| 5:1 | But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. |
| 5:2 | For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. |
| 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. |
| 5:4 | But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. |
| 5:5 | Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. |
| 5:6 | Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. |
| 5:7 | For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. |
| 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. |
| 5:8 | 但我們既然屬乎白晝、就應當謹守、把信和愛當作護心鏡遮胸．把得救的盼望當作頭盔戴上。 |
| 5:8 | 但我们既然属乎白昼，就应当谨守，把信和爱当作护心镜遮胸。把得救的盼望当作头盔戴上。 |
| rom:13:12 | The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. |
| rom:13:13 | Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying. |
| 1ts:5:5 | Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. |
| eph:6:23 | Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
| eph:6:14 | Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; |
| isa:59:17 | For he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and an helmet of salvation upon his head; and he put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a cloak. |
| eph:6:17 | And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: |
| COBL | |
| 5:9 | For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| 5:10 | Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. |
| 5:11 | Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. |
| 5:12 | And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; |
| 5:13 | And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves. |
| 5:14 | Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. |
| 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. |
| 5:16 | Rejoice evermore. |
| 5:17 | Pray without ceasing. |
| 5:18 | In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. |
| 5:19 | Quench not the Spirit. |
| 5:20 | Despise not prophesyings. |
| 5:21 | Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. |
| 5:22 | Abstain from all appearance of evil. |
| 5:23 | And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
| 5:24 | Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. |
| 5:25 | Brethren, pray for us. |
| 5:26 | Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss. |
| 5:27 | I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren. |
| 5:28 | The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. |
