| New English Bible | 1 Thessalonians:5 | Novum Testamentum Graece (UBS.Ed.26) | ||
| 1 | About dates and times, my friends, we need not write to you, | Περὶ δὲ τῶν χρόνων καὶ τῶν καιρῶν, ἀδελφοί, οὐ χρείαν ἐχετε ὑμῖν γράφεσθαι, | ||
| 2 | for you know perfectly well that the Day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night. | αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἀκριβῶς οἰδατε ὅτι ἡμέρα κυρίου ὡς κλέπτης ἐν νυκτὶ οὑτως ἐρχεται. | ||
| 3 | While they are talking of peace and security, all at once calamity is upon them, sudden as the pangs that come upon a woman with child; and there will be no escape. | ὁταν λέγωσιν, Εἰρήνη καὶ ἀσφάλεια, τότε αἰφνίδιος αὐτοῖς ἐφίσταται ὀλεθρος ὡσπερ ἡ ὠδὶν τῇ ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσῃ, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐκφύγωσιν. | ||
| 4 | But you, my friends, are not in the dark, that the day should overtake you like a thief. You are all children 5 of light, children of day. We do not belong to night or darkness, | ὑμεῖς δέ, ἀδελφοί, οὐκ ἐστὲ ἐν σκότει, ἵνα ἡ ἡμέρα ὑμᾶς ὡς κλέπτης καταλάβῃ, | ||
| 6 | and we must not sleep like the rest, but keep awake and sober. | ἀρα οὖν μὴ καθεύδωμεν ὡς οἱ λοιποί, ἀλλὰ γρηγορῶμεν καὶ νήφωμεν. | ||
| 7 | Sleepers sleep at night, and drunkards are drunk at night, | οἱ γὰρ καθεύδοντες νυκτὸς καθεύδουσιν, καὶ οἱ μεθυσκόμενοι νυκτὸς μεθύουσιν· | ||
| 8 | but we, who belong to daylight, must keep sober, armed with faith and love for breastplate, and the hope of salvation for helmet. | - put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. 1Th.5.8 | Is.59.17 | Wis.5.18 | ἡμεῖς δὲ ἡμέρας ὄντες νήφωμεν, ἐνδυσάμενοι θώρακα πίστεως καὶ ἀγάπης καὶ περικεφαλαίαν ἐλπίδα σωτηρίας· | |
| 9 | For God has not destined us to the terrors of judgement, but to the full attainment of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. | ὁτι οὐκ ἐθετο ἡμᾶς ὁ θεὸς εἰς ὀργὴν ἀλλὰ εἰς περιποίησιν σωτηρίας διὰ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ, | ||
| 10 | He died for us so that we, awake or asleep, might live in company with him. | τοῦ ἀποθανόντος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν ἵνα εἰτε γρηγορῶμεν εἰτε καθεύδωμεν ἀμα σὺν αὐτῷ ζήσωμεν. | ||
| 11 | Therefore hearten one another, fortify one another- as indeed you do. | Διὸ παρακαλεῖτε ἀλλήλους καὶ οἰκοδομεῖτε εἷς τὸν ἑνα, καθὼς καὶ ποιεῖτε. | ||
| 12 | WE BEG YOU, BROTHERS, to acknowledge those who are working so hard among you, and in the Lord's fellowship are your leaders and counsellors. | Final Exhortations and Greetings 1Th.5.12-28 | Ἐρωτῶμεν δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, εἰδέναι τοὺς κοπιῶντας ἐν ὑμῖν καὶ προϊσταμένους ὑμῶν ἐν κυρίῳ καὶ νουθετοῦντας ὑμᾶς, | |
| 13 | Hold them in the highest possible esteem and affection for the work they do. | καὶ ἡγεῖσθαι αὐτοὺς ὑπερεκπερισσοῦ ἐν ἀγάπῃ διὰ τὸ ἐργον αὐτῶν. εἰρηνεύετε ἐν ἑαυτοῖς. | ||
| 14 | You must live at peace among yourselves. And we would urge you, brothers, to admonish the careless, encourage the faint-hearted, support the weak, and to be very patient with them all. | παρακαλοῦμεν δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, νουθετεῖτε τοὺς ἀτάκτους, παραμυθεῖσθε τοὺς ὀλιγοψύχους, ἀντέχεσθε τῶν ἀσθενῶν, μακροθυμεῖτε πρὸς πάντας. | ||
| 15 | See to it that no one pays back wrong for wrong, but always aim at doing the best you can for each other and for all men. | ὁρᾶτε μή τις κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ τινι ἀποδῷ, ἀλλὰ πάντοτε τὸ ἀγαθὸν διώκετε εἰς ἀλλήλους καὶ εἰς πάντας. | ||
| 16 | Be always joyful; | Πάντοτε χαίρετε, | ||
| 17 | pray continually; | ἀδιαλείπτως προσεύχεσθε, | ||
| 18 | give thanks whatever happens; for this is what God in Christ wills for you. | ἐν παντὶ εὐχαριστεῖτε· τοῦτο γὰρ θέλημα θεοῦ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ εἰς ὑμᾶς. | ||
| 19 | Do not stifle inspiration, | τὸ Πνεῦμα μὴ σβέννυτε, | ||
| 20 | and do not despise prophetic utterances, | προφητείας μὴ ἐξουθενεῖτε· | ||
| 21 | but bring them all to the test and then keep what is good in them | πάντα δὲ δοκιμάζετε, τὸ καλὸν κατέχετε, | ||
| 22 | and avoid the bad of whatever kind. | ἀπὸ παντὸς εἰδους πονηροῦ ἀπέχεσθε. | ||
| 23 | May God himself, the God of peace, make you holy in every part, and keep you sound in spirit, soul, and body, without fault when our Lord Jesus Christ comes. | Αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ θεὸς τῆς εἰρήνης ἀγιάσαι ὑμᾶς ὁλοτελεῖς, καὶ ὁλόκληρον ὑμῶν τὸ Πνεῦμα καὶ ἡ ψυχὴ καὶ τὸ σῶμα ἀμέμπτως ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τηρη θείη. | ||
| 24 | He who calls you is to be trusted; he will do it. | πιστὸς ὁ καλῶν ὑμᾶς, ὃς καὶ ποιήσει. | ||
| 25 | Brothers, pray for us also. | Ἀδελφοί, προσεύχεσθε περὶ ἡμῶν. | ||
| 26 | Greet all our brothers with the kiss of peace. | Ἀσπάσασθε τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς πάντας ἐν φιλήματι ἀγίῳ. | ||
| 27 | I adjure you by the Lord to have this letter read to the whole brotherhood. | Ἐνορκίζω ὑμᾶς τὸν κύριον ἀναγνωσθῆναι τὴν ἐπιστολὴν πᾶσιν τοῖς ἀδελφοῖς. | ||
| 28 | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you! | Ἡ χάρις τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μεθ' ὑμῶν. | ||
