1 Brothers and sisters, we don't need to write anything to you about prophetic times and dates.
1 EMPERO acerca de los tiempos y de los momentos, no tenéis, hermanos, necesidad de que yo os escriba:
2 You yourselves know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
2 Porque vosotros sabéis bien, que el día del Señor vendrá así como ladrón de noche,
3 When people talk about peace and security suddenly they will be completely ruined. It will be just like the sudden onset of childbirth, and they certainly won't escape.
3 Que cuando dirán, Paz y seguridad, entonces vendrá sobre ellos destrucción de repente, como los dolores á la mujer preñada; y no escaparán.
4 But you, brothers and sisters, are not in the dark about this so that you won't be caught by surprise when the Day of Judgment arrives suddenly like a thief.
4 Mas vosotros, hermanos, no estáis en tinieblas, para que aquel día os sobrecoja como ladrón;
5 For you are all children of light and children of the day. We don't belong to the night or to darkness.
5 Porque todos vosotros sois hijos de luz, é hijos del día; no somos de la noche, ni de las tinieblas.
6 So then we shouldn't be sleeping like everybody else—we should stay awake and keep ourselves clear-headed.
6 Por tanto, no durmamos como los demás; antes velemos y seamos sobrios.
7 For it's during the night that people sleep; and it's at night that they get drunk.
7 Porque los que duermen, de noche duermen; y los que están borrachos, de noche están borrachos.
8 But since we belong to the day we should keep our heads clear. We strap on the breastplate of trust and love. We put on the hope of salvation as a helmet.
8 Mas nosotros, que somos del día, estemos sobrios, vestidos de cota de fe y de caridad, y la esperanza de salud por yelmo.
9 For God hasn't placed us in a position to be punished, but has reserved us for salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 Porque no nos ha puesto Dios para ira, sino para alcanzar salud por nuestro Señor Jesucristo;
10 He's the one who died for us so that whether we're alive or dead we shall live together with him.
10 El cual murió por nosotros, para que ó que velemos, ó que durmamos, vivamos juntamente con él.
11 So encourage and strengthen one another, just as you are doing.
11 Por lo cual, consolaos los unos á los otros, y edificaos los unos á los otros, así como lo hacéis.
12 Brothers and sisters, we're asking you to respect those who work with you, who lead you in the Lord and teach you.
12 Y os rogamos, hermanos, que reconozcáis á los que trabajan entre vosotros, y os presiden en el Señor, y os amonestan:
13 You should value them highly in love for the work they do. Live in peace with each other.
13 Y que los tengáis en mucha estima por amor de su obra. Tened paz los unos con los otros.
14 We urge you, brothers and sisters, to warn those who are lazy, encourage those who are anxious, help those who are weak, and be patient with everyone.
14 También os rogamos, hermanos, que amonestéis á los que andan desordenadamente, que consoléis á los de poco ánimo, que soportéis á los flacos, que seáis sufridos para con todos.
15 Make sure none of you pays back evil for evil, but always try to do good to one another, and to everyone.
15 Mirad que ninguno dé á otro mal por mal; antes seguid lo bueno siempre los unos para con los otros, y para con todos.
16 Always be full of joy,
16 Estad siempre gozosos.
17 never stop praying,
17 Orad sin cesar.
18 be thankful in every situation—because this is what God in Christ Jesus wants you to do.
18 Dad gracias en todo; porque esta es la voluntad de Dios para con vosotros en Cristo Jesús.
19 Don't hold the Spirit back,
19 No apaguéis el Espíritu.
20 don't look down on prophecy,
20 No menospreciéis las profecías.
21 make sure to check everything. Hold on to whatever is good;
21 Examinadlo todo; retened lo bueno.
22 keep away from every kind of evil.
22 Apartaos de toda especie de mal.
23 May the God of peace himself make you completely holy, and may your whole being—body, mind and spirit—be kept blameless for when our Lord Jesus Christ returns.
23 Y el Dios de paz os santifique en todo; para que vuestro espíritu y alma y cuerpo sea guardado entero sin reprensión para la venida de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
24 The one who calls you is trustworthy, and he will do this.
24 Fiel es el que os ha llamado; el cual también [lo] hará.
25 Brothers and sisters, pray for us.
25 Hermanos, orad por nosotros.
26 Greet all the believers there affectionately.
26 Saludad á todos los hermanos en ósculo santo.
27 I'm requiring you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the believers.
27 Conjúroos por el Señor, que esta carta sea leída á todos los santos hermanos.
28 May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
28 La gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo sea con vosotros. Amén. La primera [epístola] á los Tesalonicenses fué escrita de Atenas.

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).
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.

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?
… 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 …
… 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 …

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 …
