帖撒罗尼迦前书 5
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)
主的日子
5 弟兄们，关于这些时候和日期，你们不需要我写什么给你们了。 2 因为你们自己明确地知道，主的日子[a]来临，就像夜里的贼来临那样。 3 当人们正说“和平”、“安全”的时候，毁灭那时就突然临到他们，就像孕妇的临产阵痛那样，他们绝不能逃脱。 4 不过弟兄们，你们不是在黑暗里，以致那日子像贼一样抓住你们。 5 因为你们都是光明的儿女，白昼的儿女。我们不属于黑夜，也不属于黑暗。 6 由此可见，我们不要像其他人那样睡着了，而要警醒、谨慎。 7 因为睡觉的人是在夜里睡，醉酒的人是在夜里醉。 8 但我们既然属于白昼，就让我们谨慎，以信与爱做为护胸甲穿上，以救恩的盼望做为头盔戴上。 9 因为神不是预定我们到震怒里面，而是预定我们藉着我们的主耶稣基督获得救恩。 10 基督替我们死，为要使我们无论是醒着还是睡着，都与他一同活着。 11 因此，你们要彼此鼓励，互相造就，就像你们现在所做的那样。
劝勉与祝福
12 弟兄们，我们请求你们：要敬重那些在你们中间劳苦做工、在主里带领[b]你们、劝诫你们的人， 13 因着他们的工作，要在爱中格外地看重他们。你们要彼此和睦。 14 弟兄们，我们劝你们：要劝诫懒散的人[c]，安慰胆怯的人，扶助软弱的人，对所有的人都要恒久忍耐。 15 你们要注意，谁都不要以恶报恶；相反，无论是彼此之间，还是对待众人，总要追求美善。
16 要常常欢喜，
17 不住地祷告，
18 凡事感谢；
因为这是神在基督耶稣里对你们的旨意。
19 不要消灭圣灵[d]的感动[e]，
20 不要轻视做先知传道[f]，
21 却要凡事分辨，
要持守美善，
22 连一切恶的样式都要远避。
23 愿赐平安的神亲自使你们完全分别为圣。愿你们的灵、魂、体，在我们的主耶稣基督来临的时候，全然得蒙保守、无可指责。 24 召唤你们的那一位是信实的，他将成就这事。 25 弟兄们，请为我们祷告。 26 你们要用圣洁的亲吻礼问候所有的弟兄。 27 我藉着主吩咐你们，要把这封信读给所有[g]的弟兄听。 28 愿我们主耶稣基督的恩典与你们同在！[h]

The Day of the Lord
5 About the times and the seasons:(A) Brothers, you do not need anything to be written to you. 2 For you yourselves know very well that the Day of the Lord(B) will come just like a thief(C) in the night. 3 When they say, “Peace and security,” then sudden destruction(D) comes on them, like labor pains come on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4 But you, brothers, are not in the dark, for this day to overtake you like a thief.(E) 5 For you are all sons of light and sons of the day. We do not belong to the night or the darkness.(F) 6 So then, we must not sleep, like the rest, but we must stay awake and be serious. 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. 8 But since we belong to the day, we must be serious(G) and put the armor(H) of faith and love on our chests, and put on a helmet(I) of the hope of salvation. 9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord(J) Jesus Christ,(K) 10 who died for us,(L) so that whether we are awake or asleep,(M) we will live together with Him.(N) 11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up as you are already doing.
Exhortations and Blessings
12 Now we ask you, brothers, to give recognition(O) to those who labor among you and lead you in the Lord and admonish you, 13 and to regard them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace(P) among yourselves. 14 And we exhort you, brothers:(Q) warn those who are irresponsible,[a] comfort the discouraged, help the weak, be patient(R) with everyone. 15 See to it that no one repays evil for evil(S) to anyone,(T) but always pursue what is good for one another and for all.(U)
16 Rejoice(V) always!
17 Pray constantly.
18 Give thanks in everything,
for this is God’s will(W) for you in Christ Jesus.
19 Don’t stifle the Spirit.
20 Don’t despise prophecies,
21 but test all things.(X)
Hold on to what is good.
22 Stay away(Y) from every kind of evil.
23 Now may the God of peace(Z) Himself sanctify you completely. And may your spirit,(AA) soul, and body be kept sound and blameless for the coming(AB) of our Lord(AC) Jesus Christ.(AD) 24 He who calls(AE) you(AF) is faithful, who also will do it. 25 Brothers, pray for us also. 26 Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss. 27 I charge you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the brothers.(AG) 28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

1 Thessalonians 5
King James Version
5 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
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.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
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.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
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.
16 Rejoice evermore.
17 Pray without ceasing.
18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19 Quench not the Spirit.
20 Despise not prophesyings.
21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
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.
24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
25 Brethren, pray for us.
26 Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.
27 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
