[kjv] But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
[bbe] But about the times and their order, my brothers, there is no need for me to say anything to you.
[kjv] For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
[bbe] For you yourselves have the knowledge that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
[kjv] 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.
[bbe] When they say, There is peace and no danger, then sudden destruction will come on them, as birth-pains on a woman with child; and they will not be able to get away from it.
[kjv] But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
[bbe] But you, my brothers, are not in the dark, for that day to overtake you like a thief:
[kjv] Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
[bbe] For you are all sons of light and of the day: we are not of the night or of the dark.
[kjv] Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
[bbe] So then, let us not take our rest as the others do, but let us be self-controlled and awake.
[kjv] For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
[bbe] For those who are sleeping do so in the night; and those who are the worse for drink are so in the night;
[kjv] 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.
[bbe] But let us, who are of the day, be serious, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and on our heads, the hope of salvation.
[kjv] For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
[bbe] For God's purpose for us is not wrath, but salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
[kjv] Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
[bbe] Who was put to death for us, so that, awake or sleeping, we may have a part in his life.
[kjv] Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
[bbe] So then, go on comforting and building up one another, as you have been doing.
[kjv] And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
[bbe] But we make this request to you, my brothers: give attention to those who are working among you, who are over you in the Lord to keep order among you;
[kjv] And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
[bbe] And have a high opinion of them in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
[kjv] Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
[bbe] And our desire is that you will keep control over those whose lives are not well ordered, giving comfort to the feeble-hearted, supporting those with little strength, and putting up with much from all.
[kjv] See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.
[bbe] Let no one give evil for evil; but ever go after what is good, for one another and for all.
[kjv] Rejoice evermore.
[bbe] Have joy at all times.
[kjv] Pray without ceasing.
[bbe] Keep on with your prayers.
[kjv] In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
[bbe] In everything give praise: for this is the purpose of God in Christ Jesus for you.
[kjv] Quench not the Spirit.
[bbe] Do not put out the light of the Spirit;
[kjv] Despise not prophesyings.
[bbe] Do not make little of the words of the prophets;
[kjv] Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
[bbe] Let all things be tested; keep to what is good;
[kjv] Abstain from all appearance of evil.
[bbe] Keep from every form of evil.
[kjv] 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.
[bbe] And may the God of peace himself make you holy in every way; and may your spirit and soul and body be free from all sin at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
[kjv] Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
[bbe] God, by whom you have been marked out in his purpose, is unchanging and will make it complete.
[kjv] Brethren, pray for us.
[bbe] Brothers, keep us in mind in your prayers.
[kjv] Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.
[bbe] Give all the brothers a holy kiss.
[kjv] I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
[bbe] I give orders in the name of the Lord that all the brothers are to be present at the reading of this letter.
[kjv] The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
[bbe] The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
