GNT

1 περὶ δὲ τῶν χρόνων καὶ τῶν καιρῶν, ἀδελφοί, οὐ χρείαν ἔχετε ὑμῖν γράφεσθαι,

2 αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἀκριβῶς οἴδατε ὅτι ἡμέρα κυρίου ὡς κλέπτης ἐν νυκτὶ οὕτως ἔρχεται.

3 ὅταν 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 γὰρ ὑμεῖς υἱοὶ φωτός ἐστε καὶ υἱοὶ ἡμέρας. οὐκ ἐσμὲν νυκτὸς οὐδὲ σκότους·

6 ἄρα οὗν μὴ καθεύδωμεν ὡς 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 ἀλλὰ εἰς περιποίησιν σωτηρίας διὰ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ,

10 τοῦ ἀποθανόντος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἵνα εἴτε γρηγορῶμεν εἴτε καθεύδωμεν ἅμα σὺν αὐτῶ 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 ὑπερεκπερισσοῦ 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 ἀποδῶ, 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 χριστῶ ἰησοῦ εἰς ὑμᾶς.

19 τὸ πνεῦμα μὴ σβέννυτε,

20 προφητείας μὴ ἐξουθενεῖτε·

21 πάντα δὲ 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 [καὶ] περὶ ἡμῶν.

26 ἀσπάσασθε τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς πάντας ἐν φιλήματι ἁγίῳ.

27 ἐνορκίζω ὑμᾶς τὸν κύριον ἀναγνωσθῆναι τὴν ἐπιστολὴν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς.

28 ἡ χάρις τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν.

1  But¹¹⁶¹ of⁴⁰¹² the³⁵⁸⁸ times⁵⁵⁵⁰ and²⁵³² the³⁵⁸⁸ seasons,²⁵⁴⁰ brethren,⁸⁰ ye have²¹⁹² no³⁷⁵⁶ need⁵⁵³² that I write¹¹²⁵ unto you.⁵²¹³

2  For¹⁰⁶³ yourselves⁸⁴⁶ know¹⁴⁹² perfectly¹⁹⁹ that³⁷⁵⁴ the³⁵⁸⁸ day²²⁵⁰ of the Lord²⁹⁶² so³⁷⁷⁹ cometh²⁰⁶⁴ as⁵⁶¹³ a thief²⁸¹² in¹⁷²² the night.³⁵⁷¹

3  For¹⁰⁶³ when³⁷⁵² they shall say,³⁰⁰⁴ Peace¹⁵¹⁵ and²⁵³² safety;⁸⁰³ then⁵¹¹⁹ sudden¹⁶⁰ destruction³⁶³⁹ cometh upon²¹⁸⁶ them,⁸⁴⁶ as⁵⁶¹⁸ travail⁵⁶⁰⁴ upon a woman with child;^{2192 1722 1064} and²⁵³² they shall not³³⁶⁴ escape.¹⁶²⁸

4  But¹¹⁶¹ ye,⁵²¹⁰ brethren,⁸⁰ are²⁰⁷⁵ not³⁷⁵⁶ in¹⁷²² darkness,⁴⁶⁵⁵ that²⁴⁴³ that day²²⁵⁰ should overtake²⁶³⁸ you⁵²⁰⁹ as⁵⁶¹³ a thief.²⁸¹²

5  Ye⁵²¹⁰ are²⁰⁷⁵ all³⁹⁵⁶ the children⁵²⁰⁷ of light,⁵⁴⁵⁷ and²⁵³² the children⁵²⁰⁷ of the day:²²⁵⁰ we are²⁰⁷⁰ not³⁷⁵⁶ of the night,³⁵⁷¹ nor³⁷⁶¹ of darkness.⁴⁶⁵⁵

6  Therefore^{686 3767} let us not³³⁶¹ sleep,²⁵¹⁸ as⁵⁶¹³ do²⁵³² others;³⁰⁶² but²³⁵ let us watch¹¹²⁷ and²⁵³² be sober.³⁵²⁵

7  For¹⁰⁶³ they that sleep²⁵¹⁸ sleep²⁵¹⁸ in the night;³⁵⁷¹ and²⁵³² they that be drunken³¹⁸² are drunken³¹⁸⁴ in the night.³⁵⁷¹

8  But¹¹⁶¹ let us,²²⁴⁹ who are⁵⁶⁰⁷ of the day,²²⁵⁰ be sober,³⁵²⁵ putting on¹⁷⁴⁶ the breastplate²³⁸² of faith⁴¹⁰² and²⁵³² love;²⁶ and²⁵³² for a helmet,⁴⁰³⁰ the hope¹⁶⁸⁰ of salvation.⁴⁹⁹¹

9  For³⁷⁵⁴ God²³¹⁶ hath not³⁷⁵⁶ appointed⁵⁰⁸⁷ us²²⁴⁸ to¹⁵¹⁹ wrath,³⁷⁰⁹ but²³⁵ to obtain^{1519 4047} salvation⁴⁹⁹¹ by¹²²³ our²²⁵⁷ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ,⁵⁵⁴⁷

10  Who died⁵⁹⁹ for⁵²²⁸ us,²²⁵⁷ that,²⁴⁴³ whether¹⁵³⁵ we wake¹¹²⁷ or¹⁵³⁵ sleep,²⁵¹⁸ we should live²¹⁹⁸ together²⁶⁰ with⁴⁸⁶² him.⁸⁴⁶

11  Wherefore¹³⁵² comfort³⁸⁷⁰ yourselves together,²⁴⁰ and²⁵³² edify³⁶¹⁸ one another,^{1520 1520} even as²⁵³¹ also²⁵³² ye do.⁴¹⁶⁰

12  And¹¹⁶¹ we beseech²⁰⁶⁵ you,⁵²⁰⁹ brethren,⁸⁰ to know¹⁴⁹² them which labor²⁸⁷² among¹⁷²² you,⁵²¹³ and²⁵³² are over⁴²⁹¹ you⁵²¹⁶ in¹⁷²² the Lord,²⁹⁶² and²⁵³² admonish³⁵⁶⁰ you;⁵²⁰⁹

13  And²⁵³² to esteem²²³³ them⁸⁴⁶ very highly^{5228 1537 4053} in¹⁷²² love²⁶ for their work's sake.^{1223 846 2041} And be at peace¹⁵¹⁴ among¹⁷²² yourselves.¹⁴³⁸

14  Now¹¹⁶¹ we exhort³⁸⁷⁰ you,⁵²⁰⁹ brethren,⁸⁰ warn³⁵⁶⁰ them that are unruly,⁸¹³ comfort³⁸⁸⁸ the³⁵⁸⁸ feebleminded,³⁶⁴² support⁴⁷² the³⁵⁸⁸ weak,⁷⁷² be patient³¹¹⁴ toward⁴³¹⁴ all³⁹⁵⁶ men.

15  See³⁷⁰⁸ that none^{5100 3361} render⁵⁹¹ evil²⁵⁵⁶ for⁴⁷³ evil²⁵⁵⁶ unto any⁵¹⁰⁰ man; but²³⁵ ever³⁸⁴² follow¹³⁷⁷ that which is good,¹⁸ both²⁵³² among¹⁵¹⁹ yourselves,²⁴⁰ and²⁵³² to¹⁵¹⁹ all³⁹⁵⁶ men.

16  Rejoice⁵⁴⁶³ evermore.³⁸⁴²

17  Pray⁴³³⁶ without ceasing.⁸⁹

18  In¹⁷²² every thing³⁹⁵⁶ give thanks:²¹⁶⁸ for¹⁰⁶³ this⁵¹²⁴ is the will²³⁰⁷ of God²³¹⁶ in¹⁷²² Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ Jesus²⁴²⁴ concerning¹⁵¹⁹ you.⁵²⁰⁹

19  Quench⁴⁵⁷⁰ not³³⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ Spirit.⁴¹⁵¹

20  Despise¹⁸⁴⁸ not³³⁶¹ prophesyings.⁴³⁹⁴

21  Prove¹³⁸¹ all things;³⁹⁵⁶ hold fast²⁷²² that which is good.²⁵⁷⁰

22  Abstain⁵⁶⁷ from⁵⁷⁵ all³⁹⁵⁶ appearance¹⁴⁹¹ of evil.⁴¹⁹⁰

23  And¹¹⁶¹ the³⁵⁸⁸ very⁸⁴⁶ God²³¹⁶ of peace¹⁵¹⁵ sanctify³⁷ you⁵²⁰⁹ wholly;³⁶⁵¹ and²⁵³² I pray God your⁵²¹⁶ whole³⁶⁴⁸ spirit⁴¹⁵¹ and²⁵³² soul⁵⁵⁹⁰ and²⁵³² body⁴⁹⁸³ be preserved⁵⁰⁸³ blameless²⁷⁴ unto¹⁷²² the³⁵⁸⁸ coming³⁹⁵² of our²²⁵⁷ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ.⁵⁵⁴⁷

24  Faithful⁴¹⁰³ is he that calleth²⁵⁶⁴ you,⁵²⁰⁹ who³⁷³⁹ also²⁵³² will do⁴¹⁶⁰ it.

25  Brethren,⁸⁰ pray⁴³³⁶ for⁴⁰¹² us.²²⁵⁷

26  Greet⁷⁸² all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ brethren⁸⁰ with¹⁷²² a holy⁴⁰ kiss.⁵³⁷⁰

27  I charge³⁷²⁶ you⁵²⁰⁹ by the³⁵⁸⁸ Lord²⁹⁶² that this epistle¹⁹⁹² be read³¹⁴ unto all³⁹⁵⁶ the³⁵⁸⁸ holy⁴⁰ brethren.⁸⁰

28  The³⁵⁸⁸ grace⁵⁴⁸⁵ of our²²⁵⁷ Lord²⁹⁶² Jesus²⁴²⁴ Christ⁵⁵⁴⁷ be with³³²⁶ you.⁵²¹⁶ Amen.²⁸¹

Vul

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 die 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.
