00:00.000 --> 00:00.900
Chapter five.

00:02.500 --> 00:06.680
But of the times and the seasons,
brethren, ye have no need that I write

00:06.680 --> 00:07.140
unto you.

00:07.660 --> 00:12.480
For yourselves know perfectly that the day
of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the

00:12.480 --> 00:12.760
night.

00:13.220 --> 00:18.200
For when they shall say, Peace and safety,
then sudden destruction cometh upon them,

00:18.400 --> 00:22.420
as travail upon a woman with child,
and they shall not escape.

00:23.120 --> 00:27.660
But ye, brethren, are not in darkness,
that that day should overtake you as a

00:27.660 --> 00:27.920
thief.

00:27.920 --> 00:31.980
Ye are all the children of light,
and the children of the day.

00:32.640 --> 00:35.080
We are not of the night, nor of darkness.

00:36.320 --> 00:41.040
Therefore let us not sleep, as do others,
but let us watch and be sober.

00:41.520 --> 00:45.960
For they that sleep, sleep in the night,
and they that be drunken, are drunken in

00:45.960 --> 00:46.300
the night.

00:46.760 --> 00:51.060
But let us, who are of the day,
be sober, putting on the breastplate of

00:51.060 --> 00:54.960
faith and love, and for an helmet,
the hope of salvation.

00:55.720 --> 01:00.640
For God hath not appointed us to wrath,
but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus

01:00.640 --> 01:05.440
Christ, who died for us, that whether we
wake or sleep, we should live together

01:05.440 --> 01:05.900
with him.

01:06.580 --> 01:11.620
Wherefore comfort yourselves together,
and edify one another, even as also ye do.

01:12.720 --> 01:17.500
And we beseech you, brethren, to know them
which labor among you, and are over you in

01:17.500 --> 01:22.720
the Lord, and admonish you, and to esteem
them very highly in love for their work's

01:22.720 --> 01:24.940
sake, and be at peace among yourselves.

01:25.620 --> 01:29.060
Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them
that are unruly.

01:29.600 --> 01:34.500
Comfort the feeble-minded, support the
weak, be patient toward all men.

01:35.220 --> 01:40.500
See that none render evil for evil unto
any man, but ever follow that which is

01:40.500 --> 01:43.180
good, both among yourselves and to all
men.

01:44.180 --> 01:45.420
Rejoice evermore.

01:46.140 --> 01:47.260
Pray without ceasing.

01:47.720 --> 01:53.000
In everything give thanks, for this is the
will of God in Christ Jesus concerning

01:53.000 --> 01:53.260
you.

01:53.260 --> 01:57.380
Quench not the spirit, despise not
prophesying's.

01:57.840 --> 01:59.040
Prove all things.

01:59.500 --> 02:04.780
Hold fast that which is good, abstain from
all appearance of evil, and the very God

02:04.780 --> 02:06.700
of peace sanctify you wholly.

02:07.100 --> 02:12.620
And I pray God your whole spirit and soul
and body be preserved blameless unto the

02:12.620 --> 02:14.240
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

02:15.020 --> 02:17.980
Faithful is he that calleth you who also
will do it.

02:18.780 --> 02:20.660
Brethren, pray for us.

02:21.200 --> 02:23.840
Greet all the brethren with unholy kiss.

02:24.660 --> 02:29.420
I charge you by the Lord that this epistle
be read unto all the holy brethren.

02:30.060 --> 02:33.600
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with
you.

02:34.140 --> 02:34.440
Amen.

02:36.380 --> 02:39.820
The first epistle to the Thessalonians was
written from Athens.
