¹Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, to the assembly of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:

KJVPaul^G3972, and^G2532 Silvanus^G4610, and^G2532 Timotheus^G5095, unto the church^G1577 of the Thessalonians^G2331 in^G1722 God^G2316 our^G2257 Father^G3962 and^G2532 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547:

² Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

KJVGrace^G5485 unto you^G5213, and^G2532 peace^G1515, from^G575 God^G2316 our^G2257 Father^G3962 and^G2532 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

³ We are bound to always give thanks to God for you, brothers, even as it is appropriate, because your faith grows exceedingly, and the love of each and every one of you toward one another abounds,

KJVWe are bound^G3784^(G5719) to thank^G2168^(G5721) God^G2316 always^G3842 for^G4012 you^G5216, brethren^G80, as^G2531 it is^G2076^(G5748) meet^G514, because^G3754 that your^G5216 faith^G4102 groweth exceedingly^G5232^(G5719), and^G2532 the charity^G26 of every^G1538 one^G1520 of you^G5216 all^G3956 toward^G1519 each other^G240 aboundeth^G4121^(G5719);

⁴ so that we ourselves boast about you in the assemblies of God for your perseverance and faith in all your persecutions and in the afflictions which you endure.

KJVSo^G5620 that we^G2248 ourselves^G846 glory^G2744^(G5738) in^G1722 you^G5213 in^G1722 the churches^G1577 of God^G2316 for^G5228 your^G5216 patience^G5281 and^G2532 faith^G4102 in^G1722 all^G3956 your^G5216 persecutions^G1375 and^G2532 tribulations^G2347 that^G3739 ye endure^G430^(G5736):

⁵ This is an obvious sign of the righteous judgment of God, to the end that you may be counted worthy of God’s Kingdom, for which you also suffer.

KJVWhich is a manifest token^G1730 of the righteous^G1342 judgment^G2920 of God^G2316, that^G1519 ye^G5209 may be counted worthy^G2661^(G5683) of the kingdom^G932 of God^G2316, for^G5228 which^G3739 ye^G3958 also^G2532 suffer^G3958^(G5719):

⁶ For it is a righteous thing with God to repay affliction to those who afflict you,

KJVSeeing^G1512 it is a righteous thing^G1342 with^G3844 God^G2316 to recompense^G467^(G5629) tribulation^G2347 to them that trouble^G2346^(G5723) you^G5209;

⁷ and to give relief to you who are afflicted with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with his mighty angels in flaming fire,

KJVAnd^G2532 to you^G5213 who are troubled^G2346^(G5746) rest^G425 with^G3326 us^G2257, when^G1722 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 shall be revealed^G602 from^G575 heaven^G3772 with^G3326 his^G846 mighty^G1411 angels^G32,

⁸ punishing those who don’t know God, and to those who don’t obey the Good News of our Lord Jesus,

KJVIn^G1722 flaming^G5395 fire^G4442 taking^G1325^(G5723) vengeance^G1557 on them that know^G1492^(G5761) not^G3361 God^G2316, and^G2532 that obey^G5219^(G5723) not^G3361 the gospel^G2098 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547:

⁹ who will pay the penalty: eternal destruction from the face of the Lord and from the glory of his might,

KJVWho^G3748 shall be punished^G1349^G5099^(G5692) with everlasting^G166 destruction^G3639 from^G575 the presence^G4383 of the Lord^G2962, and^G2532 from^G575 the glory^G1391 of his^G846 power^G2479;

¹⁰ when he comes in that day to be glorified in his saints and to be admired among all those who have believed, because our testimony to you was believed.

KJVWhen^G3752 he shall come^G2064^(G5632) to be glorified^G1740^(G5683) in^G1722 his^G846 saints^G40, and^G2532 to be admired^G2296^(G5683) in^G1722 all^G3956 them that believe^G4100^(G5723)(because^G3754 our^G2257 testimony^G3142 among^G1909 you^G5209 was believed^G4100^(G5681)) in^G1722 that^G1565 day^G2250.

¹¹ To this end we also pray always for you that our God may count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire of goodness and work of faith with power,

KJVWherefore^G1519^G3739 also^G2532 we pray^G4336^(G5736) always^G3842 for^G4012 you^G5216, that^G2443 our^G2257 God^G2316 would count^G515 you^G5209 worthy^G515^(G5661) of this calling^G2821, and^G2532 fulfil^G4137^(G5661) all^G3956 the good pleasure^G2107 of his goodness^G19, and^G2532 the work^G2041 of faith^G4102 with^G1722 power^G1411:

¹² that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

KJVThat^G3704 the name^G3686 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547 may be glorified^G1740^(G5686) in^G1722 you^G5213, and^G2532 ye^G5210 in^G1722 him^G846, according to^G2596 the grace^G5485 of our^G2257 God^G2316 and^G2532 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.

WEB·1 Thessalonians 5

¹But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.

KJVBut^G1161 of^G4012 the times^G5550 and^G2532 the seasons^G2540, brethren^G80, ye have^G2192^(G5719) no^G3756 need^G5532 that I write^G1125^(G5745) unto you^G5213.

² For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.

KJVFor^G1063 yourselves^G846 know^G1492^(G5758) perfectly^G199 that^G3754 the day^G2250 of the Lord^G2962 so^G3779 cometh^G2064^(G5736) as^G5613 a thief^G2812 in^G1722 the night^G3571.

³ For when they are saying, “Peace and safety,” then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman. Then they will in no way escape.

KJVFor^G1063 when^G3752 they shall say^G3004^(G5725), Peace^G1515 and^G2532 safety^G803; then^G5119 sudden^G160 destruction^G3639 cometh upon^G2186^(G5731) them^G846, as^G5618 travail^G5604 upon^G1722 a woman with child^G1064^G2192^(G5723); and^G2532 they shall^G1628 not^G3364 escape^G1628^(G5632).

⁴ But you, brothers, aren’t in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.

KJVBut^G1161 ye^G5210, brethren^G80, are^G2075^(G5748) not^G3756 in^G1722 darkness^G4655, that^G2443 that day^G2250 should overtake^G2638^(G5632) you^G5209 as^G5613 a thief^G2812.

⁵ You are all children of light and children of the day. We don’t belong to the night, nor to darkness,

KJVYe^G5210 are^G2075^(G5748) all^G3956 the children^G5207 of light^G5457, and^G2532 the children^G5207 of the day^G2250: we are^G2070^(G5748) not^G3756 of the night^G3571, nor^G3761 of darkness^G4655.

⁶ so then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober.

KJVTherefore^G686^G3767 let us^G2518 not^G3361 sleep^G2518^(G5725), as^G5613^G2532 do others^G3062; but^G235 let us watch^G1127^(G5725) and^G2532 be sober^G3525^(G5725).

⁷ For those who sleep, sleep in the night; and those who are drunk are drunk in the night.

KJVFor^G1063 they that sleep^G2518^(G5723) sleep^G2518^(G5719) in the night^G3571; and^G2532 they that be drunken^G3182^(G5746) are drunken^G3184^(G5719) in the night^G3571.

⁸ But since we belong to the day, let’s be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

KJVBut^G1161 let^G3525 us^G2249, who are^G5607^(G5752) of the day^G2250, be sober^G3525^(G5725), putting on^G1746^(G5671) the breastplate^G2382 of faith^G4102 and^G2532 love^G26; and^G2532 for an helmet^G4030, the hope^G1680 of salvation^G4991.

⁹ For God didn’t appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

KJVFor^G3754 God^G2316 hath^G5087 not^G3756 appointed^G5087^(G5639) us^G2248 to^G1519 wrath^G3709, but^G235 to^G1519 obtain^G4047 salvation^G4991 by^G1223 our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547,

¹⁰ who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

KJVWho^G3588 died^G599^(G5631) for^G5228 us^G2257, that^G2443, whether^G1535 we wake^G1127^(G5725) or^G1535 sleep^G2518^(G5725), we should live^G2198^(G5661) together^G260 with^G4862 him^G846.

¹¹ Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.

KJVWherefore^G1352 comfort^G3870^(G5720) yourselves together^G240, and^G2532 edify^G3618^(G5720) one^G1520 another^G1520, even^G2531 as also^G2532 ye do^G4160^(G5719).

¹² But we beg you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,

KJVAnd^G1161 we beseech^G2065^(G5719) you^G5209, brethren^G80, to know^G1492^(G5760) them which^G3588 labour^G2872^(G5723) among^G1722 you^G5213, and^G2532 are over^G4291^(G5734) you^G5216 in^G1722 the Lord^G2962, and^G2532 admonish^G3560^(G5723) you^G5209;

¹³ and to respect and honor them in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

KJVAnd^G2532 to esteem^G2233^(G5738) them^G846 very^G5228 highly^G1537^G4053 in^G1722 love^G26 for^G1223 their^G846 work's sake^G2041. And be at peace^G1514^(G5720) among^G1722 yourselves^G1438.

¹⁴ We exhort you, brothers: Admonish the disorderly; encourage the faint-hearted; support the weak; be patient toward all.

KJVNow^G1161 we exhort^G3870^(G5719) you^G5209, brethren^G80, warn^G3560^(G5720) them that are unruly^G813, comfort^G3888^(G5737) the feebleminded^G3642, support^G472^(G5737) the weak^G772, be patient^G3114^(G5720) toward^G4314 all^G3956 men.

¹⁵ See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good for one another and for all.

KJVSee^G3708^(G5720) that none^G3361^G5100 render^G591^(G5632) evil^G2556 for^G473 evil^G2556 unto any^G5100 man; but^G235 ever^G3842 follow^G1377^(G5720) that which^G3588 is good^G18, both^G2532 among^G1519 yourselves^G240, and^G2532 to^G1519 all^G3956 men.

¹⁹ Don’t quench the Spirit.

²² Abstain from every form of evil.

KJVAbstain^G567^(G5732) from^G575 all^G3956 appearance^G1491 of evil^G4190.

KJVAnd^G1161 the very^G846 God^G2316 of peace^G1515 sanctify^G37^(G5659) you^G5209 wholly^G3651; and^G2532 I pray God your^G5216 whole^G3648 spirit^G4151 and^G2532 soul^G5590 and^G2532 body^G4983 be preserved^G5083^(G5684) blameless^G274 unto^G1722 the coming^G3952 of our^G2257 Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424 Christ^G5547.
