Постоянна готовност за Господния ден

(A)А за годините и времената, братя, няма нужда да ви се пише,

(B)защото вие добре знаете, че Господният ден ще дойде като крадец нощем.

(C)Когато казват: Мир и безопасност!, тогава ще ги постигне внезапна погибел като родилните болки на бременна жена, и никак няма да я избегнат.

(D)Но вие, братя, не сте в тъмнина, за да ви постигне онзи ден като крадец.

(E)Защото вие всички сте синове на светлината, синове на деня; не сме от нощта, нито от тъмнината.

(F)И така, да не спим, както другите, а да бъдем будни и трезвени.

(G)Защото които спят, нощем спят, и които се опиват, нощем се опиват;

(H)а ние, като сме от деня, нека бъдем трезвени и нека облечем за бронен нагръдник вярата и любовта и да сложим за шлем надеждата за спасение.

(I)Защото Бог ни е определил не за гняв, а да получим спасение чрез нашия Господ Исус Христос,

10 (J)Който умря за нас, така че, дали сме будни или спим, да живеем заедно с Него.

11 (K)Затова, насърчавайте се помежду си и се назидавайте един друг, както и правите.

Заключителни наставления и поздрави

12 (L)И ви молим, братя, да признавате тези, които се трудят между вас като ваши настойници в Господа и ваши увещатели,

13 (M)и да ги почитате твърде много с любов заради делото им. Живейте в мир помежду си.

14 (N)Молим ви още, братя, увещавайте онези, които постъпват нередно[a], насърчавайте малодушните, поддържайте слабите, бъдете търпеливи към всички.

15 (O)Внимавайте никой да не връща на никого зло за зло, а винаги търсете доброто един на друг и на всички.

16 (P)Винаги се радвайте.

17 (Q)Непрестанно се молете.

18 (R)За всичко благодарете, защото това е Божията воля за вас в Христос Исус.

19 (S)Духа не угасвайте.

20 (T)Пророчества не презирайте.

21 (U)Всичко изпитвайте, дръжте доброто.

22 (V)Въздържайте се от всякакво зло.

23 (W)А сам Бог на мира да ви освети напълно; и дано се запазят непокътнати духът, душата и тялото ви без порок до пришествието на нашия Господ Исус Христос.

24 (X)Верен е Онзи, Който ви призовава и ще извърши това.

25 (Y)Братя, молете се за нас.

26 (Z)Поздравете всички братя със свята целувка.

27 (AA)Заклевам ви в Господа да се прочете това послание на всички (святи) братя.

28 (AB)Благодатта на нашия Господ Исус Христос да бъде с вас.

Амин.

The Day of the Lord

Now concerning (A)the times and the seasons, brothers,[a] (B)you have no need to have anything written to you. For you yourselves are fully aware that (C)the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. While people are saying, “There is peace and security,” then (D)sudden destruction will come upon them (E)as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. But you (F)are not in darkness, brothers, for that day to surprise you like a thief. For you are all (G)children[b] of light, children of the day. We are not of the night or of the darkness. So then (H)let us not sleep, as others do, but let us (I)keep awake and (J)be sober. For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, (K)are drunk at night. But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, (L)having put on the breastplate of (M)faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. For God has not destined us for (N)wrath, but (O)to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 (P)who died for us so that whether we are awake or asleep we might live with him. 11 Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

Final Instructions and Benediction

12 We ask you, brothers, (Q)to respect those who labor among you and (R)are over you in the Lord and admonish you, 13 and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. (S)Be at peace among yourselves. 14 And we urge you, brothers, admonish (T)the idle,[c] (U)encourage the fainthearted, (V)help the weak, (W)be patient with them all. 15 See that (X)no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always (Y)seek to do good to one another and to everyone. 16 (Z)Rejoice always, 17 (AA)pray without ceasing, 18 (AB)give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 (AC)Do not quench the Spirit. 20 Do not despise (AD)prophecies, 21 but (AE)test everything; hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.

23 Now may (AF)the God of peace himself (AG)sanctify you completely, and may your (AH)whole (AI)spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at (AJ)the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 (AK)He who calls you is faithful; (AL)he will surely do it.

25 (AM)Brothers, pray for us.

26 (AN)Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.

27 I put you under oath before the Lord to have (AO)this letter read to all the brothers.

28 (AP)The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

The Day of the Lord

But concerning (A)the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. For you yourselves know perfectly that (B)the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then (C)sudden destruction comes upon them, (D)as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. (E)But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. You are all (F)sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. (G)Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but (H)let us watch and be [a]sober. For (I)those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk (J)are drunk at night. But let us who are of the day be sober, (K)putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. For (L)God did not appoint us to wrath, (M)but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 (N)who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him.

11 Therefore [b]comfort each other and [c]edify one another, just as you also are doing.

Various Exhortations

12 And we urge you, brethren, (O)to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and [d]admonish you, 13 and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. (P)Be at peace among yourselves.

14 Now we [e]exhort you, brethren, (Q)warn those who are [f]unruly, (R)comfort the fainthearted, (S)uphold the weak, (T)be patient with all. 15 (U)See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always (V)pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.

16 (W)Rejoice always, 17 (X)pray without ceasing, 18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.

19 (Y)Do not quench the Spirit. 20 (Z)Do not despise prophecies. 21 (AA)Test all things; (AB)hold fast what is good. 22 Abstain from every form of evil.

Blessing and Admonition

23 Now may (AC)the God of peace Himself (AD)sanctify[g] you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body (AE)be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 He who calls you is (AF)faithful, who also will (AG)do it.

25 Brethren, pray for us.

26 Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.

27 I charge you by the Lord that this [h]epistle be read to all the [i]holy brethren.

28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

The Day of the Lord

Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates(A) we do not need to write to you,(B) for you know very well that the day of the Lord(C) will come like a thief in the night.(D) While people are saying, “Peace and safety,”(E) destruction will come on them suddenly,(F) as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.(G)

But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness(H) so that this day should surprise you like a thief.(I) You are all children of the light(J) and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep,(K) but let us be awake(L) and sober.(M) For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.(N) But since we belong to the day,(O) let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate,(P) and the hope of salvation(Q) as a helmet.(R) For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath(S) but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.(T) 10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him.(U) 11 Therefore encourage one another(V) and build each other up,(W) just as in fact you are doing.

Final Instructions

12 Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to acknowledge those who work hard(X) among you, who care for you in the Lord(Y) and who admonish you. 13 Hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Live in peace with each other.(Z) 14 And we urge you, brothers and sisters, warn those who are idle(AA) and disruptive, encourage the disheartened, help the weak,(AB) be patient with everyone. 15 Make sure that nobody pays back wrong for wrong,(AC) but always strive to do what is good for each other(AD) and for everyone else.

16 Rejoice always,(AE) 17 pray continually,(AF) 18 give thanks in all circumstances;(AG) for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.

19 Do not quench the Spirit.(AH) 20 Do not treat prophecies(AI) with contempt 21 but test them all;(AJ) hold on to what is good,(AK) 22 reject every kind of evil.

23 May God himself, the God of peace,(AL) sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul(AM) and body be kept blameless(AN) at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.(AO) 24 The one who calls(AP) you is faithful,(AQ) and he will do it.(AR)

25 Brothers and sisters, pray for us.(AS) 26 Greet all God’s people with a holy kiss.(AT) 27 I charge you before the Lord to have this letter read to all the brothers and sisters.(AU)

28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.(AV)

Vær parat, men frygt ikke

Hvornår vil det ske? Det behøver vi vist ikke sige så meget om, kære venner. I ved udmærket godt, at Herrens dag kommer lige så uventet som en tyv om natten. Når folk siger: „Der er fred og ingen fare!” kommer ulykken pludselig over dem—som veer over en fødende kvinde—og der er ingen steder, de kan flygte hen. Men I, kære venner, lever jo ikke i mørket, og den dag vil derfor ikke overrumple jer som en tyv. I er jo alle sammen lysets børn og lever ikke under mørkets magt. Lad os derfor ikke gå rundt i en åndelig søvn, som mørkets børn gør, men altid være årvågne og besindige, for de, der sover åndeligt, lever i mørket, ligesom dem, der beruser sig. Men lad os, der hører lyset til, være årvågne og mådeholdne, iført troen og kærligheden som brynje og frelsesvisheden som hjelm.

Det er ikke Guds hensigt, at vi skal rammes af hans vrede, men at vi skal få det evige liv gennem Jesus Kristus, vores Herre. 10 Jesus døde for os, for at vi kan få det samme opstandelsesliv, som han har, hvad enten vi sover eller er vågne på det tidspunkt, han kommer.[a] 11 Altså bør I opmuntre og styrke hinanden, sådan som I allerede gør.

Afsluttende formaninger, ønsker og hilsener

12 Vi beder jer, venner, respekter dem, der har ansvar for at vejlede jer og være ledere i menigheden. 13 På grund af det arbejde, de udfører, bør I vise dem al mulig agtelse og kærlighed og leve i harmoni med hinanden.

14 Konfronter de genstridige,[b] giv de modløse nyt mod, styrk de svage og hav tålmodighed med alle. 15 Sørg for, at ingen gengælder ondt med ondt. Stræb altid efter at gøre godt mod hinanden i menigheden, ja, mod alle mennesker.

16 Vær altid glade, 17 bed uden at blive trætte, 18 og sig tak under alle forhold, for det er Guds vilje for jer, som tilhører Jesus Kristus.

19 Udsluk ikke Ånden, 20 og foragt ikke profetiske budskaber, 21 men vurder det hele. Hold fast ved det, som er godt, 22 og hold jer fra alt, hvad der er ondt.

23 Vi beder om, at fredens Gud vil gøre jer hellige og rene og bevare jeres ånd, sjæl og legeme, så I ikke kommer under anklage, den dag Jesus Kristus, vores Herre, kommer igen. 24 Han, der kalder jer, er trofast. Han vil føre jer igennem til målet.

25 Venner, bed også for os! 26 Hils alle vennerne med et helligt kindkys, 27 og lov mig at læse brevet op for alle de troende. 28 Jesu Kristi nåde være med jer!
