Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1But of the times and moments, brethren, you need not, that we should write to you;
1De temporibus autem, et momentis, fratres, non indigetis ut scribamus vobis.
2For yourselves know perfectly, that the day of the Lord shall so come, as a thief in the night.
2Ipsi enim diligenter scitis quia dies Domini, sicut fur in nocte, ita veniet:
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.
3cum enim dixerint: Pax et securitas: tunc repentinus eis superveniet interitus, sicut dolor in utero habenti, et non effugient.
4But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
4Vos autem, fratres, non estis in tenebris, ut vos dies illa tamquam fur comprehendat:
5For all you are the children of light, and children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
5omnes enim vos filii lucis estis, et filii diei: non sumus noctis, neque tenebrarum.
6Therefore, let us not sleep, as others do; but let us watch, and be sober.
6Igitur non dormiamus sicut et ceteri, sed vigilemus, et sobrii simus.
7For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that are drunk, are drunk in the night.
7Qui enim dormiunt, nocte dormiunt: et qui ebrii sunt, nocte ebrii sunt.
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.
8Nos autem, qui diei sumus, sobrii simus, induti loricam fidei et caritatis, et galeam spem salutis:
9For God hath not appointed us unto wrath, but unto the purchasing of salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
9quoniam non posuit nos Deus in iram, sed in acquisitionem salutis per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum,
10Who died for us; that, whether we watch or sleep, we may live together with him.
10qui mortuus est pro nobis: ut sive vigilemus, sive dormiamus, simul cum illo vivamus.
11For which cause comfort one another; and edify one another, as you also do.
11Propter quod consolamini invicem, et ædificate alterutrum, sicut et facitis.
12And we beseech you, brethren, to know them who labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you:
12Rogamus autem vos, fratres, ut noveritis eos qui laborant inter vos, et præsunt vobis in Domino, et monent vos,
13That you esteem them more abundantly in charity, for their work’s sake. Have peace with them.
13ut habeatis illos abundantius in caritate propter opus illorum: pacem habete cum eis.
14And we beseech you, brethren, rebuke the unquiet, comfort the feeble minded, support the weak, be patient towards all men.
14Rogamus autem vos, fratres, corripite inquietos, consolamini pusillanimes, suscipite infirmos, patientes estote ad omnes.
15See that none render evil for evil to any man; but ever follow that which is good towards each other, and towards all men.
15Videte ne quis malum pro malo alicui reddat: sed semper quod bonum est sectamini in invicem, et in omnes.
16Always rejoice.
16Semper gaudete.
17Pray without ceasing.
17Sine intermissione orate.
18In all things give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you all.
18In omnibus gratias agite: hæc est enim voluntas Dei in Christo Jesu in omnibus vobis.
19Extinguish not the spirit.
19Spiritum nolite extinguere.
20Despise not prophecies.
20Prophetias nolite spernere.
21But prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
21Omnia autem probate: quod bonum est tenete.
22From all appearance of evil refrain yourselves.
22Ab omni specie mala abstinete vos.
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.
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.
24He is faithful who hath called you, who also will do it.
24Fidelis est, qui vocavit vos: qui etiam faciet.
25Brethren, pray for us.
25Fratres, orate pro nobis.
26Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss.
26Salutate fratres omnes in osculo sancto.
27I charge you by the Lord, that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren.
27Adjuro vos per Dominum ut legatur epistola hæc omnibus sanctis fratribus.
28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
28Gratia Domini nostri Jesu Christi vobiscum. Amen.
