1 Thessalonians 5
1 But about the times and their order, my brothers, there is no need for me to say anything to you.
περι δε των χρονων και των καιρων αδελφοι ου χρειαν εχετε υμιν γραφεσθαι
2 For you yourselves have the knowledge that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
αυτοι γαρ ακριβως οιδατε οτι η ημερα κυριου ως κλεπτης εν νυκτι ουτως ερχεται
3 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.
οταν γαρ λεγωσιν ειρηνη και ασφαλεια τοτε αιφνιδιος αυτοις εφισταται ολεθρος ωσπερ η ωδιν τη εν γαστρι εχουση και ου μη εκφυγωσιν
4 But you, my brothers, are not in the dark, for that day to overtake you like a thief:
υμεις δε αδελφοι ουκ εστε εν σκοτει ινα η ημερα υμας ως κλεπτης καταλαβη
5 For you are all sons of light and of the day: we are not of the night or of the dark.
παντες υμεις υιοι φωτος εστε και υιοι ημερας ουκ εσμεν νυκτος ουδε σκοτους
6 So then, let us not take our rest as the others do, but let us be self-controlled and awake.
αρα ουν μη καθευδωμεν ως και οι λοιποι αλλα γρηγορωμεν και νηφωμεν
7 For those who are sleeping do so in the night; and those who are the worse for drink are so in the night;
οι γαρ καθευδοντες νυκτος καθευδουσιν και οι μεθυσκομενοι νυκτος μεθυουσιν
8 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.
ημεις δε ημερας οντες νηφωμεν ενδυσαμενοι θωρακα πιστεως και αγαπης και περικεφαλαιαν ελπιδα σωτηριας
9 For God's purpose for us is not wrath, but salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
οτι ουκ εθετο ημας ο θεος εις οργην αλλ εις περιποιησιν σωτηριας δια του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
10 Who was put to death for us, so that, awake or sleeping, we may have a part in his life.
του αποθανοντος υπερ ημων ινα ειτε γρηγορουμεν ειτε καθευδομεν αμα συν αυτω ζησωμεν
11 So then, go on comforting and building up one another, as you have been doing.
διο παρακαλειτε αλληλους και οικοδομειτε εις τον ενα καθως και ποιειτε
12 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;
ερωτωμεν δε υμας αδελφοι ειδεναι τους κοπιωντας εν υμιν και προισταμενους υμων εν κυριω και νουθετουντας υμας
13 And have a high opinion of them in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
και ηγεισθαι αυτους υπερεκπερισσου εν αγαπη δια το εργον αυτων ειρηνευετε εν εαυτοις
14 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.
παρακαλουμεν δε υμας αδελφοι νουθετειτε τους ατακτους παραμυθεισθε τους ολιγοψυχους αντεχεσθε των ασθενων μακροθυμειτε προς παντας
15 Let no one give evil for evil; but ever go after what is good, for one another and for all.
ορατε μη τις κακον αντι κακου τινι αποδω αλλα παντοτε το αγαθον διωκετε και εις αλληλους και εις παντας
16 Have joy at all times.
παντοτε χαιρετε
17 Keep on with your prayers.
αδιαλειπτως προσευχεσθε
18 In everything give praise: for this is the purpose of God in Christ Jesus for you.
εν παντι ευχαριστειτε τουτο γαρ θελημα θεου εν χριστω ιησου εις υμας
19 Do not put out the light of the Spirit;
το πνευμα μη σβεννυτε
20 Do not make little of the words of the prophets;
προφητειας μη εξουθενειτε
21 Let all things be tested; keep to what is good;
παντα δε δοκιμαζετε το καλον κατεχετε
22 Keep from every form of evil.
απο παντος ειδους πονηρου απεχεσθε
23 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.
αυτος δε ο θεος της ειρηνης αγιασαι υμας ολοτελεις και ολοκληρον υμων το πνευμα και η ψυχη και το σωμα αμεμπτως εν τη παρουσια του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου τηρηθειη
24 God, by whom you have been marked out in his purpose, is unchanging and will make it complete.
πιστος ο καλων υμας ος και ποιησει
25 Brothers, keep us in mind in your prayers.
αδελφοι προσευχεσθε περι ημων
26 Give all the brothers a holy kiss.
ασπασασθε τους αδελφους παντας εν φιληματι αγιω
27 I give orders in the name of the Lord that all the brothers are to be present at the reading of this letter.
ορκιζω υμας τον κυριον αναγνωσθηναι την επιστολην πασιν τοις αγιοις αδελφοις
28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
η χαρις του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου μεθ υμων αμην
