1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, you2f have no need that I write unto you.

2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord - Kurios so comes as a thief in the night.

3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

4 But you2f, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

5 You2f are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

6 Therefore let us not sleep, as [do] others; but let us watch and be sober.

7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

8 But 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.

9 For God-The Father has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah],

10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

11 For what reason comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also you2f do.

12 And we beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord - Kurios, and admonish you;

13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. [And] be at peace among yourselves.

14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all [men].

15 See that none render evil for evil unto any [man]; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all [men].

16 Rejoice evermore.

17 Pray without ceasing.

18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God-The Father in Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation] concerning you.

19 Quench not the Spirit [Ruach].

20 Despise not prophesyings.

21 but Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

23 And the very God-The Father of peace sanctify (make holy; set apart for God’s use) you wholly; and [I pray God-The Father] your whole Spirit [Ruach] and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah].

24 Faithful [is] he that calls you, who also will do [it].

25 Brethren, pray for us.

26 Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.

27 I charge you by the Lord - Kurios that this Epistle (important or formal letter) be read unto all the holy brethren.

28 The grace of our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] [be] with you. Amen. <[The first [Epistle (important or formal letter)] to the Thessalonians [victory of falsity] was written from Athens [uncertainty].]>
