| 1st-Thessalonians 5:2 | For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. | For you yourselves have the knowledge that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. |
| 1st-Thessalonians 5:3 | For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. | When they say, There is peace and no danger, then sudden destruction will come on them, as birth-pains on a woman with child; and they will not be able to get away from it. |
| 1st-Thessalonians 5:4 | But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. | But you, my brothers, are not in the dark, for that day to overtake you like a thief: |
| 1st-Thessalonians 5:5 | Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. | For you are all sons of light and of the day: we are not of the night or of the dark. |
| 1st-Thessalonians 5:6 | Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. | So then, let us not take our rest as the others do, but let us be self-controlled and awake. |
| 1st-Thessalonians 5:7 | For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. | For those who are sleeping do so in the night; and those who are the worse for drink are so in the night; |
| 1st-Thessalonians 5:8 | But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. | But let us, who are of the day, be serious, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and on our heads, the hope of salvation. |
| 1st-Thessalonians 5:9 | For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, | For God's purpose for us is not wrath, but salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| 1st-Thessalonians 5:10 | Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. | Who was put to death for us, so that, awake or sleeping, we may have a part in his life. |
| 1st-Thessalonians 5:11 | Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. | So then, go on comforting and building up one another, as you have been doing. |
| 1st-Thessalonians 5:12 | And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; | But we make this request to you, my brothers: give attention to those who are working among you, who are over you in the Lord to keep order among you; |
| 1st-Thessalonians 5:13 | And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves. | And have a high opinion of them in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves. |
| 1st-Thessalonians 5:14 | Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. | And our desire is that you will keep control over those whose lives are not well ordered, giving comfort to the feeble-hearted, supporting those with little strength, and putting up with much from all. |
| 1st-Thessalonians 5:15 | See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. | Let no one give evil for evil; but ever go after what is good, for one another and for all. |
| 1st-Thessalonians 5:16 | Rejoice evermore. | Have joy at all times. |
| 1st-Thessalonians 5:17 | Pray without ceasing. | Keep on with your prayers. |
| 1st-Thessalonians 5:18 | In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. | In everything give praise: for this is the purpose of God in Christ Jesus for you. |
| 1st-Thessalonians 5:19 | Quench not the Spirit. | Do not put out the light of the Spirit; |
| 1st-Thessalonians 5:20 | Despise not prophesyings. | Do not make little of the words of the prophets; |
| 1st-Thessalonians 5:21 | Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. | Let all things be tested; keep to what is good; |
| 1st-Thessalonians 5:22 | Abstain from all appearance of evil. | Keep from every form of evil. |

| 1st-Thessalonians 5:24 | Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. | God, by whom you have been marked out in his purpose, is unchanging and will make it complete. |
| 1st-Thessalonians 5:25 | Brethren, pray for us. | Brothers, keep us in mind in your prayers. |
