ⲟⲩⲛ ⳿ⲙⲡⲉⲛ⳿ⲑⲣⲉⲛⲉⲛⲕⲟⲧ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲫⲣⲏϯ ⳿ⲙ⳿ⲡⲕⲉⲥⲉⲡⲓ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲛⲣⲱⲓⲥ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛⲉⲣⲛⲓⲙⲫⲓⲛ.
6So then, let us not sleep as the others do, but let us remain awake and sober.

7For those who sleep, sleep at night; and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.
8⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲇⲉ ⳿ⲁⲛⲟⲛ ⲛⲁ ⲡⲓ⳿ⲉϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲙⲁⲣⲉⲛⲉⲣⲛⲓⲙⲫⲓⲛ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉⲛϯ ϩⲓⲱⲧⲉⲛ ⳿ⲛϯϧⲉⲗⲓⲃϣ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲛⲁϩϯ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲁⲅⲁⲡⲏ ⲛⲉⲙ ϯⲡⲉⲣⲓⲕⲉⲫⲁⲗⲉⲁ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ϯϩⲉⲗⲡⲓⲥ ⳿ⲛⲧⲉ ⲡⲓⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ.
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.
9ϫⲉ ⲛⲉⲧⲁ ⲫϯ ⲭⲁⲛ ⲁⲛ ⲉⲩϫⲱⲛⲧ ⲁⲗⲗⲁ ⲉⲩⲧⲁⲛϧⲟ ⳿ⲛⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ⳿ⲉⲃⲟⲗ ϩⲓⲧⲉⲛ ⲡⲉⲛ⳪ Ⲓⲏ̅ⲥ̅ Ⲡⲭ̅ⲥ̅.
9For God has not appointed us to suffer wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
10ⲫⲁⲓ ⲉⲧⲁϥⲙⲟⲩ ⳿ⲉ⳿ϩⲣⲏⲓ ⳿ⲉϫⲱⲛ ϩⲓⲛⲁ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲣⲏⲥ ⳿ⲓⲧⲉ ⲉⲛⲉⲛⲕⲟⲧ ⲉⲛ⳿ⲉⲱⲛϧ ⲛⲉⲙⲁϥ ⲉⲩⲥⲟⲡ.
10He died for us so 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.

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

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

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

16Rejoice at all times.

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

19Do not extinguish the Spirit.

20Do not treat prophecies with contempt,

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.
