1 περι δε των χρονων και των καιρων αδελφοι ου χρειαν εχετε υμιν γραφεσθαι
1 EMPERO acerca de los tiempos y de los momentos, no tenéis, hermanos, necesidad de que yo os escriba:
1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.
2 αυτοι γαρ ακριβωσ οιδατε οτι η ημερα κυριου ωσ κλεπτησ εν νυκτι ουτωσ ερχεται
2 Porque vosotros sabéis bien, que el día del Señor vendrá así como ladrón de noche,
2 For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.
3 οταν γαρ λεγωσιν ειρηνη και ασφαλεια τοτε αιφνιδιοσ αυτοισ εφισταται ολεθροσ ωσπερ η ωδιν τη εν γαστρι εχουση και ου μη εκφυγωσιν
3 Que cuando dirán, Paz y seguridad, entonces vendrá sobre ellos destrucción de repente, como los dolores á la mujer preñada; y no escaparán.
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 υμεισ δε αδελφοι ουκ εστε εν σκοτει ινα η ημερα υμασ ωσ κλεπτησ καταλαβη
4 Mas vosotros, hermanos, no estáis en tinieblas, para que aquel día os sobrecoja como ladrón;
4 But you, brothers, aren’t in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.
5 παντεσ υμεισ υιοι φωτοσ εστε και υιοι ημερασ ουκ εσμεν νυκτοσ ουδε σκοτουσ
5 Porque todos vosotros sois hijos de luz, é hijos del día; no somos de la noche, ni de las tinieblas.
5 You are all children of light and children of the day. We don’t belong to the night, nor to darkness,
6 αρα ουν μη καθευδωμεν ωσ και οι λοιποι αλλα γρηγορωμεν και νηφωμεν
6 Por tanto, no durmamos como los demás; antes velemos y seamos sobrios.
6 so then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober.
7 οι γαρ καθευδοντεσ νυκτοσ καθευδουσιν και οι μεθυσκομενοι νυκτοσ μεθυουσιν
7 Porque los que duermen, de noche duermen; y los que están borrachos, de noche están borrachos.
7 For those who sleep, sleep in the night; and those who are drunk are drunk in the night.
8 ημεισ δε ημερασ οντεσ νηφωμεν ενδυσαμενοι θωρακα πιστεωσ και αγαπησ και περικεφαλαιαν ελπιδα σωτηριασ
8 Mas nosotros, que somos del día, estemos sobrios, vestidos de cota de fe y de caridad, y la esperanza de salud por yelmo.
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 οτι ουκ εθετο ημασ ο θεοσ εισ οργην αλλ εισ περιποιησιν σωτηριασ δια του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
9 Porque no nos ha puesto Dios para ira, sino para alcanzar salud por nuestro Señor Jesucristo;
9 For God didn’t appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
10 του αποθανοντοσ υπερ ημων ινα ειτε γρηγορωμεν ειτε καθευδωμεν αμα συν αυτω ζησωμεν
10 El cual murió por nosotros, para que ó que velemos, ó que durmamos, vivamos juntamente con él.
10 who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
11 διο παρακαλειτε αλληλουσ και οικοδομειτε εισ τον ενα καθωσ και ποιειτε
11 Por lo cual, consolaos los unos á los otros, y edificaos los unos á los otros, así como lo hacéis.
11 Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.
12 ερωτωμεν δε υμασ αδελφοι ειδεναι τουσ κοπιωντασ εν υμιν και προισταμενουσ υμων εν κυριω και νουθετουντασ υμασ
12 Y os rogamos, hermanos, que reconozcáis á los que trabajan entre vosotros, y os presiden en el Señor, y os amonestan:
12 But we beg you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,
13 και ηγεισθαι αυτουσ υπερ εκπερισσου εν αγαπη δια το εργον αυτων ειρηνευετε εν εαυτοισ
13 Y que los tengáis en mucha estima por amor de su obra. Tened paz los unos con los otros.
13 and to respect and honor them in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves.
14 παρακαλουμεν δε υμασ αδελφοι νουθετειτε τουσ ατακτουσ παραμυθεισθε τουσ ολιγοψυχουσ αντεχεσθε των ασθενων μακροθυμειτε προσ παντασ
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.
14 We exhort you, brothers: Admonish the disorderly; encourage the faint-hearted; support the weak; be patient toward all.
15 ορατε μη τισ κακον αντι κακου τινι αποδω αλλα παντοτε το αγαθον διωκετε και εισ αλληλουσ και εισ παντασ
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.
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.
18 εν παντι ευχαριστειτε τουτο γαρ θελημα θεου εν χριστω ιησου εισ υμασ
18 Dad gracias en todo; porque esta es la voluntad de Dios para con vosotros en Cristo Jesús.
18 In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.
21 παντα δε δοκιμαζετε το καλον κατεχετε
21 Examinadlo todo; retened lo bueno.
21 Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good.
22 απο παντοσ ειδουσ πονηρου απεχεσθε
22 Apartaos de toda especie de mal.
22 Abstain from every form of evil.
23 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
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.
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 πιστοσ ο καλων υμασ οσ και ποιησει
24 Fiel es el que os ha llamado; el cual también [lo] hará.
24 He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it.
26 ασπασασθε τουσ αδελφουσ παντασ εν φιληματι αγιω
26 Saludad á todos los hermanos en ósculo santo.
26 Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
27 ορκιζω υμασ τον κυριον αναγνωσθηναι την επιστολην πασιν τοισ αγιοισ αδελφοισ
27 Conjúroos por el Señor, que esta carta sea leída á todos los santos hermanos.
27 I solemnly command you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the holy brothers.
28 η χαρισ του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου μεθ υμων αμην
28 La gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo sea con vosotros. Amén. La primera [epístola] á los Tesalonicenses fué escrita de Atenas.
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 …
