Phil 2:3 Let nothing be done through contention: neither by vain glory. But in humility, let each esteem others better than themselves: Phil 2:4 Each one not considering the things that are his own, but those that are other men's. Phil 2:5 For let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Phil 2:6 Who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: Phil 2:7 But emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and in habit found as a man. Phil 2:8 He humbled himself, becoming obedient unto death, even to the death of the cross. Phil 2:9 For which cause, God also hath exalted him and hath given him a name which is above all names: Phil 2:10 That in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth, and under the earth: Phil 2:11 And that every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is in the glory of God the Father. Phil 2:12 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, (as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only but much more now in my absence) with fear and trembling work out your salvation. Phil 2:13 For it is God who worketh in you, both to will and to accomplish, according to his good will.
Phil 2:14 And do ye all things without murmurings and hesitations: Phil 2:15 That you may be blameless and sincere children of God, without reproof, in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation: among whom you shine as lights in the world. Phil 2:16 Holding forth the word of life to my glory in the day of Christ: because I have not run in vain, nor laboured in vain. Phil 2:17 Yea, and if I be made a victim upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I rejoice and congratulate with you all. Phil 2:18 And for the selfsame thing, do you also rejoice and congratulate with me. Phil 2:19 And I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy unto you shortly, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know the things concerning you. Phil 2:20 For I have no man so of the same mind, who with sincere affection is solicitous for you. Phil 2:21 For all seek the things that are their own not the things that are Jesus Christ's. Phil 2:22 Now know ye the proof of him: that as a son with the father, so hath he served with me in the gospel. Phil 2:23 Him therefore I hope to send unto you immediately: so soon as I shall see how it will go with me.
Phil 2:24 And I trust in the Lord that I myself also shall come to you shortly. Phil 2:25 But I have thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow labourer and fellow soldier, but your apostle: and he that hath ministered to my wants. Phil 2:26 For indeed he longed after you all: and was sad, for that you had heard that he was sick. Phil 2:27 For indeed he was sick, nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him. And not only on him, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. Phil 2:28 Therefore, I sent him the more speedily: that seeing him again, you may rejoice, and I may be without sorrow. Phil 2:29 Receive him therefore with all joy in the Lord: and treat with honour such as he is. Phil 2:30 Because for the work of Christ he came to the point of death: delivering his life, that he might fulfil that which on your part was wanting towards my service. Phil 3:1 As to the rest, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not wearisome, but to you is necessary. Phil 3:2 Beware of dogs: beware of evil workers: beware of the concision. Phil 3:3 For we are the circumcision, who in spirit serve God and glory in Christ Jesus, not having confidence in the flesh.
Phil 3:4 Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other thinketh he may have confidence in the flesh, I more: Phil 3:5 Being circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the Hebrews. According to the law, a Pharisee: Phil 3:6 According to zeal, persecuting the church of God: According to the justice that is in the law, conversing without blame. Phil 3:7 But the things that were gain to me, the same I have counted loss for Christ. Phil 3:8 Furthermore, I count all things to be but loss for the excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ, my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them but as dung, that I may gain Christ. Phil 3:9 And may be found in him, not having my justice, which is of the law, but that which is of the faith of Christ Jesus, which is of God: justice in faith. Phil 3:10 That I may know him and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his sufferings: being made conformable to his death, Phil 3:11 If by any means I may attain to the resurrection which is from the dead. Phil 3:12 Not as though I had already attained, or were already perfect: but I follow after, if I may by any means apprehend, wherein I am also apprehended by Christ Jesus.
Phil 3:13 Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended. But one thing I do: Forgetting the things that are behind and stretching forth myself to those that are before, Phil 3:14 I press towards the mark, to the prize of the supernal vocation of God in Christ Jesus. Phil 3:15 Let us therefore, as many as are perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing you be otherwise minded, this also God will reveal to you, Phil 3:16 Nevertheless, whereunto we are come, that we be of the same mind, let us also continue in the same rule. Phil 3:17 Be ye followers of me, brethren: and observe them who walk so as you have our model. Phil 3:18 For many walk, of whom I have told you often (and now tell you weeping) that they are enemies of the cross of Christ: Phil 3:19 Whose end is destruction: whose God is their belly: and whose glory is in their shame: who mind earthly things. Phil 3:20 But our conversation is in heaven: from whence also we look for the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ, Phil 3:21 Who will reform the body of our lowness, made like to the body of his glory, according to the operation whereby also he is able to subdue all things unto himself.
Phil 4:1 Therefore my dearly beloved brethren and most desired, my joy and my crown: so stand fast in the Lord, my dearly beloved. Phil 4:2 I beg of Evodia and I beseech Syntyche to be of one mind in the Lord. Phil 4:3 And I entreat thee also, my sincere companion, help those women who have laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement and the rest of my fellow labourers, whose names are in the book of life. Phil 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always: again, I say, rejoice. Phil 4:5 Let your modesty be known to all men. The Lord is nigh. Phil 4:6 Be nothing solicitous: but in every thing, by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God. Phil 4:7 And the peace of God, which surpasseth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Phil 4:8 For the rest, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever modest, whatsoever just, whatsoever holy, whatsoever lovely, whatsoever of good fame, if there be any virtue, if any praise of discipline: think on these things. Phil 4:9 The things which you have both learned and received and heard and seen in me, these do ye: and the God of peace shall be with you.
Phil 4:10 Now I rejoice in the Lord exceedingly that now at length your thought for me hath flourished again, as you did also think; but you were busied. Phil 4:11 I speak not as it were for want. For I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, to be content therewith. Phil 4:12 I know both how to be brought low, and I know how to abound (every where and in all things I am instructed): both to be full and to be hungry: both to abound and to suffer need. Phil 4:13 I can do all things in him who strengtheneth me. Phil 4:14 Nevertheless, you have done well in communicating to my tribulation. Phil 4:15 And you also know, O Philippians, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia, no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but you only. Phil 4:16 For unto Thessalonica also you sent once and again for my use. Phil 4:17 Not that I seek the gift: but I seek the fruit that may abound to your account. Phil 4:18 But I have all and abound: I am filled, having received from Epaphroditus the things you sent, an odour of sweetness, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. Phil 4:19 And may my God supply all your want, according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Phil 4:20 Now to God and our Father be glory, world without end. Amen. Phil 4:21 Salute ye every saint in Christ Jesus.
Phil 4:22 The brethren who are with me salute you. All the saints salute you: especially they that are of Caesar's household. Phil 4:23 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Col 1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, by the will of God, and Timothy, a brother: Col 1:2 To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ Jesus who are at Colossa. Col 1:3 Grace be to you and peace, from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you. Col 1:4 Hearing your faith in Christ Jesus and the love which you have towards all the saints. Col 1:5 For the hope that is laid up for you in heaven, which you have heard in the word of the truth of the gospel, Col 1:6 Which is come unto you, as also it is in the whole world and bringeth forth fruit and groweth, even as it doth in you, since the day you heard and knew the grace of God in truth. Col 1:7 As you learned of Epaphras, our most beloved fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ Jesus; Col 1:8 Who also hath manifested your love in the spirit. Col 1:9 Therefore we also, from the day that we heard it, cease not to pray for you and to beg that you may be filled with the knowledge of his will, in all wisdom and spiritual understanding: Col 1:10 That you may walk worthy of God, in all things pleasing; being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God: Col 1:11 Strengthened with all might according to the power of his glory, in all patience and longsuffering with joy, Col 1:12 Giving thanks to God the Father, who hath made us worthy to be partakers of the lot of the saints in light: Col 1:13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness and hath translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love, Col 1:14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, the remission of sins: Col 1:15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: Col 1:16 For in him were all things created in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominations, or principalities, or powers. All things were created by him and in him. Col 1:17 And he is before all: and by him all things consist. Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in all things he may hold the primacy: Col 1:19 Because in him, it hath well pleased the Father that all fulness should dwell: Col 1:20 And through him to reconcile all things unto himself, making peace through the blood of his cross, both as to the things that are on earth and the things that are in heaven. Col 1:21 And you, whereas you were some time alienated and enemies in mind in evil works: Col 1:22 Yet now he hath reconciled in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unspotted and blameless before him: Col 1:23 If so ye continue in the faith, grounded and settled, and immoveable from the hope of the gospel which you have heard, which is preached in all the creation that is under heaven: whereof I Paul am made a minister. Col 1:24 Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you and fill up those things that are wanting of the sufferings of Christ, in my flesh, for his body, which is the church: Col 1:25 Whereof I am made a minister according to the dispensation of God, which is given me towards you, that I may fulfil the word of God: Col 1:26 The mystery which hath been hidden from ages and generations, but now is manifested to his saints, Col 1:27 To whom God would make known the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ, in you the hope of glory. Col 1:28 Whom we preach, admonishing every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. Col 1:29 Wherein also I labour, striving according to his working which he worketh in me in power. Col 2:1 For I would have you know what manner of care I have for you and for them that are at Laodicea and whosoever have not seen my face in the flesh: Col 2:2 That their hearts may be comforted, being instructed in charity and unto all riches of fulness of understanding, unto the knowledge of the mystery of God the Father and of Christ Jesus: Col 2:3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Col 2:4 Now this I say, that no man may deceive you by loftiness of words. Col 2:5 For though I be absent in body, yet in spirit I am with you, rejoicing, and beholding your order and the steadfastness of your faith which is in Christ. Col 2:6 As therefore you have received Jesus Christ the Lord, walk ye in him: Col 2:7 Rooted and built up in him and confirmed in the faith, as also you have learned: abounding in him in thanksgiving. Col 2:8 Beware lest any man cheat you by philosophy and vain deceit: according to the tradition of men according to the elements of the world and not according to Christ. Col 2:9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead corporeally. Col 2:10 And you are filled in him, who is the head of all principality and power. Col 2:11 In whom also you are circumcised with circumcision not made by hand in despoiling of the body of the flesh: but in the circumcision of Christ.
Col 2:12 Buried with him in baptism: in whom also you are risen again by the faith of the operation of God who hath raised him up from the dead. Col 2:13 And you, when you were dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, he hath quickened together with him, forgiving you all offences: Col 2:14 Blotting out the handwriting of the decree that was against us, which was contrary to us. And he hath taken the same out of the way, fastening it to the cross. Col 2:15 And despoiling the principalities and powers, he hath exposed them confidently in open shew, triumphing over them in himself. Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat or in drink or in respect of a festival day or of the new moon or of the sabbaths, Col 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come: but the body is of Christ. Col 2:18 Let no man seduce you, willing in humility and religion of angels, walking in the things which he hath not seen, in vain puffed up by the sense of his flesh: Col 2:19 And not holding the head, from which the whole body, by joints and bands, being supplied with nourishment and compacted, groweth into the increase of God. Col 2:20 If then you be dead with Christ from the elements of this world, why do you yet decree as though living in the world?
Col 2:21 Touch not: taste not: handle not. Col 2:22 Which all are unto destruction by the very use, according to the precepts and doctrines of men. Col 2:23 Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in superstition and humility, and not sparing the body; not in any honour to the filling of the flesh. Col 3:1 Therefore if you be risen with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God. Col 3:2 Mind the things that are above, not the things that are upon the earth. Col 3:3 For you are dead: and your life is hid with Christ in God. Col 3:4 When Christ shall appear, who is your life, then you also shall appear with him in glory. Col 3:5 Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, lust, evil concupiscence and covetousness, which is the service of idols. Col 3:6 For which things the wrath of God cometh upon the children of unbelief. Col 3:7 In which you also walked some time, when you lived in them. Col 3:8 But now put you also all away: anger, indignation, malice, blasphemy, filthy speech out of your mouth. Col 3:9 Lie not one to another: stripping yourselves of the old man with his deeds, Col 3:10 And putting on the new, him who is renewed unto knowledge, according to the image of him that created him. Col 3:11 Where there is neither Gentile nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian nor Scythian, bond nor free. But Christ is all and in all. Col 3:12 Put ye on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, the bowels of mercy, benignity, humility, modesty, patience: Col 3:13 Bearing with one another and forgiving one another, if any have a complaint against another. Even as the Lord hath forgiven you, so do you also. Col 3:14 But above all these things have charity, which is the bond of perfection. Col 3:15 And let the peace of Christ rejoice in your hearts, wherein also you are called in one body: and be ye thankful. Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you abundantly: in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, hymns and spiritual canticles, singing in grace in your hearts to God. Col 3:17 All whatsoever you do in word or in work, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. Col 3:18 Wives, be subject to your husbands, as it behoveth in the Lord. Col 3:19 Husbands, love your wives and be not bitter towards them.
Col 3:20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing to the Lord. Col 3:21 Fathers, provoke not your children to indignation, lest they be discouraged. Col 3:22 Servants, obey in all things your masters according to the flesh: not serving to the eye, as pleasing men: but in simplicity of heart, fearing God. Col 3:23 Whatsoever you do, do it from the heart, as to the Lord, and not to men: Col 3:24 Knowing that you shall receive of the Lord the reward of inheritance. Serve ye the Lord Christ. Col 3:25 For he that doth wrong shall receive for that which he hath done wrongfully. And there is no respect of persons with God. Col 4:1 Masters, do to your servants that which is just and equal: knowing that you also have a master in heaven. Col 4:2 Be instant in prayer: watching in it with thanksgiving. Col 4:3 Praying withal for us also, that God may open unto us a door of speech to speak the mystery of Christ (for which also I am bound): Col 4:4 That I may make it manifest as I ought to speak. Col 4:5 Walk with wisdom towards them that are without, redeeming the time. Col 4:6 Let your speech be always in grace seasoned with salt: that you may know how you ought to answer every man.
Col 4:7 All the things that concern me, Tychicus, our dearest brother and faithful minister and fellow servant in the Lord, will make known to you. Col 4:8 What I have sent to you for this same purpose, that he may know the things that concern you and comfort your hearts: Col 4:9 With Onesimus, a most beloved and faithful brother, who is one of you. All things that are done here, they shall make known to you. Col 4:10 Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, saluteth you: and Mark, the cousin german of Barnabas, touching whom you have received commandments. If he come unto you, receive him. Col 4:11 And Jesus that is called Justus: who are of the circumcision. These only are my helpers, in the kingdom of God: who have been a comfort to me. Col 4:12 Epaphras saluteth you, who is one of you, a servant of Christ Jesus, who is always solicitous for you in prayers, that you may stand perfect and full in all the will of God. Col 4:13 For I bear him testimony that he hath much labour for you and for them that are at Laodicea and them at Hierapolis. Col 4:14 Luke, the most dear physician, saluteth you: and Demas. Col 4:15 Salute the brethren who are at Laodicea: and Nymphas and the church that is in his house.
Col 4:16 And when this epistle shall have been read with you, cause that it be read also in the church of the Laodiceans: and that you read that which is of the Laodiceans. Col 4:17 And say to Archippus: Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it. Col 4:18 The salutation of Paul with my own hand. Be mindful of my bands. Grace be with you. Amen.
1Th 1:1 Paul and Sylvanus and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians: in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ. 1Th 1:2 Grace be to you and peace. We give thanks to God always for you all: making a remembrance of you in our prayers without ceasing, 1Th 1:3 Being mindful of the work of your faith and labour and charity: and of the enduring of the hope of our Lord Jesus Christ before God and our Father. 1Th 1:4 Knowing, brethren, beloved of God, your election: 1Th 1:5 For our gospel hath not been unto you in word only, but in power also: and in the Holy Ghost and in much fulness, as you know what manner of men we have been among you for your sakes. 1Th 1:6 And you became followers of us and of the Lord: receiving the word in much tribulation, with joy of the Holy Ghost: 1Th 1:7 So that you were made a pattern to all that believe in Macedonia and in Achaia. 1Th 1:8 For from you was spread abroad the word of the Lord not only in Macedonia and in Achaia but also in every place: your faith which is towards God, is gone forth, so that we need not to speak any thing. 1Th 1:9 For they themselves relate of us, what manner of entering in we had unto you: and how you turned to God from idols to serve the living and true God. 1Th 1:10 And to wait for his Son from heaven (whom he raised up from the dead), Jesus, who hath delivered us from the wrath to come. 1Th 2:1 For yourselves know, brethren, our entrance in unto you, that it was not in vain: 1Th 2:2 But having suffered many things before and been shamefully treated, (as you know) at Philippi, we had confidence in our God, to speak unto you the gospel of God in much carefulness. 1Th 2:3 For our exhortation was not of error, nor of uncleanness, nor in deceit. 1Th 2:4 But as we were approved by God that the gospel should be committed to us: even so we speak, not as pleasing men but God, who proveth our hearts. 1Th 2:5 For neither have we used at any time the speech of flattery, as you know: nor taken an occasion of covetousness (God is witness): 1Th 2:6 Nor sought we glory of men, neither of you, nor of others. 1Th 2:7 Whereas we might have been burdensome to you, as the apostles of Christ: but we became little ones in the midst of you, as if a nurse should cherish her children: 1Th 2:8 So desirous of you, we would gladly impart unto you not only the gospel of God but also our own souls: because you were become most dear unto us. 1Th 2:9 For you remember, brethren, our labour and toil: working night and day, lest we should be chargeable to any of you, we preached among you the gospel of God. 1Th 2:10 You are witnesses, and God also, how holily and justly and without blame we have been to you that have believed: 1Th 2:11 As you know in what manner, entreating and comforting you (as a father doth his children), 1Th 2:12 We testified to every one of you that you would walk worthy of God, who hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. 1Th 2:13 Therefore, we also give thanks to God without ceasing: because, that when you had received of us the word of the hearing of God, you received it not as the word of men, but (as it is indeed) the word of God, who worketh in you that have believed. 1Th 2:14 For you, brethren, are become followers of the churches of God which are in Judea, in Christ Jesus: for you also have suffered the same things from your own countrymen, even as they have from the Jews: 1Th 2:15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and the prophets, and have persecuted us, and please not God, and are adversaries to all men; 1Th 2:16 Prohibiting us to speak to the Gentiles, that they may be saved, to fill up their sins always: for the wrath of God is come upon them to the end. 1Th 2:17 But we, brethren, being taken away from you for a short time, in sight, not in heart, have hastened the more abundantly to see your face with great desire.
1Th 2:18 For we would have come unto you, I Paul indeed, once and again: but Satan hath hindered us. 1Th 2:19 For what is our hope or joy or crown of glory? Are not you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? 1Th 2:20 For you are our glory and joy. 1Th 3:1 For which cause, forbearing no longer, we thought it good to remain at Athens alone. 1Th 3:2 And we sent Timothy, our brother and the minister of God in the gospel of Christ, to confirm you and exhort you concerning your faith: 1Th 3:3 That no man should be moved in these tribulations: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto. 1Th 3:4 For even when we were with you, we foretold you that we should suffer tribulations: as also it is come to pass, and you know. 1Th 3:5 For this cause also, I, forbearing no longer, sent to know your faith: lest perhaps he that tempteth should have tempted you: and our labour should be made vain. 1Th 3:6 But now when Timothy came to us from you and related to us your faith and charity, and that you have a good remembrance of us always, desiring to see us as we also to see you: 1Th 3:7 Therefore we were comforted, brethren, in you, in all our necessity and tribulation, by your faith. 1Th 3:8 Because now we live, if you stand in the Lord.
1Th 3:9 For what thanks can we return to God for you, in all the joy wherewith we rejoice for you before our God, 1Th 3:10 Night and day more abundantly praying that we may see your face and may accomplish those things that are wanting to your faith? 1Th 3:11 Now God himself and our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you. 1Th 3:12 And may the Lord multiply you and make you abound in charity towards one another and towards all men: as we do also towards you, 1Th 3:13 To confirm your hearts without blame, in holiness, before God and our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, with all his saints. Amen. 1Th 4:1 For the rest therefore, brethren, pray and beseech you in the Lord Jesus that, as you have received from us, how you ought to walk and to please God, so also you would walk, that you may abound the more. 1Th 4:2 For you know what precepts I have given to you by the Lord Jesus. 1Th 4:3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: That you should abstain from fornication: 1Th 4:4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour, 1Th 4:5 Not in the passion of lust, like the Gentiles that know not God: 1Th 4:6 And that no man overreach nor circumvent his brother in business: because the Lord is the avenger of all these things, as we have told you before and have testified. 1Th 4:7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto sanctification. 1Th 4:8 Therefore, he that despiseth these things, despiseth not man, but God, who also hath given his holy Spirit in us. 1Th 4:9 But as touching the charity of brotherhood, we have no need to write to you: for yourselves have learned of God to love one another. 1Th 4:10 For indeed you do it towards all the brethren in all Macedonia. But we entreat you, brethren, that you abound more: 1Th 4:11 And that you use your endeavour to be quiet: and that you do your own business and work with your own hands, as we commanded you: and that you walk honestly towards them that are without: and that you want nothing of any man's. 1Th 4:12 And we will not have you ignorant brethren, concerning them that are asleep, that you be not sorrowful, even as others who have no hope. 1Th 4:13 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again: even so them who have slept through Jesus, will God bring with him.
1Th 4:14 For this we say unto you in the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them who have slept. 1Th 4:15 For the Lord himself shall come down from heaven with commandment and with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God: and the dead who are in Christ shall rise first. 1Th 4:16 Then we who are alive, who are left, shall be taken up together with them in the clouds to meet Christ, into the air: and so shall we be always with the Lord. 1Th 4:17 Wherefore, comfort ye one another with these words. 1Th 5:1 But of the times and moments, brethren, you need not, that we should write to you: 1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord shall so come as a thief in the night. 1Th 5:3 For when they shall say: Peace and security; then shall sudden destruction come upon them, as the pains upon her that is with child, and they shall not escape. 1Th 5:4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you as a thief. 1Th 5:5 For all you are the children of light and children of the day: we are not of the night nor of darkness. 1Th 5:6 Therefore, let us not sleep, as others do: but let us watch, and be sober.
1Th 5:7 For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that are drunk, are drunk in the night. 1Th 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, having on the breast plate of faith and charity and, for a helmet, the hope of salvation. 1Th 5:9 For God hath not appointed us unto wrath: but unto the purchasing of salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 1Th 5:10 Who died for us: that, whether we watch or sleep, we may live together with him. 1Th 5:11 For which cause comfort one another and edify one another, as you also do. 1Th 5:12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them who labour among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you; 1Th 5:13 That you esteem them more abundantly in charity, for their work's sake. Have peace with them. 1Th 5:14 And we beseech you, brethren, rebuke the unquiet: comfort the feeble minded: support the weak: be patient towards all men. 1Th 5:15 See that none render evil for evil to any man: but ever follow that which is good towards each other and towards all men. 1Th 5:16 Always rejoice. 1Th 5:17 Pray without ceasing. 1Th 5:18 In all things give thanks for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you all. 1Th 5:19 Extinguish not the spirit.
1Th 5:20 Despise not prophecies. 1Th 5:21 But prove all things: hold fast that which is good. 1Th 5:22 From all appearance of evil refrain yourselves. 1Th 5:23 And may the God of peace himself sanctify you in all things: that your whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved blameless in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1Th 5:24 He is faithful who hath called you, who also will do it. 1Th 5:25 Brethren, pray for us. 1Th 5:26 Salute all the brethren with a holy kiss. 1Th 5:27 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren. 1Th 5:28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
