1 Thessalonians 5
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
1De temporibus autem, et momentis, fratres, non indigetis ut scribamus vobis.
2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh 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 safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman 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 ye, 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:
5Ye are all the children of light, and the 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 do others; 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 be drunken are drunken 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, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an 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 to wrath, but to obtain 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 wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
10qui mortuus est pro nobis: ut sive vigilemus, sive dormiamus, simul cum illo vivamus.
11Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
11Propter quod consolamini invicem, et ædificate alterutrum, sicut et facitis.
12And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which 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,
13And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
13ut habeatis illos abundantius in caritate propter opus illorum: pacem habete cum eis.
14Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men .
14Rogamus autem vos, fratres, corripite inquietos, consolamini pusillanimes, suscipite infirmos, patientes estote ad omnes.
15See that none render evil for evil unto any man ; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men .
15Videte ne quis malum pro malo alicui reddat: sed semper quod bonum est sectamini in invicem, et in omnes.
16Rejoice evermore.
16Semper gaudete.
17Pray without ceasing.
17Sine intermissione orate.
18In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
18In omnibus gratias agite: hæc est enim voluntas Dei in Christo Jesu in omnibus vobis.
19Quench not the Spirit.
19Spiritum nolite extinguere.
20Despise not prophesyings.
20Prophetias nolite spernere.
21Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
21Omnia autem probate: quod bonum est tenete.
22Abstain from all appearance of evil.
22Ab omni specie mala abstinete vos.
23And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto 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.
24Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
24Fidelis est, qui vocavit vos: qui etiam faciet.
25Brethren, pray for us.
25Fratres, orate pro nobis.
26Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.
26Salutate fratres omnes in osculo sancto.
27I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto 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.
