- 1. Bvt of the times and seasons, brethren, yee haue no neede that I write vnto you.
- 2. For ye your selues knowe perfectly, that the day of the Lorde shall come, euen as a thiefe in the night.
- 3. For when they shall say, Peace, and safetie, then shall come vpon them sudden destruction, as the trauaile vpon a woman with childe, and they shall not escape,
- 4. But ye, brethren, are not in darkenes, that that day shal come on you, as it were a thiefe.
- 5. Yee are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, neither of darkenesse.
- 6. Therefore let vs not sleepe as do other, but let vs watch and be sober.
- 7. For they that sleepe, sleepe in the night, and they that be drunken, are drunken in the night.
- 8. But let vs which are of the day, be sober, putting on the brest plate of faith and loue, and of the hope of saluation for an helmet.
- 9. For God hath not appointed vs vnto wrath, but to obtaine saluation by the meanes of our Lord Iesus Christ,
- 10. Which died for vs, that whether we wake or sleepe, we should liue together with him.
- 11. Wherefore exhort one another, and edifie one another, euen as ye doe.
- 12. Nowe we beseeche you, brethren, that ye acknowledge them, which labour among you, and are ouer you in the Lorde, & admonish you,
- 13. That yee haue them in singular loue for their workes sake. Bee at peace among your selues.
- 14. We desire you, brethren, admonish them that are out of order: comfort ye feeble minded: beare with the weake: be pacient toward all men.
- 15. See that none recompense euil for euil vnto any man: but euer folow that which is good, both toward your selues, and toward all men.
- 16. Reioyce euermore.
- 17. Pray continually.
- 18. In all thinges giue thankes: for this is the will of God in Christ Iesus toward you.
- 19. Quench not the Spirit.
- 20. Despise not prophecying.
- 21. Try all things, & keepe that which is good.
- 22. Absteine from all appearance of euill.
- 23. Nowe the very God of peace sanctifie you throughout: and I pray God that your whole spirite and soule and body, may be kept blamelesse vnto the comming of our Lord Iesus Christ.
