1 Thessalonians 5

New International Reader's Version NIRV

1 Brothers and sisters, we don't have to write to you about times and dates.

2 You know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

3 People will be saying that everything is peaceful and safe. Then suddenly they will be destroyed. It will happen like birth pains coming on a pregnant woman. None of the people will escape.

4 Brothers and sisters, you are not in darkness. So that day should not surprise you as a thief would.

5 All of you are children of the light. You are children of the day. We don't belong to the night. We don't belong to the darkness.

6 So let us not be like the others. They are asleep. Instead, let us be wide awake and in full control of ourselves.

7 Those who sleep, sleep at night. Those who get drunk, get drunk at night.

8 But we belong to the day. So let us control ourselves. Let us put the armor of faith and love on our chest. Let us put on the hope of salvation like a helmet.

9 God didn't choose us to receive his anger. He chose us to receive salvation because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done.

10 Jesus died for us. Some will be alive when he comes. Others will be dead. Either way, we will live together with him.

11 So cheer each other up with the hope you have. Build each other up. In fact, that's what you are doing.

12 Brothers and sisters, we ask you to have respect for the godly leaders who work hard among you. They have authority over you. They correct you.

13 Have a lot of respect for them. Love them because of what they do. Live in peace with each other.

14 Brothers and sisters, we are asking you to warn those who don't want to work. Cheer up those who are shy. Help those who are weak. Put up with everyone.

15 Make sure that nobody pays back one wrong act with another. Always try to be kind to each other and to everyone else.

16 Always be joyful.

17 Never stop praying.

18 Give thanks no matter what happens. God wants you to thank him because you believe in Christ Jesus.

19 Don't put out the Holy Spirit's fire.

20 Don't treat prophecies as if they amount to nothing.

21 Put everything to the test. Hold on to what is good.

22 Stay away from every kind of evil.

23 God is the God who gives peace. May he make you holy through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept free from blame. May you be without blame from now until our Lord Jesus Christ comes.

24 The One who has chosen you is faithful. He will do all these things.

25 Brothers and sisters, pray for us.

26 Greet all the believers with a holy kiss.

27 While the Lord is watching, here is what I command you. Have this letter read to all the believers.

28 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

The Latin Vulgate 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 dies ille tamquam fur conprehendat

5 omnes enim vos filii lucis estis et filii diei non sumus noctis neque tenebrarum

6 igitur non dormiamus sicut 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 adquisitionem salutis per Dominum nostrum Iesum Christum

10 qui mortuus est pro nobis ut sive vigilemus sive dormiamus simul cum illo vivamus

11 propter quod consolamini invicem et aedificate alterutrum sicut et facitis

12 rogamus autem vos fratres ut noveritis eos qui laborant inter vos et praesunt 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 pusillianimes suscipite infirmos patientes estote ad omnes

15 videte ne quis malum pro malo alicui reddat sed semper quod bonum est sectamini et in invicem et in omnes

16 semper gaudete

17 sine intermissione orate

18 in omnibus gratias agite haec enim voluntas Dei est in Christo Iesu 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 et integer spiritus vester et anima et corpus sine querella in adventu Domini nostri Iesu Christi servetur

24 fidelis est qui vocavit vos qui etiam faciet

25 fratres orate pro nobis

26 salutate fratres omnes in osculo sancto

27 adiuro vos per Dominum ut legatur epistula omnibus sanctis fratribus

28 gratia Domini nostri Iesu Christi vobiscum amen
