Aufforderung zu Wachsamkeit und Nüchternheit
5 Von den Zeiten und Stunden aber braucht man euch Brüdern nicht zu schreiben. 2 Denn ihr wisset ja genau, daß der Tag des Herrn kommen wird wie ein Dieb in der Nacht. 3 Wenn sie sagen werden: „Friede und Sicherheit“, dann wird sie das Verderben plötzlich überfallen wie die Wehen eine schwangere Frau, und sie werden nicht entfliehen.
4 Ihr aber, Brüder, seid nicht in der Finsternis, daß euch der Tag wie ein Dieb überfallen könnte; 5 ihr seid allzumal Kinder des Lichts und Kinder des Tages. Wir sind nicht von der Nacht, noch von der Finsternis. 6 So lasset uns auch nicht schlafen wie die andern, sondern lasset uns wachen und nüchtern sein! 7 Denn die da schlafen, die schlafen des Nachts, und die Betrunkenen sind des Nachts betrunken; 8 wir aber, die wir dem Tage angehören, wollen nüchtern sein, angetan mit dem Panzer des Glaubens und der Liebe und mit dem Helm der Hoffnung des Heils. 9 Denn Gott hat uns nicht zum Zorn[-gericht] bestimmt, sondern zum Besitze des Heils durch unsren Herrn Jesus Christus, 10 der für uns gestorben ist, damit wir, ob wir wachen oder schlafen, zugleich mit ihm leben sollen. 11 Darum ermahnet[a] einander und erbauet einer den andern, wie ihr auch tut.
Letzte Ermahnungen
12 Wir bitten euch aber, ihr Brüder, anerkennet diejenigen, welche an euch arbeiten und euch im Herrn vorstehen und euch ermahnen; 13 haltet sie um ihres Werkes willen desto größerer Liebe wert; lebet im Frieden mit ihnen!
14 Wir ermahnen euch aber, Brüder: Verwarnet die Unordentlichen, tröstet die Kleinmütigen, nehmet euch der Schwachen an, seid geduldig gegen jedermann!
15 Sehet zu, daß niemand Böses mit Bösem vergelte, sondern trachtet allezeit darnach, Gutes zu tun, aneinander und an jedermann!
16 Seid allezeit fröhlich!
17 Betet ohne Unterlaß! 18 Seid in allem dankbar; denn das ist der Wille Gottes in Christus Jesus für euch.
19 Den Geist dämpfet nicht, 20 die Weissagung[b] verachtet nicht; 21 prüfet aber alles. Das Gute behaltet, 22 enthaltet euch des Bösen in jeglicher Gestalt!
Wünsche und Grüße
23 Er selbst aber, der Gott des Friedens, heilige euch durch und durch, und euer ganzes Wesen, der Geist, die Seele und der Leib, werde unsträflich bewahrt bei der Wiederkunft unsres Herrn Jesus Christus! 24 Treu ist er, der euch beruft; er wird es auch tun.
25 Brüder, betet für uns! 26 Grüßet die Brüder alle mit dem heiligen Kuß! 27 Ich beschwöre euch bei dem Herrn, daß dieser Brief allen heiligen Brüdern gelesen werde.
28 Die Gnade unsres Herrn Jesus Christus sei mit euch!

Be Ready for the Lord’s Coming
5 Now, brothers and sisters, we do not need to write you about times and ·dates [seasons; C related to end-time events]. 2 You know ·very well [accurately] that the ·day the Lord comes again [L day of the Lord; C the time of Christ’s return and the judgments associated with it] will ·be a surprise, like a thief that comes in the night [L come like a thief in the night]. 3 While people are saying, “·We have peace and we are safe [L Peace and safety/security],” they will be destroyed ·quickly [suddenly]. It is like pains that come quickly to a woman having a baby. Those people will not escape. 4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not ·living in darkness [L in darkness], and so that day will not ·surprise you [or overtake you] like a thief. 5 [L For] You are all ·people who belong to the light [L children/sons of the light] and ·who belong to [L children/sons of] the day. We do not belong to the night or to darkness. 6 So we should not be like other people who are sleeping [C spiritually], but we should be ·alert [awake] and ·have self-control [sober]. 7 [L For] Those who sleep sleep at night. Those who get drunk get drunk at night. 8 But we belong to the day, so we should ·control ourselves [be sober]. We should ·wear faith and love to protect us [L put on the breastplate/body armor of faith and love], and the hope of salvation should be our helmet [Is. 59:17]. 9 God did not ·choose [appoint; destine] us ·to suffer his anger [L for wrath] but to ·have [receive; gain; possess] salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. 10 ·Jesus [L …who] died for us so that we can live together with him, whether we are ·alive [L awake] or ·dead [L asleep] when he comes. 11 So encourage each other and ·give each other strength [build each other up], just as you are doing now.
Final Instructions and Greetings
12 Now, brothers and sisters, we ask you to ·appreciate [acknowledge; respect] those who work hard among you, who ·lead [or care for] you in the Lord and ·teach [instruct; admonish] you. 13 ·Respect [Regard; Esteem] them ·with a very special [or very highly with your] love because of the work they do.
Live in peace with each other. 14 We ·ask [urge; exhort; encourage] you, brothers and sisters, to ·warn [admonish; rebuke] those who ·do not work [are idle; or are undisciplined]. ·Encourage [Comfort] the people who are ·afraid [apprehensive; fainthearted; discouraged]. Help those who are weak. Be patient with everyone. 15 ·Be sure [See to it] that no one pays back ·wrong [evil] for ·wrong [evil], but always ·try to do [strive for; L pursue] what is good for each other and for all people.
16 Always ·be joyful [rejoice]. 17 Pray ·continually [without ceasing], 18 and give thanks ·whatever happens [in all circumstances; in everything]. That is ·what God wants [God’s will] for you in Christ Jesus.
19 Do not ·hold back the work of [stifle; quench; extinguish] the Holy Spirit. 20 Do not treat ·prophecy [L prophecies; C occurring in the church] ·as if it were unimportant [with contempt]. 21 But test everything. ·Keep [Hold on to] what is good, 22 and stay away from ·everything that is [every form/kind of] evil.
23 Now may God himself, the God of peace, ·make you holy in every way [sanctify you completely/through and through]. May your whole self—spirit, soul, and body—be kept ·faultless [blameless] when our Lord Jesus Christ comes. 24 The One who calls you is ·trustworthy [faithful], and he will ·do this [make this happen].
25 Brothers and sisters, pray for us.
26 Greet all ·believers [L the brothers (and sisters)] with a holy kiss. 27 I ·tell [solemnly charge; adjure] you ·by the authority of [or before; or in] the Lord to read this letter to all the believers.
28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

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)

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.
