Chinese Union Version, punctuated (Traditional)
1But of the times and moments, brethren, you need not, that we should write to you;
1弟兄們，論到時候、日期，不用寫信給你們，
2For yourselves know perfectly, that the day of the Lord shall so come, as a thief in the night.
2因為你們自己明明曉得，主的日子來到，好像夜間的賊一樣。
3For when they shall say, peace and security; then shall sudden destruction come upon them, as the pains upon her that is with child, and they shall not escape.
3人正說「平安穩妥」的時候，災禍忽然臨到他們，如同產難臨到懷胎的婦人一樣，他們絕不能逃脫。
4But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
4弟兄們，你們卻不在黑暗裏，叫那日子臨到你們像賊一樣。
5For all you are the children of light, and children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
5你們都是光明之子，都是白晝之子。我們不是屬黑夜的，也不是屬幽暗的。
6Therefore, let us not sleep, as others do; but let us watch, and be sober.
6所以，我們不要睡覺像別人一樣，總要警醒謹守。
7For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that are drunk, are drunk in the night.
7因為睡了的人是在夜間睡，醉了的人是在夜間醉。
8But let us, who are of the day, be sober, having on the breastplate of faith and charity, and for a helmet the hope of salvation.
8但我們既然屬乎白晝，就應當謹守，把信和愛當作護心鏡遮胸，把得救的盼望當作頭盔戴上。
9For God hath not appointed us unto wrath, but unto the purchasing of salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
9因為上帝不是預定我們受刑，乃是預定我們藉着我們主耶穌基督得救。
10Who died for us; that, whether we watch or sleep, we may live together with him.
10他替我們死，叫我們無論醒着，睡着，都與他同活。
11For which cause comfort one another; and edify one another, as you also do.
11所以，你們該彼此勸慰，互相建立，正如你們素常所行的。
12And we beseech you, brethren, to know them who labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you:
12弟兄們，我們勸你們敬重那在你們中間勞苦的人，就是在主裏面治理你們、勸戒你們的；
13That you esteem them more abundantly in charity, for their work’s sake. Have peace with them.
13又因他們所做的工，用愛心格外尊重他們。你們也要彼此和睦。
14And we beseech you, brethren, rebuke the unquiet, comfort the feeble minded, support the weak, be patient towards all men.
14我們又勸弟兄們，要警戒不守規矩的人，勉勵灰心的人，扶助軟弱的人，也要向眾人忍耐。
15See that none render evil for evil to any man; but ever follow that which is good towards each other, and towards all men.
15你們要謹慎，無論是誰都不可以惡報惡；或是彼此相待，或是待眾人，常要追求良善。
16Always rejoice.
16要常常喜樂，
17Pray without ceasing.
17不住地禱告，
18In all things give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you all.
18凡事謝恩；因為這是上帝在基督耶穌裏向你們所定的旨意。
19Extinguish not the spirit.
19不要消滅 聖 靈 的感動 ；
20Despise not prophecies.
20不要藐視先知的講論。
21But prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
21但要凡事察驗；善美的要持守，
22From all appearance of evil refrain yourselves.
22各樣的惡事要禁戒不做。
23And may the God of peace himself sanctify you in all things; that your whole spirit, and soul, and body, may be preserved blameless in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
23願賜平安的上帝親自使你們全然成聖！又願你們的靈與魂與身子得蒙保守，在我們主耶穌基督降臨的時候，完全無可指摘！
24He is faithful who hath called you, who also will do it.
24那召你們的本是信實的，他必成就這事。
25Brethren, pray for us.
25請弟兄們為我們禱告。
26Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss.
26與眾弟兄親嘴問安，務要聖潔。
27I charge you by the Lord, that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren.
27我指着主囑咐你們，要把這信念給眾弟兄聽。
28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
28願我主耶穌基督的恩 常 與你們同在！
