1 A za čase i vremena, braćo, nije vam potrebno pisati; 2 jer sami znate jamačno da će dan Gospodnji doći kao lupež po noći. 3 Jer kad kažu: Mir je, i nema se šta bojati, onda će iznenada napasti na njih pogibao kao bol na trudnu ženu, i neće uteći. 4 Ali vi, braćo, niste u tami da vas dan kao lupež zastane. 5 Jer ste vi svi sinovi videla i sinovi dana: nismo noći niti tame. 6 Tako dakle da ne spavamo kao i ostali, nego da pazimo i da budemo trezni. 7 Jer koji spavaju, u noći spavaju, i koji se opijaju, u noći se opijaju. 8 Ali mi koji smo sinovi dana da budemo trezni i obučeni u oklop vere i ljubavi, i s kacigom nade spasenja; 9 jer nas Bog ne postavi za gnev, nego da dobijemo spasenje kroz Gospoda svog Isusa Hrista, 10 koji umre za nas da mi, stražili ili spavali, zajedno s Njim živimo. 11 Toga radi utešavajte jedan drugog, i popravljajte svaki bližnjeg, kao što i činite. 12 Molimo vas pak, braćo, prepoznajte one koji se trude među vama, i nastojnike svoje u Gospodu i učitelje svoje, 13 i imajte ih u izobilnoj ljubavi za delo njihovo. Budite mirni među sobom. 14 Molimo vas pak, braćo, poučavajte neuredne, utešavajte malodušne, branite slabe, snosite svakog. 15 Gledajte da niko ne vraća kome zla za zlo; 16 nego svagda idite za dobrim, i među sobom, prema svima. 17 Radujte se svagda. 18 Molite se Bogu bez prestanka. Na svačemu zahvaljujte; jer je ovo volja Božija u Hristu Isusu od vas. 19 Duha ne gasite. Proroštva ne prezirite. 20 A sve kušajući dobro držite. 21 Uklanjajte se od svakog zla. 22 A sam Bog mira da posveti vas cele u svačemu. 23 I ceo vaš duh i duša i telo da se sačuva bez krivice za dolazak Gospoda našeg Isusa Hrista. 24 Veran je Onaj koji vas dozva, koji će i učiniti. 25 Braćo! Molite se Bogu za nas. 26 Pozdravite braću svu celivom svetim. 27 Zaklinjem vas Gospodom da pročitate ovu poslanicu pred svom braćom svetom. 28 Blagodat Gospoda našeg Isusa Hrista s vama. Amin.

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 …
