1 Hermanos, ustedes no necesitan que yo les escriba cuándo ocurrirá esto.
1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.
2 Ustedes saben muy bien que el día en que el Señor regrese llegará como un ladrón en la noche.
2 For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.
3 Cuando la gente esté diciendo: «Hay paz y seguridad», entonces, de repente vendrá sobre ellos la destrucción. Llegará como le llegan a la mujer embarazada los dolores de parto. No habrá forma de que escapen.
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 Pero ustedes, hermanos, no están en la oscuridad para que ese día los sorprenda como un ladrón.
4 But you, brothers, aren’t in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.
5 Todos ustedes son hijos de la luz y del día. No somos de la noche ni de la oscuridad.
5 You are all children of light and children of the day. We don’t belong to the night, nor to darkness,
6 Por eso, no debemos dormirnos como los demás, sino mantenernos alerta y en nuestro sano juicio.
6 so then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober.
7 Los que duermen, de noche duermen, y los que se emborrachan, de noche se emborrachan.
7 For those who sleep, sleep in the night; and those who are drunk are drunk in the night.
8 Nosotros, por el contrario, somos del día. Por eso estamos siempre en nuestro sano juicio, protegidos por la coraza de la fe y del amor, y por el casco de la esperanza de salvación.
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 Porque Dios no nos llamó para sufrir el castigo sino para recibir la salvación por medio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo.
9 For God didn’t appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 Él murió por nosotros para que, ya sea en la vida o en la muerte, vivamos junto con él.
10 who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 Así que anímense y ayúdense unos a otros a crecer, como ya lo están haciendo.
11 Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.
12 Hermanos, les pedimos que respeten a los que trabajan entre ustedes, los guían y reprenden en el Señor.
12 But we beg you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,
13 Estímenlos mucho y ámenlos por el trabajo que hacen. Vivan en paz unos con otros.
13 and to respect and honor them in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.
14 Hermanos, también les rogamos que reprendan a los perezosos, animen a los desanimados, ayuden a los débiles y tengan paciencia con todos.
14 We exhort you, brothers: Admonish the disorderly; encourage the faint-hearted; support the weak; be patient toward all.
15 Asegúrense de que ninguno pague mal por mal. Al contrario, procuren siempre hacer el bien, no sólo entre ustedes sino también a todos los demás.
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 Estén siempre contentos.
16 Always rejoice.
17 Oren en todo momento.
17 Pray without ceasing.
18 Den gracias a Dios en cualquier situación, porque esto es lo que Dios quiere de ustedes como creyentes en Cristo Jesús.
18 In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.
19 No apaguen el Espíritu.
19 Don’t quench the Spirit.
20 No desprecien las profecías.
20 Don’t despise prophecies.
21 Pónganlo todo a prueba, pero retengan sólo lo bueno.
21 Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good.
22 Eviten toda clase de mal.
22 Abstain from every form of evil.
23 Que Dios mismo, el Dios de paz, los santifique por completo. Que mantenga sin culpa todo su ser —espíritu, alma y cuerpo—, para cuando el Señor Jesucristo regrese.
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 El que los llama es fiel, y por eso hará todo lo que ha dicho.
24 He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it.
25 Hermanos, oren también por nosotros.
25 Brothers, pray for us.
26 Saluden a todos los hermanos con un beso santo.
26 Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
27 Les encargo en el Señor que lean esta carta a todos los hermanos.
27 I solemnly command you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the holy brothers.
28 Que nuestro Señor Jesucristo les conceda su favor.
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).
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 …
