5 Now de concerning peri the ho times chronos and kai the ho seasons kairos, brothers adelphos, you have echō no ou need chreia for anything to be written graphō to you hymeis, ² for gar you oida yourselves autos know oida full well akribōs that hoti the day hēmera of the Lord kyrios will come erchomai like hōs a thief kleptēs by en night nyx. ³ When hotan they are saying legō, “ Peace eirēnē and kai security asphaleia,” it is then tote that sudden aiphnidios destruction olethros will come ephistēmi upon them autos, like hōsper · ho labor pains ōdin upon ho a woman with child en, and kai they will not ou mē escape ekpheugō. ⁴ But de you hymeis, brothers adelphos, are eimi not ou in en darkness skotos, for that hina · ho day hēmera to take katalambanō you hymeis by surprise katalambanō like hōs a thief kleptēs; ⁵ for gar you hymeis are eimi all pas sons hyios of light phōs, · kai sons hyios of the day hēmera. We do not ou belong eimi to night nyx or oude darkness skotos. ⁶ So ara then oun let us not mē fall asleep katheudō as hōs · ho others loipos do; rather alla let us stay awake grēgoreō and kai be sober nēphō. ⁷ For gar those ho who sleep katheudō, sleep katheudō at night nyx, and kai those ho who get drunk methyskō, are drunk methyō at night nyx; ⁸ but de let us hēmeis who belong to eimi the daylight hēmera stay sober nēphō, putting on endyō the breastplate thōrax of faith pistis and kai love agapē, and kai as a helmet perikephalaia the hope elpis of salvation sōtēria. ⁹ For hoti God theos has not ou appointed tithēmi us hēmeis · ho for eis wrath orgē, but alla to eis obtain peripoiēsis salvation sōtēria through dia · ho our hēmeis Lord kyrios Jesus Iēsous Christ Christos, ¹⁰ who ho died apothnēskō for hyper us hēmeis, so that hina whether eite we are awake grēgoreō or eite asleep katheudō we will come to life zaō together hama with syn him autos. ¹¹ Therefore dio encourage parakaleō one another allēlōn and kai build oikodomeō one heis · ho another heis up, as kathōs indeed kai you are doing poieō.

⁵ And kai while some tis were speaking legō of peri the ho temple hieron, how hoti it was adorned kosmeō with beautiful kalos stones lithos and kai gifts anathēma dedicated to God , Jesus said legō, ⁶ “ These houtos things that hos you see theōreō— days hēmera will come erchomai in en which hos there will not ou be left aphiēmi stone lithos upon epi stone lithos that hos will not ou be thrown katalyō down .”

⁷ And de they asked eperōtaō him autos, saying legō, “ Teacher didaskalos, when pote will these houtos things be eimi, and kai what tis is the ho sign sēmeion when hotan these things houtos are about mellō to happen ginomai?” ⁸ And de he ho said legō, “ See blepō that you are not mē led planaō astray ! For gar many polys will come erchomai in epi · ho my egō name onoma, saying legō, ‘ I egō am eimi he!’ and kai, ‘ The ho time kairos is at hand engizō!’ Do not mē go poreuō after opisō them autos. ⁹ When hotan · de you hear akouō of wars polemos and kai rebellions akatastasia, do not mē be terrified ptoeō, for gar these things houtos must dei take ginomai place first prōton, but alla the ho end telos will not ou follow immediately eutheōs.” ¹⁰ Then tote he said legō to them autos, “ Nation ethnos will rise egeirō against epi nation ethnos, and kai kingdom basileia against epi kingdom basileia; ¹¹ there will be eimi great megas earthquakes seismos, and kai in various kata places topos famines limos and kai plagues loimos. There will be eimi dreadful phobētron portents and kai great megas signs sēmeion from apo heaven ouranos. ¹² But de before pro all pas these houtos things , they will lay epiballō their autos hands cheir on epi you hymeis · ho and kai persecute diōkō you, handing paradidōmi you over to eis the ho synagogues synagōgē and kai prisons phylakē, bringing apagō you before epi kings basileus and kai governors hēgemōn for the sake of · ho my egō name onoma. ¹³ This will result apobainō in an opportunity for you hymeis for eis witness martyrion. ¹⁴ So oun determine tithēmi in en · ho your hymeis hearts kardia not mē to rehearse promeletaō beforehand how to defend apologeomai yourself , ¹⁵ For gar I egō am the one who will give didōmi you hymeis a mouth stoma and kai wisdom sophia, which hos none ou of your hymeis adversaries antikeimai will be able dynamai to resist anthistēmi or ē contradict antilegō. · ho ¹⁶ You will be handed paradidōmi over · de even kai by hypo parents goneus and kai brothers adelphos and kai relatives syngenēs and kai friends philos, and kai some of ek you hymeis they will put thanatoō to death . ¹⁷ · kai You will be eimi hated miseō by hypo all pas because dia of · ho my egō name onoma. ¹⁸ Yet kai not ou a hair thrix of ek · ho your hymeis head kephalē will perish apollymi. ¹⁹ By en · ho your hymeis endurance hypomonē you will gain ktaomai · ho your hymeis lives psychē.
