Greek New Testament: Textus Receptus
1But of the times and moments, brethren, you need not, that we should write to you;
1Περὶ δὲ τῶν χρόνων καὶ τῶν καιρῶν, ἀδελφοί, οὐ χρείαν ἔχετε ὑμῖν γράφεσθαι.
2For yourselves know perfectly, that the day of the Lord shall so come, as a thief in the night.
2Αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἀκριβῶς οἴδατε ὅτι ἡ ἡμέρα Κυρίου ὡς κλέπτης ἐν νυκτὶ οὕτως ἔρχεται·
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.
3ὅταν γὰρ λέγωσιν, Εἰρήνη καὶ ἀσφάλεια, τότε αἰφνίδιος αὐτοῖς ἐφίσταται ὄλεθρος, ὥσπερ ἡ ὠδὶν τῇ ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσῃ, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐκφύγωσιν.
4But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
4Ὑμεῖς δέ, ἀδελφοί, οὐκ ἐστὲ ἐν σκότει, ἵνα ἡ ἡμέρα ὑμᾶς ὡς κλέπτης καταλάβῃ·
5For all you are the children of light, and children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
5πάντες ὑμεῖς υἱοὶ φωτός ἐστε καὶ υἱοὶ ἡμέρας· οὐκ ἐσμὲν νυκτὸς οὐδὲ σκότους·
6Therefore, let us not sleep, as others do; but let us watch, and be sober.
6ἄρα οὖν μὴ καθεύδωμεν ὡς καὶ οἱ λοιποί, ἀλλὰ γρηγορῶμεν καὶ νήφωμεν.
7For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that are drunk, are drunk in the night.
7Οἱ γὰρ καθεύδοντες νυκτὸς καθεύδουσι· καὶ οἱ μεθυσκόμενοι, νυκτὸς μεθύουσιν.
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.
8Ἡμεῖς δέ, ἡμέρας ὄντες, νήφωμεν, ἐνδυσάμενοι θώρακα πίστεως καὶ ἀγάπης, καὶ περικεφαλαίαν, ἐλπίδα σωτηρίας.
9For God hath not appointed us unto wrath, but unto the purchasing of salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
9Ὅτι οὐκ ἔθετο ἡμᾶς ὁ Θεὸς εἰς ὀργήν, ἀλλ᾿ εἰς περιποίησιν σωτηρίας διὰ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ,
10Who died for us; that, whether we watch or sleep, we may live together with him.
10τοῦ ἀποθανόντος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν, ἵνα, εἴτε γρηγορῶμεν εἴτε καθεύδωμεν, ἅμα σὺν αὐτῷ ζήσωμεν.
11For which cause comfort one another; and edify one another, as you also do.
11Διὸ παρακαλεῖτε ἀλλήλους, καὶ οἰκοδομεῖτε εἷς τὸν ἕνα, καθὼς καὶ ποιεῖτε.
12And we beseech you, brethren, to know them who labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you:
12Ἐρωτῶμεν δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, εἰδέναι τοὺς κοπιῶντας ἐν ὑμῖν, καὶ προϊσταμένους ὑμῶν ἐν Κυρίῳ, καὶ νουθετοῦντας ὑμᾶς,
13That you esteem them more abundantly in charity, for their work’s sake. Have peace with them.
13καὶ ἡγεῖσθαι αὐτοὺς ὑπὲρ ἐκπερισσοῦ ἐν ἀγάπῃ διὰ τὸ ἔργον αὐτῶν. Εἰρηνεύετε ἐν ἑαυτοῖς.
14And we beseech you, brethren, rebuke the unquiet, comfort the feeble minded, support the weak, be patient towards all men.
14Παρακαλοῦμεν δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, νουθετεῖτε τοὺς ἀτάκτους, παραμυθεῖσθε τοὺς ὀλιγοψύχους, ἀντέχεσθε τῶν ἀσθενῶν, μακροθυμεῖτε πρὸς πάντας.
15See that none render evil for evil to any man; but ever follow that which is good towards each other, and towards all men.
15Ὁρᾶτε μή τις κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ τινὶ ἀποδῷ· ἀλλὰ πάντοτε τὸ ἀγαθὸν διώκετε καὶ εἰς ἀλλήλους καὶ εἰς πάντας.
16Always rejoice.
16Πάντοτε χαίρετε·
17Pray without ceasing.
17ἀδιαλείπτως προσεύχεσθε·
18In all things give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you all.
18ἐν παντὶ εὐχαριστεῖτε· τοῦτο γὰρ θέλημα Θεοῦ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ εἰς ὑμᾶς.
19Extinguish not the spirit.
19Τὸ πνεῦμα μὴ σβέννυτε·
20Despise not prophecies.
20προφητείας μὴ ἐξουθενεῖτε·
21But prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
21πάντα δοκιμάζετε· τὸ καλὸν κατέχετε·
22From all appearance of evil refrain yourselves.
22ἀπὸ παντὸς εἴδους πονηροῦ ἀπέχεσθε.
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.
23Αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ Θεὸς τῆς εἰρήνης ἁγιάσαι ὑμᾶς ὁλοτελεῖς· καὶ ὁλόκληρον ὑμῶν τὸ πνεῦμα καὶ ἡ ψυχὴ καὶ τὸ σῶμα ἀμέμπτως ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τηρηθείη.
24He is faithful who hath called you, who also will do it.
24Πιστὸς ὁ καλῶν ὑμᾶς, ὃς καὶ ποιήσει.
25Brethren, pray for us.
25Ἀδελφοί, προσεύχεσθε περὶ ἡμῶν.
26Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss.
26Ἀσπάσασθε τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς πάντας ἐν φιλήματι ἁγίῳ.
27I charge you by the Lord, that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren.
27Ὁρκίζω ὑμᾶς τὸν Κύριον, ἀναγνωσθῆναι τὴν ἐπιστολὴν πᾶσι τοῖς ἁγίοις ἀδελφοῖς.
28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
28Ἡ χάρις τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μεθ᾿ ὑμῶν. Ἀμήν.
