Thessalonicenses I 5
Clementine Vulgate, 1598Translation
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
King James Version with Apocrypha
1De temporibus autem, et momentis, fratres, non indigetis ut scribamus vobis.
1But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2Ipsi enim diligenter scitis quia dies Domini, sicut fur in nocte, ita veniet:
2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
3cum enim dixerint: Pax et securitas: tunc repentinus eis superveniet interitus, sicut dolor in utero habenti, et non effugient.
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.
4Vos autem, fratres, non estis in tenebris, ut vos dies illa tamquam fur comprehendat:
4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5omnes enim vos filii lucis estis, et filii diei: non sumus noctis, neque tenebrarum.
5Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6Igitur non dormiamus sicut et ceteri, sed vigilemus, et sobrii simus.
6Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7Qui enim dormiunt, nocte dormiunt: et qui ebrii sunt, nocte ebrii sunt.
7For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
8Nos autem, qui diei sumus, sobrii simus, induti loricam fidei et caritatis, et galeam spem salutis:
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.
9quoniam non posuit nos Deus in iram, sed in acquisitionem salutis per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum,
9For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10qui mortuus est pro nobis: ut sive vigilemus, sive dormiamus, simul cum illo vivamus.
10Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11Propter quod consolamini invicem, et ædificate alterutrum, sicut et facitis.
11Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
12Rogamus autem vos, fratres, ut noveritis eos qui laborant inter vos, et præsunt vobis in Domino, et monent vos,
12And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
13ut habeatis illos abundantius in caritate propter opus illorum: pacem habete cum eis.
13And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
14Rogamus autem vos, fratres, corripite inquietos, consolamini pusillanimes, suscipite infirmos, patientes estote ad omnes.
14Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men .
15Videte ne quis malum pro malo alicui reddat: sed semper quod bonum est sectamini in invicem, et in 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 .
16Semper gaudete.
16Rejoice evermore.
17Sine intermissione orate.
17Pray without ceasing.
18In omnibus gratias agite: hæc est enim voluntas Dei in Christo Jesu in omnibus vobis.
18In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19Spiritum nolite extinguere.
19Quench not the Spirit.
20Prophetias nolite spernere.
20Despise not prophesyings.
21Omnia autem probate: quod bonum est tenete.
21Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
22Ab omni specie mala abstinete vos.
22Abstain from all appearance of evil.
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.
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.
24Fidelis est, qui vocavit vos: qui etiam faciet.
24Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
25Fratres, orate pro nobis.
25Brethren, pray for us.
26Salutate fratres omnes in osculo sancto.
26Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.
27Adjuro vos per Dominum ut legatur epistola hæc omnibus sanctis fratribus.
27I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
28Gratia Domini nostri Jesu Christi vobiscum. Amen.
28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
