1Th 5 (King James)

¹ But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
² For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
³ For 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.
⁴ But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
⁵ Ye 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 hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
¹⁰ Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
¹¹ Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
¹² And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, 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 in Christ Jesus concerning you.
¹⁹ Quench not the Spirit.
²⁰ Despise not prophesyings.
²¹ Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
²² Abstain from all appearance of evil.
²³ And 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.
²⁴ Faithful is he that calleth 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 that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
²⁸ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

1Th 5 (Stephanus 1550)

¹ περὶ δὲ τῶν χρόνων καὶ τῶν καιρῶν ἀδελφοί οὐ χρείαν ἔχετε ὑμῖν γράφεσθαι
² αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἀκριβῶς οἴδατε ὅτι ἡ ἡμέρα κυρίου ὡς κλέπτης ἐν νυκτὶ οὕτως ἔρχεται
³ ὅταν γὰρ λέγωσιν εἰρήνη καὶ ἀσφάλεια τότε αἰφνίδιος αὐτοῖς ἐφίσταται ὄλεθρος ὥσπερ ἡ ὠδὶν τῇ ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσῃ καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐκφύγωσιν
⁴ ὑμεῖς δέ ἀδελφοί οὐκ ἐστὲ ἐν σκότει ἵνα ἡ ἡμέρα ὑμᾶς ὡς κλέπτης καταλάβῃ
⁵ πάντες ὑμεῖς υἱοὶ φωτός ἐστε καὶ υἱοὶ ἡμέρας οὐκ ἐσμὲν νυκτὸς οὐδὲ σκότους
⁶ ἄρα οὖν μὴ καθεύδωμεν ὡς καὶ οἱ λοιποί ἀλλὰ γρηγορῶμεν καὶ νήφωμεν
⁷ οἱ γὰρ καθεύδοντες νυκτὸς καθεύδουσιν καὶ οἱ μεθυσκόμενοι νυκτὸς μεθύουσιν
⁸ ἡμεῖς δὲ ἡμέρας ὄντες νήφωμεν ἐνδυσάμενοι θώρακα πίστεως καὶ ἀγάπης καὶ περικεφαλαίαν ἐλπίδα σωτηρίας
⁹ ὅτι οὐκ ἔθετο ἡμᾶς ὁ θεὸς εἰς ὀργὴν ἀλλ᾽ εἰς περιποίησιν σωτηρίας διὰ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ
¹⁰ τοῦ ἀποθανόντος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἵνα εἴτε γρηγορῶμεν εἴτε καθεύδωμεν ἅμα σὺν αὐτῷ ζήσωμεν
¹¹ διὸ παρακαλεῖτε ἀλλήλους καὶ οἰκοδομεῖτε εἷς τὸν ἕνα καθὼς καὶ ποιεῖτε
¹² ἐρωτῶμεν δὲ ὑμᾶς ἀδελφοί εἰδέναι τοὺς κοπιῶντας ἐν ὑμῖν καὶ προϊσταμένους ὑμῶν ἐν κυρίῳ καὶ νουθετοῦντας ὑμᾶς
¹³ καὶ ἡγεῖσθαι αὐτοὺς ὑπερ ἐκπερισσοῦ ἐν ἀγάπῃ διὰ τὸ ἔργον αὐτῶν εἰρηνεύετε ἐν ἑαυτοῖς
¹⁴ παρακαλοῦμεν δὲ ὑμᾶς ἀδελφοί νουθετεῖτε τοὺς ἀτάκτους παραμυθεῖσθε τοὺς ὀλιγοψύχους ἀντέχεσθε τῶν ἀσθενῶν μακροθυμεῖτε πρὸς πάντας
¹⁵ ὁρᾶτε μή τις κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ τινι ἀποδῷ ἀλλὰ πάντοτε τὸ ἀγαθὸν διώκετε καὶ εἰς ἀλλήλους καὶ εἰς πάντας
¹⁶ πάντοτε χαίρετε
¹⁷ ἀδιαλείπτως προσεύχεσθε
¹⁸ ἐν παντὶ εὐχαριστεῖτε τοῦτο γὰρ θέλημα θεοῦ ἐν χριστῷ ἰησοῦ εἰς ὑμᾶς
¹⁹ τὸ πνεῦμα μὴ σβέννυτε
²⁰ προφητείας μὴ ἐξουθενεῖτε
²¹ πάντα δοκιμάζετε τὸ καλὸν κατέχετε
²² ἀπὸ παντὸς εἴδους πονηροῦ ἀπέχεσθε
²³ αὐτὸς 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
²⁴ πιστὸς ὁ καλῶν ὑμᾶς ὃς καὶ ποιήσει
²⁵ ἀδελφοί προσεύχεσθε περὶ ἡμῶν
²⁶ ἀσπάσασθε τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς πάντας ἐν φιλήματι ἁγίῳ
²⁷ ὀρκίζω ὑμᾶς τὸν κύριον ἀναγνωσθῆναι τὴν ἐπιστολὴν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἁγίοις ἀδελφοῖς
²⁸ ἡ χάρις τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν ἀμήν πρός φεσσαλονικείς πρώτη ἐγράφη ἀπό ἀθηνῶν

1Th 5 (Vulgate)

¹ De temporibus autem, et momentis, fratres, non indigetis ut scribamus vobis.
² Ipsi enim diligenter scitis quia dies Domini, sicut fur in nocte, ita veniet :
³ cum enim dixerint : Pax et securitas : tunc repentinus eis superveniet interitus, sicut dolor in utero habenti, et non effugient.
⁴ Vos autem, fratres, non estis in tenebris, ut vos dies illa tamquam fur comprehendat :
⁵ omnes enim vos filii lucis estis, et filii diei : non sumus noctis, neque tenebrarum.
⁶ Igitur non dormiamus sicut et ceteri, sed vigilemus, et sobrii simus.
⁷ Qui enim dormiunt, nocte dormiunt : et qui ebrii sunt, nocte ebrii sunt.
⁸ Nos autem, qui diei sumus, sobrii simus, induti loricam fidei et caritatis, et galeam spem salutis :
⁹ quoniam non posuit nos Deus in iram, sed in acquisitionem salutis per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum,
¹⁰ qui mortuus est pro nobis : ut sive vigilemus, sive dormiamus, simul cum illo vivamus.
¹¹ Propter quod consolamini invicem, et ædificate alterutrum, sicut et facitis.
¹² Rogamus autem vos, fratres, ut noveritis eos qui laborant inter vos, et præsunt vobis in Domino, et monent vos,
¹³ ut habeatis illos abundantius in caritate propter opus illorum : pacem habete cum eis.
¹⁴ Rogamus autem vos, fratres, corripite inquietos, consolamini pusillanimes, suscipite infirmos, patientes estote ad omnes.
¹⁵ Videte ne quis malum pro malo alicui reddat : sed semper quod bonum est sectamini in invicem, et in omnes.
¹⁶ Semper gaudete.
¹⁷ Sine intermissione orate.
¹⁸ In omnibus gratias agite : hæc est enim voluntas Dei in Christo Jesu in omnibus vobis.
¹⁹ Spiritum nolite extinguere.
²⁰ Prophetias nolite spernere.
²¹ Omnia autem probate : quod bonum est tenete.
²² Ab omni specie mala abstinete vos.
²³ Ipse autem Deus pacis sanctificet vos per omnia : ut integer spiritus vester, et anima, et corpus sine querela in adventu Domini nostri Jesu Christi servetur.
²⁴ Fidelis est, qui vocavit vos : qui etiam faciet.
²⁵ Fratres, orate pro nobis.
²⁶ Salutate fratres omnes in osculo sancto.
²⁷ Adjuro vos per Dominum ut legatur epistola hæc omnibus sanctis fratribus.
²⁸ Gratia Domini nostri Jesu Christi vobiscum. Amen.
