1 Tesalonicenses 5
Nueva Versión Internacional
5 Ahora bien, hermanos, ustedes no necesitan que se les escriba acerca de tiempos y fechas, 2 porque ya saben que el día del Señor llegará como ladrón en la noche. 3 Cuando la gente esté diciendo: «Paz y seguridad», vendrá de improviso sobre ellos la destrucción, como llegan los dolores de parto a la mujer embarazada. De ninguna manera podrán escapar.
4 Ustedes, en cambio, hermanos, no están en la oscuridad para que ese día los sorprenda como un ladrón. 5 Todos ustedes son hijos de la luz y del día. No somos de la noche ni de la oscuridad. 6 Por lo tanto, no debemos dormirnos como los demás, sino mantenernos alerta y en nuestro sano juicio. 7 Los que duermen, de noche duermen, y los que se emborrachan, de noche se emborrachan. 8 Nosotros que somos del día, por el contrario, estemos siempre en nuestro sano juicio, protegidos por la coraza de la fe y del amor, y por el casco de la esperanza de salvación; 9 pues Dios no nos destinó a sufrir el castigo, sino a recibir la salvación por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo. 10 Él murió por nosotros para que, en la vida o en la muerte,[a] vivamos junto con él. 11 Por eso, anímense y edifíquense unos a otros, tal como lo vienen haciendo.
Instrucciones finales
12 Hermanos, les pedimos que sean considerados con los que trabajan arduamente entre ustedes, y los guían y amonestan en el Señor. 13 Ténganlos en alta estima y ámenlos por el trabajo que hacen. Vivan en paz unos con otros. 14 Hermanos, también rogamos que amonesten a los holgazanes, estimulen a los desanimados, ayuden a los débiles y sean pacientes con todos. 15 Asegúrense de que nadie pague mal por mal; más bien, esfuércense siempre por hacer el bien, no solo entre ustedes, sino a todos.
16 Estén siempre alegres, 17 oren sin cesar, 18 den gracias a Dios en toda situación, porque esta es su voluntad para ustedes en Cristo Jesús.
19 No apaguen el Espíritu, 20 no desprecien las profecías, 21 sométanlo todo a prueba, aférrense a lo bueno, 22 eviten toda clase de mal.
23 Que Dios mismo, el Dios de paz, los santifique por completo, y conserve todo su ser —espíritu, alma y cuerpo—, irreprochable para la venida de nuestro Señor Jesucristo. 24 El que los llama es fiel y así lo hará.
25 Hermanos, oren también por nosotros.
26 Saluden a todos los hermanos con un beso santo.
27 Encargo delante del Señor que lean esta carta a todos los hermanos.
28 Que la gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo sea con ustedes.

1 Thessalonians 5
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
5 But as to the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need to have anything written to you. 2 For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3 When people say, “There is peace and security,” then sudden destruction will come upon them as travail comes upon a woman with child, and there will be no escape. 4 But you are not in darkness, brethren, for that day to surprise you like a thief. 5 For you are all sons of light and sons of the day; we are not of the night or of darkness. 6 So then let us not sleep, as others do, but let us keep awake and be sober. 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, let us be sober, and put on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. 9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us so that whether we wake or sleep we might live with him. 11 Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.
Final Exhortations, Greetings, and Benediction
12 But we beseech you, brethren, to respect those who labor among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you, 13 and to esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.[a] 14 And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. 15 See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray constantly, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit, 20 do not despise prophesying, 21 but test everything; hold fast what is good, 22 abstain from every form of evil.
23 May the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 He who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.
25 Brethren, pray for us.
26 Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.
27 I adjure you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the brethren.
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.
