The Day of the Lord | ||||
 NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 1 Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you. | 1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. | 1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that aught be written unto you. | 1 But of the times and moments, brethren, you need not, that we should write to you; | 1 And concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need of my writing to you, | 2 For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night. | 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. | 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. | 2 For yourselves know perfectly, that the day of the Lord shall so come, as a thief in the night. | 2 for yourselves have known thoroughly that the day of the Lord as a thief in the night doth so come, | 3 While they are saying, "Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape. | 3 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. | 3 When they are saying, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall in no wise escape. | 3 For when they shall say, peace and security; then shall sudden destruction come upon them, as the pains upon her that is with child, and they shall not escape. | 3 for when they may say, Peace and surety, then sudden destruction doth stand by them, as the travail doth her who is with child, and they shall not escape; | 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief; | 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. | 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief: | 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. | 4 and ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day may catch you as a thief; | 5 for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness; | 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. | 5 for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness; | 5 For all you are the children of light, and children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. | 5 all ye are sons of light, and sons of day; we are not of night, nor of darkness, | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 6 so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober. | 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. | 6 so then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober. | 6 Therefore, let us not sleep, as others do; but let us watch, and be sober. | 6 so, then, we may not sleep as also the others, but watch and be sober, | 7 For those who sleep do their sleeping at night, and those who get drunk get drunk at night. | 7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. | 7 For they that sleep sleep in the night: and they that are drunken are drunken in the night. | 7 For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that are drunk, are drunk in the night. | 7 for those sleeping, by night do sleep, and those making themselves drunk, by night are drunken, | 8 But since we are of the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation. | 8 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. | 8 But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation. | 8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, having on the breastplate of faith and charity, and for a helmet the hope of salvation. | 8 and we, being of the day -- let us be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and an helmet -- a hope of salvation, | 9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, | 9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, | 9 For God appointed us not into wrath, but unto the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, | 9 For God hath not appointed us unto wrath, but unto the purchasing of salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, | 9 because God did not appoint us to anger, but to the acquiring of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, | 10 who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him. | 10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. | 10 who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. | 10 Who died for us; that, whether we watch or sleep, we may live together with him. | 10 who did die for us, that whether we wake -- whether we sleep -- together with him we may live; | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 11 Therefore encourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing. | 11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do. | 11 Wherefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as also ye do. | 11 For which cause comfort one another; and edify one another, as you also do. | 11 wherefore, comfort ye one another, and build ye up, one the one, as also ye do. | Christian Conduct |
| 12 But we request of you, brethren, that you appreciate those who diligently labor among you, and have charge over you in the Lord and give you instruction, | 12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; | 12 But we beseech you, brethren, to know them that labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you; | 12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them who labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you: | 12 And we ask you, brethren, to know those labouring among you, and leading you in the Lord, and admonishing you, | 13 and that you esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Live in peace with one another. | 13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves. | 13 and to esteem them exceeding highly in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves. | 13 That you esteem them more abundantly in charity, for their work's sake. Have peace with them. | 13 and to esteem them very abundantly in love, because of their work; be at peace among yourselves; | 14 We urge you, brethren, admonish the unruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone. | 14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men. | 14 And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, encourage the fainthearted, support the weak, be longsuffering toward all. | 14 And we beseech you, brethren, rebuke the unquiet, comfort the feeble minded, support the weak, be patient towards all men. | 14 and we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the infirm, be patient unto all; | 15 See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all people. | 15 See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men. | 15 See that none render unto any one evil for evil; but always follow after that which is good, one toward another, and toward all. | 15 See that none render evil for evil to any man; but ever follow that which is good towards each other, and towards all men. | 15 see no one evil for evil may render to any one, but always that which is good pursue ye, both to one another and to all; | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 16 Rejoice always; | 16 Rejoice evermore. | 16 Rejoice always; | 16 Always rejoice. | 16 always rejoice ye; | 17 pray without ceasing; | 17 Pray without ceasing. | 17 pray without ceasing; | 17 Pray without ceasing. | 17 continually pray ye; | 18 in everything give thanks; for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus. | 18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you. | 18 in everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus to you-ward. | 18 In all things give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you all. | 18 in every thing give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you. | 19 Do not quench the Spirit; | 19 Quench not the Spirit. | 19 Quench not the Spirit; | 19 Extinguish not the spirit. | 19 The Spirit quench not; | 20 do not despise prophetic utterances. | 20 Despise not prophesyings. | 20 despise not prophesyings; | 20 Despise not prophecies. | 20 prophesyings despise not; | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
| 21 But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good; | 21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. | 21 prove all things; hold fast that which is good; | 21 But prove all things; hold fast that which is good. | 21 all things prove; that which is good hold fast; | 22 abstain from every form of evil. | 22 Abstain from all appearance of evil. | 22 abstain from every form of evil. | 22 From all appearance of evil refrain yourselves. | 22 from all appearance of evil abstain ye; | 23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. | 23 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. | 23 And the God of peace himself sanctify you wholly; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved entire, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. | 23 And may the God of peace himself sanctify you in all things; that your whole spirit, and soul, and body, may be preserved blameless in the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. | 23 and the God of the peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your whole spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved unblameably in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ; | 24 Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass. | 24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. | 24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who will also do it. | 24 He is faithful who hath called you, who also will do it. | 24 stedfast is He who is calling you, who also will do it. | 25 Brethren, pray for us. | 25 Brethren, pray for us. | 25 Brethren, pray for us. | 25 Brethren, pray for us. | 25 Brethren, pray for us; | NASB | KJV | ASV | DRB | YLT |
