WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 А҆ ѡ҆ лѣ́тѣхъ и҆ ѡ҆ временѣ́хъ, бра́тїе, не тре́бѣ є҆́сть ва́мъ писа́ти,
1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.
2 са́ми бо вы̀ и҆звѣ́стнѡ вѣ́сте, ꙗ҆́кѡ де́нь гдⷭ҇ень, ꙗ҆́коже та́ть въ нощѝ, та́кѡ прїи́детъ.
2 For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.
3 Є҆гда́ бо рекꙋ́тъ: ми́ръ и҆ ᲂу҆твержде́нїе, тогда̀ внеза́пꙋ нападе́тъ на ни́хъ всегꙋби́тельство, ꙗ҆́коже болѣ́знь во чре́вѣ и҆мꙋ́щей, и҆ не и҆́мꙋтъ и҆збѣжа́ти.
3 For when they are saying, “Peace and safety,” then sudden destruction will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman. Then they will in no way escape.
4 Вы́ же, бра́тїе, нѣ́сте во тьмѣ̀, да де́нь ва́съ ꙗ҆́коже та́ть пости́гнетъ:
4 But you, brothers, aren’t in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.
5 вси́ бо вы̀ сы́нове свѣ́та є҆стѐ: и҆ сы́нове днѐ: нѣ́смы но́щи, нижѐ тьмы̀.
5 You are all children of light and children of the day. We don’t belong to the night, nor to darkness,
6 Тѣ́мже ᲂу҆̀бо да не спи́мъ, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ про́чїи, но да бо́дрствꙋимъ и҆ трезви́мсѧ.
6 so then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober.
7 Спѧ́щїи бо, въ нощѝ спѧ́тъ, и҆ ᲂу҆пива́ющїисѧ въ нощѝ ᲂу҆пива́ютсѧ.
7 For those who sleep, sleep in the night; and those who are drunk are drunk in the night.
8 Мы́ же, сы́нове сꙋ́ще днѐ, да трезви́мсѧ, ѡ҆болкше́сѧ въ броню̀ вѣ́ры и҆ любвѐ и҆ шле́мъ ᲂу҆пова́нїѧ спⷭ҇нїѧ,
8 But since we belong to the day, let’s be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
9 ꙗ҆́кѡ не положѝ на́съ бг҃ъ въ гнѣ́въ, но въ полꙋче́нїе спⷭ҇нїѧ гдⷭ҇емъ на́шимъ і҆и҃съ хрⷭ҇то́мъ,
9 For God didn’t appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 ᲂу҆ме́ршимъ за на́съ, да, а҆́ще бди́мъ, а҆́ще ли спи́мъ, кꙋ́пнѡ съ ни́мъ живе́мъ.
10 who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Сегѡ̀ ра́ди ᲂу҆тѣша́йте дрꙋ́гъ дрꙋ́га, и҆ созида́йте кі́йждо бли́жнѧго, ꙗ҆́коже и҆ творитѐ.
11 Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.
12 Мо́лимъ же вы̀, бра́тїе, зна́йте трꙋжда́ющихсѧ ᲂу҆ ва́съ, и҆ настоѧ́телей ва́шихъ ѡ҆ гдⷭ҇ѣ, и҆ наказꙋ́ющихъ вы̀,
12 But we beg you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,
13 и҆ и҆мѣ́йте и҆̀хъ по преизли́ха въ любвѝ за дѣ́ло и҆́хъ: ми́рствꙋйте въ себѣ̀.
13 and to respect and honor them in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.
14 Мо́лимъ же вы̀, бра́тїе, вразꙋмлѧ́йте безчи̑нныѧ, ᲂу҆тѣша́йте малодꙋ̑шныѧ, застꙋпа́йте немощны́ѧ, долготерпи́те ко всѣ̑мъ.
14 We exhort you, brothers: Admonish the disorderly; encourage the faint-hearted; support the weak; be patient toward all.
15 Блюди́те, да никто́же ѕла̀ за ѕло̀ комꙋ̀ возда́стъ: но всегда̀ до́брое гони́те и҆ дрꙋ́гъ ко дрꙋ́гꙋ и҆ ко всѣ̑мъ.
15 See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always follow after that which is good for one another and for all.
16 Всегда̀ ра́дꙋйтесѧ.
16 Always rejoice.
17 Непреста́ннѡ моли́тесѧ.
17 Pray without ceasing.
18 Ѡ҆ все́мъ благодари́те: сїѧ́ бо є҆́сть во́лѧ бж҃їѧ ѡ҆ хрⷭ҇тѣ̀ і҆и҃сѣ въ ва́съ.
18 In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.
19 Дх҃а не ᲂу҆гаша́йте.
19 Don’t quench the Spirit.
20 Прⷪ҇ро́чєствїѧ не ᲂу҆ничижа́йте.
20 Don’t despise prophecies.
21 Всѧ̑ же и҆скꙋша́юще, дѡ́браѧ держи́те.
21 Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good.
22 Ѿ всѧ́кїѧ ве́щи ѕлы́ѧ ѡ҆греба́йтесѧ.
22 Abstain from every form of evil.
23 Са́мъ же бг҃ъ ми́ра да ѡ҆ст҃и́тъ ва́съ всесоверше́нныхъ во все́мъ: и҆ всесоверше́нъ ва́шъ дꙋ́хъ и҆ дꙋша̀ и҆ тѣ́ло непоро́чно въ прише́ствїе гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀ да сохрани́тсѧ.
23 May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
24 Вѣ́ренъ призва́вый ва́съ, и҆́же и҆ сотвори́тъ.
24 He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it.
25 Бра́тїе, моли́тесѧ ѡ҆ на́съ.
25 Brothers, pray for us.
26 Цѣлꙋ́йте бра́тїю всю̀ лобза́нїемъ ст҃ы́мъ.
26 Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
27 Заклина́ю вы̀ гдⷭ҇емъ, прочестѝ посла́нїе сїѐ пред̾ все́ю ст҃о́ю бра́тїею.
27 I solemnly command you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the holy brothers.
28 Блгⷣть гдⷭ҇а на́шегѡ і҆и҃са хрⷭ҇та̀ съ ва́ми. А҆ми́нь.
28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary 5:1 John Chrysostom, Homilies on First Thessalonians (Homily IX)

    Nothing, as it seems, is so curious, and so fondly prone to pry into things obscure and concealed, as the nature of men. And this is wont to happen to it, when the mind is unsettled and in an imperfect state.

  2. Quotes verse 5:22 Polycarp of Smyrna, Epistle to the Philippians (Chapters VIII–XIV)

    I exhort you, therefore, that ye abstain from covetousness, and that ye be chaste and truthful. "Abstain from every form of evil." For if a man cannot govern himself in such matters, how shall he enjoin them on others?

  3. Quotes verse 5:23 Irenaeus of Lyons, Against Heresies (Book V, Preface)

    … as well as a spiritual man; saying thus in the first Epistle to the Thessalonians, "Now the God of peace sanctify you perfect (perfectos); and may your spirit, and soul, and body be preserved whole without complaint to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ." Now what was his object in praying that these three--that is, soul, body, and spirit--might …

  4. Quotes verse 5:5 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book XIII, Chapters XII–XV)

    … this pilgrimage received "an earnest" that we should now be light, whilst as yet we "are saved by hope," and are the children of light, and the children of the day,--not the children of the night nor of the darkness, which yet we have been. Betwixt whom and us, in this as yet uncertain state of human knowledge, Thou only …

  5. Quotes verse 5:3 John Chrysostom, Homilies on the Gospel of Matthew (Homily LXXVII)

    For Paul too saith this, writing on this wise, "When they shall speak of peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them;" and to show how unexpected, He said, "as travail upon a woman with child." How then doth He say, "after the tribulation of those days?" For if there be luxury then, and peace, and safety, as Paul …
