1 Tesalonicenses 5
La Biblia de las Américas
Preparados para el día del Señor
5 Ahora bien, hermanos, con respecto a los tiempos(A) y a las épocas, no tenéis necesidad de que se os escriba(B) nada. 2 Pues vosotros mismos sabéis perfectamente que el día del Señor vendrá[a](C) así como un ladrón en la noche(D); 3 que cuando estén diciendo: Paz y seguridad(E), entonces la destrucción[b] vendrá sobre ellos repentinamente[c](F), como dolores de parto a una mujer que está encinta(G), y no escaparán. 4 Mas vosotros, hermanos, no estáis en tinieblas(H), para que el día os sorprenda como ladrón[d](I); 5 porque todos vosotros sois hijos de la luz(J) e hijos del día. No somos de la noche ni de las tinieblas(K). 6 Por tanto, no durmamos(L) como los demás(M), sino estemos alerta y seamos sobrios[e](N). 7 Porque los que duermen, de noche duermen, y los que se emborrachan, de noche se emborrachan(O). 8 Pero puesto que nosotros somos del día(P), seamos sobrios[f](Q), habiéndonos puesto la coraza(R) de la fe y del amor(S), y por yelmo(T) la esperanza de la salvación(U). 9 Porque no nos ha destinado[g] Dios para ira(V), sino para obtener salvación por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo(W), 10 que murió por nosotros(X), para que ya sea que estemos despiertos o dormidos, vivamos juntamente con Él. 11 Por tanto, alentaos[h] los unos a los otros, y edificaos el uno al otro(Y), tal como lo estáis haciendo.
Deberes prácticos de la vida cristiana
12 Pero os rogamos hermanos, que reconozcáis[i](Z) a los que con diligencia trabajan entre vosotros(AA), y os dirigen[j](AB) en el Señor y os instruyen[k], 13 y que los tengáis en muy alta estima con amor, por causa de su trabajo. Vivid en paz los unos con los otros(AC). 14 Y os exhortamos, hermanos, a que amonestéis a los indisciplinados[l](AD), animéis a los desalentados(AE), sostengáis a los débiles(AF) y seáis pacientes(AG) con todos. 15 Mirad que ninguno devuelva a otro mal por mal(AH), sino procurad siempre lo bueno los unos para con los otros(AI), y para con todos. 16 Estad siempre gozosos(AJ); 17 orad sin cesar(AK); 18 dad gracias en todo(AL), porque esta es la voluntad de Dios para vosotros en Cristo Jesús. 19 No apaguéis el Espíritu(AM); 20 no menospreciéis las profecías[m](AN). 21 Antes bien, examinadlo todo cuidadosamente(AO), retened lo bueno(AP); 22 absteneos de toda forma[n] de mal.
Pablo ora por la santificación de los tesalonicenses
23 Y que el mismo(AQ) Dios de paz(AR) os santifique por completo[o]; y que todo vuestro ser, espíritu, alma y cuerpo(AS), sea preservado irreprensible(AT) para[p] la venida de nuestro Señor Jesucristo(AU). 24 Fiel(AV) es el que os llama(AW), el cual también lo hará.
Saludos y bendición final
25 Hermanos, orad por nosotros[q](AX).
26 Saludad a todos los hermanos con beso santo(AY). 27 Os encargo solemnemente[r] por el Señor que se lea esta carta(AZ) a todos los hermanos(BA).
28 La gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo(BB) sea con vosotros.

5 Pero acerca de los tiempos y de las ocasiones, no tenéis necesidad, hermanos, de que yo os escriba. 2 Porque vosotros sabéis perfectamente que el día del Señor vendrá así como ladrón en la noche;(A) 3 que cuando digan: Paz y seguridad, entonces vendrá sobre ellos destrucción repentina, como los dolores a la mujer encinta, y no escaparán. 4 Mas vosotros, hermanos, no estáis en tinieblas, para que aquel día os sorprenda como ladrón. 5 Porque todos vosotros sois hijos de luz e hijos del día; no somos de la noche ni de las tinieblas. 6 Por tanto, no durmamos como los demás, sino velemos y seamos sobrios. 7 Pues los que duermen, de noche duermen, y los que se embriagan, de noche se embriagan. 8 Pero nosotros, que somos del día, seamos sobrios, habiéndonos vestido con la coraza de fe y de amor, y con la esperanza de salvación como yelmo.(B) 9 Porque no nos ha puesto Dios para ira, sino para alcanzar salvación por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, 10 quien murió por nosotros para que ya sea que velemos, o que durmamos, vivamos juntamente con él. 11 Por lo cual, animaos unos a otros, y edificaos unos a otros, así como lo hacéis.
Pablo exhorta a los hermanos
12 Os rogamos, hermanos, que reconozcáis a los que trabajan entre vosotros, y os presiden en el Señor, y os amonestan; 13 y que los tengáis en mucha estima y amor por causa de su obra. Tened paz entre vosotros. 14 También os rogamos, hermanos, que amonestéis a los ociosos, que alentéis a los de poco ánimo, que sostengáis a los débiles, que seáis pacientes para con todos. 15 Mirad que ninguno pague a otro mal por mal; antes seguid siempre lo bueno unos para con otros, y para con todos. 16 Estad siempre gozosos. 17 Orad sin cesar. 18 Dad gracias en todo, porque esta es la voluntad de Dios para con vosotros en Cristo Jesús. 19 No apaguéis al Espíritu. 20 No menospreciéis las profecías. 21 Examinadlo todo; retened lo bueno. 22 Absteneos de toda especie de mal.
23 Y el mismo Dios de paz os santifique por completo; y todo vuestro ser, espíritu, alma y cuerpo, sea guardado irreprensible para la venida de nuestro Señor Jesucristo. 24 Fiel es el que os llama, el cual también lo hará.
Salutaciones y bendición final
25 Hermanos, orad por nosotros.
26 Saludad a todos los hermanos con ósculo santo.
27 Os conjuro por el Señor, que esta carta se lea a todos los santos hermanos.
28 La gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo sea con vosotros. Amén.

New International Version
The Day of the Lord
5 Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates(A) we do not need to write to you,(B) 2 for you know very well that the day of the Lord(C) will come like a thief in the night.(D) 3 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)
4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in darkness(H) so that this day should surprise you like a thief.(I) 5 You are all children of the light(J) and children of the day. We do not belong to the night or to the darkness. 6 So then, let us not be like others, who are asleep,(K) but let us be awake(L) and sober.(M) 7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.(N) 8 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) 9 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)
1 Thessalonians 5
New King James Version
The Day of the Lord
5 But concerning (A)the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. 2 For you yourselves know perfectly that (B)the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 3 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. 4 (E)But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 5 You are all (F)sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. 6 (G)Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but (H)let us watch and be [a]sober. 7 For (I)those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk (J)are drunk at night. 8 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. 9 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.

New International Reader's Version
The Day of the Lord Is Coming
5 Brothers and sisters, we don’t have to write to you about times and dates. 2 You know very well how the day of the Lord will come. It will come like a thief in the night. 3 People will be saying that everything is peaceful and safe. Then suddenly they will be destroyed. It will happen like birth pains coming on a pregnant woman. None of the people will escape.
4 Brothers and sisters, you are not in darkness. So that day should not surprise you as a thief would. 5 All of you are children of the light. You are children of the day. We don’t belong to the night. We don’t belong to the darkness. 6 So let us not be like the others. They are asleep. Instead, let us be wide awake and in full control of ourselves. 7 Those who sleep, sleep at night. Those who get drunk, get drunk at night. 8 But we belong to the day. So let us control ourselves. Let us put on our chest the armor of faith and love. Let us put on the hope of salvation like a helmet. 9 God didn’t choose us to receive his anger. He chose us to receive salvation because of what our Lord Jesus Christ has done. 10 Jesus died for us. Some will be alive when he comes. Others will be dead. Either way, we will live together with him. 11 So encourage one another with the hope you have. Build each other up. In fact, that’s what you are doing.
Final Teachings
12 Brothers and sisters, we ask you to accept the godly leaders who work hard among you. They care for you in the Lord. They correct you. 13 Have a lot of respect for them. Love them because of what they do. Live in peace with one another. 14 Brothers and sisters, we are asking you to warn certain people. These people don’t want to work. Instead, they make trouble. We are also asking you to encourage those who have lost hope. Help those who are weak. Be patient with everyone. 15 Make sure that no one pays back one wrong act with another. Instead, always try to do what is good for each other and for everyone else.
16 Always be joyful. 17 Never stop praying. 18 Give thanks no matter what happens. God wants you to thank him because you believe in Christ Jesus.
19 Don’t try to stop what the Holy Spirit is doing. 20 Don’t treat prophecies as if they weren’t important. 21 But test all prophecies. Hold on to what is good. 22 Say no to every kind of evil.
23 God is the God who gives peace. May he make you holy through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept free from blame. May you be without blame from now until our Lord Jesus Christ comes. 24 The God who has chosen you is faithful. He will do all these things.
25 Brothers and sisters, pray for us.
26 Greet all God’s people with a holy kiss.
27 While the Lord is watching, here is what I command you. Have this letter read to all the brothers and sisters.
28 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
