15 See that t no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always u seek to do good to one another and to everyone. 14 And we urge you, brothers, admonish p the idle, 3 q encourage the fainthearted, r help the weak, s be patient with them all. 11 Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.ġ2 We ask you, brothers, m to respect those who labor among you and n are over you in the Lord and admonish you, 13 and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. 9 For God has not destined us for j wrath, but k to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 l who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. 8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, h having put on the breastplate of i faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, g are drunk at night. 6 So then d let us not sleep, as others do, but let us e keep awake and f be sober. We are not of the night or of the darkness. 5 For you are all c children 2 of light, children of the day. 4 But you b are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. 3 While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then z sudden destruction will come upon them a as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.
2 For you yourselves are fully aware that y the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 5 Now concerning w the times and the seasons, brothers, 1 x you have no need to have anything written to you.
