1But of the times and the seasons, brethren, you^2f have no need that I write unto you. 2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord - Kurios so comes as a thief in the night. 3For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction comes upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4But you^2f, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5You^2f are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6Therefore let us not sleep, as [do] others; but let us watch and be sober. 7For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 8But 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. 9For God-The Father has not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah], 10Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 11For what reason comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also you^2f do.

12And we beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord - Kurios, and admonish you; 13And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. [And] be at peace among yourselves. 14Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all [men]. 15See that none render evil for evil unto any [man]; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all [men]. 16Rejoice evermore. 17Pray without ceasing. 18In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God-The Father in Moshiach [Messiah] Yeshua [God is Salvation]concerning you. 19Quench not the Spirit [Ruach]. 20Despise not prophesyings. 21but Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22Abstain from all appearance of evil.

23And the very God-The Father of peace sanctify (make holy; set apart for God’s use) you wholly; and [I pray God-The Father] your whole Spirit [Ruach] and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah]. 24Faithful [is] he that calls you, who also will do [it].

25Brethren, pray for us.

26Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss. 27I charge you by the Lord - Kurios that this Epistle (important or formal letter) be read unto all the holy brethren.

28The grace of our Lord - Kurios [he to whom a person belongs] Yeshua [God is Salvation] Moshiach [Messiah] [be] with you. Amen. [[[The first [Epistle (important or formal letter)] to the Thessalonians [victory of falsity] was written from Athens [uncertainty].]]]
