데살로니가전서 5장 Coverdale Bible
- 1 Bvt of ye tymes and seasons (brethre) it is no nede to wryte vnto you.
- 2 For ye youre selues knowe perfectly, that the daye of the LORDE shal come euen as a thefe in the nighte.
- 3 For whan they shal saye: Tush, It is peace, there is no daunger, then shall soden destruccion come vpo the, euen as the payne of a woman trauaylinge with childe, and they shal not escape.
- 4 But ye brethren are not in darknes, that that daye shulde come on you as a thefe.
- 5 Ye are alltogether children of lighte, and children of the daye. We are not of the night, nether of darknesse.
- 6 Therfore let vs not slepe as do other, but let vs watch, and be sober.
- 7 For they that slepe, slepe in the nighte: and they that be dronken, are dronken in the nighte.
- 8 But let vs which are of the daye, be sober, armed wt the brestplate of faith and loue, and with ye helmet of hope to saluacion.
- 9 For God hath not appoynted vs vnto wrath, but to optayne saluacion by ye meanes of oure LORDE Iesu Christ,
- 10 which dyed for vs: that whether we wake or slepe, we shulde lyue together with him.
- 11 Wherfore comforte youre selues together, and edifye one another, euen as ye do.
- 12 We beseke you brethren, that ye knowe them which laboure amonge you, and haue the ouersighte of you in the LORDE,
- 13 and geue you exhortacion, that ye haue the the more in loue for their workes sake, and be at peace with them.
- 14 We desyre you brethre, warne them that are vnruly, coforte the feble mynded, forbeare the weake, be pacient towarde all men.
- 15 Se that none recompence euell for euell vnto eny man: but euer folowe that which is good, both amoge youre selues and to all men.
- 16 Reioyse alwaye,
- 17 praye contynually,
- 18 in all thinges be thankfull: for this is the wyll of God in Christ Iesu towarde you.
- 19 Quech not ye sprete:
- 20 despyse not prophecieges:
- 21 proue all thiges, & kepe yt which is good.
- 22 Abstayne fro all suspicious thinges.
- 23 The very God of peace sanctifye you thorow out. And I praye God, that youre whole sprete, soule & body be kepte blameles vnto ye comynge of oure LORDE Iesus Christ.
- 24 Faithfull is he which hath called you, which wil also do it.
- 25 Brethren, praye for vs.
- 26 Grete all the brethre with an holy kysse.
- 27 I charge you by ye LORDE, that this epistle be red vnto all ye holy brethren.
- 28 The grace of oure LORDE Iesus Christ be with you, Amen.
