1Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you,1Περὶ δὲ τῶν χρόνων καὶ τῶν καιρῶν ἀδελφοί οὐ χρείαν ἔχετε ὑμῖν γράφεσθαι
2for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.2αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἀκριβῶς οἴδατε ὅτι ἡμέρα Κυρίου ὡς κλέπτης ἐν νυκτὶ οὕτως ἔρχεται
3While people are saying, "Peace and safety," destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.3ὅταν λέγωσιν Εἰρήνη καὶ ἀσφάλεια τότε αἰφνίδιος αὐτοῖς ἐφίσταται* ὄλεθρος ὥσπερ ὠδὶν τῇ ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσῃ καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐκφύγωσιν
4But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness so that this day should surprise you like a thief.4Ὑμεῖς δέ ἀδελφοί οὐκ ἐστὲ ἐν σκότει ἵνα ἡμέρα ὑμᾶς ὡς κλέπτης καταλάβῃ
5You are all children of the light and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness.5πάντες γὰρ ὑμεῖς υἱοὶ φωτός ἐστε καὶ υἱοὶ ἡμέρας Οὐκ ἐσμὲν νυκτὸς οὐδὲ σκότους
6So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep, but let us be awake and sober.6ἄρα οὖν μὴ καθεύδωμεν ὡς οἱ λοιποί ἀλλὰ γρηγορῶμεν καὶ νήφωμεν
7For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.7οἱ γὰρ καθεύδοντες νυκτὸς καθεύδουσιν καὶ οἱ μεθυσκόμενοι νυκτὸς μεθύουσιν
8But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.8ἡμεῖς δὲ ἡμέρας ὄντες νήφωμεν ἐνδυσάμενοι θώρακα πίστεως καὶ ἀγάπης καὶ περικεφαλαίαν ἐλπίδα σωτηρίας
9For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.9ὅτι οὐκ ἔθετο ἡμᾶς Θεὸς εἰς ὀργὴν ἀλλὰ εἰς περιποίησιν σωτηρίας διὰ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ
10He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.10τοῦ ἀποθανόντος περὶ ἡμῶν ἵνα εἴτε γρηγορῶμεν εἴτε καθεύδωμεν ἅμα σὺν αὐτῷ ζήσωμεν
11Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.11Διὸ παρακαλεῖτε ἀλλήλους καὶ οἰκοδομεῖτε εἷς τὸν ἕνα καθὼς καὶ ποιεῖτε
12Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard among you, who care for you in the Lord and who admonish you.12Ἐρωτῶμεν δὲ ὑμᾶς ἀδελφοί εἰδέναι τοὺς κοπιῶντας ἐν ὑμῖν καὶ προϊσταμένους ὑμῶν ἐν Κυρίῳ καὶ νουθετοῦντας ὑμᾶς
13Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other.13καὶ ἡγεῖσθαι αὐτοὺς ὑπερεκπερισσοῦ* ἐν ἀγάπῃ διὰ τὸ ἔργον αὐτῶν εἰρηνεύετε ἐν ἑαυτοῖς
14And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak, be patient with everyone.14Παρακαλοῦμεν δὲ ὑμᾶς ἀδελφοί νουθετεῖτε τοὺς ἀτάκτους παραμυθεῖσθε τοὺς ὀλιγοψύχους ἀντέχεσθε τῶν ἀσθενῶν μακροθυμεῖτε πρὸς πάντας
15Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong, but always strive to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.15Ὁρᾶτε μή τις κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ τινι ἀποδῷ ἀλλὰ πάντοτε τὸ ἀγαθὸν διώκετε [καὶ] εἰς ἀλλήλους καὶ εἰς πάντας
16Rejoice always,16Πάντοτε χαίρετε
17pray continually,17ἀδιαλείπτως προσεύχεσθε
18give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.18ἐν παντὶ εὐχαριστεῖτε τοῦτο γὰρ θέλημα Θεοῦ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ εἰς ὑμᾶς
19Do not quench the Spirit.19Τὸ Πνεῦμα μὴ σβέννυτε
20Do not treat prophecies with contempt20προφητείας μὴ ἐξουθενεῖτε
21but test them all; hold on to what is good,21πάντα δὲ δοκιμάζετε τὸ καλὸν κατέχετε
22reject every kind of evil.22ἀπὸ παντὸς εἴδους πονηροῦ ἀπέχεσθε
23May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.23Αὐτὸς δὲ Θεὸς τῆς εἰρήνης ἁγιάσαι ὑμᾶς ὁλοτελεῖς καὶ ὁλόκληρον ὑμῶν τὸ πνεῦμα καὶ ψυχὴ καὶ τὸ σῶμα ἀμέμπτως ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τηρηθείη
24The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.24πιστὸς καλῶν ὑμᾶς ὃς καὶ ποιήσει
25Brothers and sisters, pray for us.25Ἀδελφοί προσεύχεσθε [καὶ] περὶ ἡμῶν
26Greet all God's people with a holy kiss.26Ἀσπάσασθε τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς πάντας ἐν φιλήματι ἁγίῳ
27I charge you before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers and sisters.27Ἐνορκίζω ὑμᾶς τὸν Κύριον ἀναγνωσθῆναι τὴν ἐπιστολὴν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς
28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.28 χάρις τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μεθ’ ὑμῶν ⧼Ἀμήν⧽
