1 Thessalonians 5:18 (KJV) King James Version

1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.
2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
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.
4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
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.
9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
12 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
13 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.
14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.
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.
16 Rejoice evermore.
17 Pray without ceasing.
18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
19 Quench not the Spirit.
20 Despise not prophesyings.
21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
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.
24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.
25 Brethren, pray for us.
26 Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.
27 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

3 For G1063 CONJ when G3752 CONJ they shall say G3004 V-PAS-3P , Peace G1515 N-NSF and G2532 CONJ safety G803 N-NSF ; then G5119 ADV sudden G160 A-NSM destruction G3639 N-NSM cometh upon G2186 V-PMI-3S them G846 P-DPM , as G5618 ADV travail G5604 N-NSF upon a woman with child G1722 PREP ; and G2532 CONJ they shall not G3364 escape G1628 V-2AAS-3P .
4 But G1161 CONJ ye G5210 P-2NP , brethren G80 N-VPM , are G2075 V-PXI-2P not G3756 PRT-N in G1722 PREP darkness G4655 N-DSN , that G3588 T-NSF that day G2250 N-NSF should overtake G2638 V-2AAS-3S you G5209 P-2AP as G5613 ADV a thief G2812 N-NSM .

8 But G1161 CONJ let us G2249 P-1NP , who are G5607 V-PXP-NPM of the day G2250 N-GSF , be sober G3525 V-PAS-1P , putting on G1746 V-AMP-NPM the breastplate G2382 N-ASM of faith G4102 N-GSF and G2532 CONJ love G26 N-GSF ; and G2532 CONJ for a helmet G4030 N-ASF , the hope G1680 N-ASF of salvation G4991 N-GSF .
9 For G3588 T-NSM God G2316 N-NSM hath not G3756 PRT-N appointed G5087 V-2AMI-3S us G2248 P-1AP to G1519 PREP wrath G3709 N-ASF , but G235 CONJ to obtain G1519 PREP salvation G4991 N-GSF by G1223 PREP our G3588 T-GSM Lord G2962 N-GSM Jesus G2424 N-GSM Christ G5547 N-GSM ,
