Tas`loniqim Aleph (1 Thessalonians) 5
5
1Now, brothers, as to the times and the seasons, you do not need to be written to.
2For you yourselves know very well that the day of יהוה comes as a thief in the night.
3For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then suddenly destruction comes upon them, as labour pains upon a pregnant woman, and they shall not escape.
4But you, brothers, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief.
5For you are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness.
6So, then, we should not sleep, as others do, but we should watch and be sober.
7For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night.
8But we who are of the day should be sober, putting on the breastplate of belief and love, and as a helmet the expectation of deliverance.# Isa. 59:17
9Because Elohim did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain deliverance through our Master יהושע Messiah,
10who died for us, so that we, whether awake or asleep, should live together with Him.
11Therefore encourage one another, and build up one another, as indeed you do.
12But brothers, we beg you to know those who labour among you, and are over you in the Master and admonish you,
13and to hold them in the highest regard in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
14And we appeal to you, brothers, warn those who are disorderly, encourage the faint-hearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all.
15See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all.
16Rejoice always,
17pray without ceasing,
18in all circumstances give thanks, for this is the desire of Elohim in Messiah יהושע for you.
19Do not quench the Spirit.
20Do not despise prophecies,
21prove them all. Hold fast what is good.
22Keep back from every form of wickedness.
23And the Elohim of peace Himself set you completely apart, and your entire spirit, and being, and body - be preserved blameless at the coming of our Master יהושע Messiah!
24He who calls you is trustworthy, who also shall do it.
25Brothers, pray for us.
26Greet all the brothers with a set-apart kiss.
27I charge you by the Master that this letter be read to all the set-apart brothers.
28The favour of our Master יהושע Messiah be with you. Amĕn.

Keep Watch for the Day of the Lord
1Now concerning the times and seasons, brothers and sisters, you have no need for anything to be written to you.
2For you yourselves know very well that the Day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.
3When they are saying, “Shalom and safety,” sudden destruction comes upon them like a woman having birth pains in the womb—there is no way they will escape.
4But you, brothers and sisters, are not in the dark, so that the Day might overtake you like a thief.
5For you all are sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night or of darkness—
6so then, let us not sleep as the others do, but let us remain on the alert and sober-minded.
7For those who sleep, sleep at night; and those who get drunk, get drunk at night.
8But since we are of the day, let us be sober-minded—putting on the breastplate of faithfulness and love, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.
9For God did not destine us for wrath but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
10He died for us so that, whether we may be awake or asleep, we may live together with Him.
11Therefore encourage one another and build each other up—just as you in fact are doing.
Instructions for Community Life
12Now we ask you, brothers and sisters, to recognize those who work hard among you and are over you in the Lord and correct you,
13and to esteem them beyond all measure in love because of their work. Keep shalom among yourselves.
14We urge you, brothers and sisters, correct the unruly, comfort the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone.
15See that no one repays evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good for one another and for all.
16Rejoice always,
17pray constantly,
18in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Messiah Yeshua.
19Do not quench the Spirit,
20do not despise prophetic messages,
21but test all things, hold fast to what is good,
22keep away from every kind of evil.
23Now may the God of shalom Himself make you completely holy; and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept complete, blameless at the coming of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah.
24Faithful is the One who calls you—and He will make it happen!
Closing Greetings
25Brothers and sisters, pray for us.
26Greet all the brothers and sisters with a holy kiss.
27I charge you under oath, by the Lord, that this letter be read to all the brothers and sisters.
28The grace of our Lord Yeshua the Messiah be with you.
