PT1904 Patriarchal Text 1904 (accented, eBible edition)
1 Hermanos y hermanas, no necesitamos escribirles sobre los tiempos proféticos y las fechas.
1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have no need that anything be written to you.
1 Περὶ δὲ τῶν χρόνων καὶ τῶν καιρῶν, ἀδελφοί, οὐ χρείαν ἔχετε ὑμῖν γράφεσθαι·
2 Ustedes mismos saben bien que el día del Señor vendrá 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.
2 αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἀκριβῶς οἴδατε ὅτι ἡ ἡμέρα Κυρίου ὡς κλέπτης ἐν νυκτὶ οὕτως ἔρχεται.
3 Cuando la gente hable de paz y seguridad, de repente vendrá destrucción sobre ellos. Será como el inicio repentino de los dolores de parto, y ciertamente 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.
3 ὅταν γὰρ λέγωσιν, εἰρήνη καὶ ἀσφάλεια, τότε αἰφνίδιος αὐτοῖς ἐφίσταται ὄλεθρος, ὥσπερ ἡ ὠδὶν τῇ ἐν γαστρὶ ἐχούσῃ, καὶ οὐ μὴ ἐκφύγωσιν.
4 Pero ustedes, hermanos y hermanas, no están en tinieblas respecto a esto, de modo que no serán tomados por sorpresa cuando venga como ladrón en el Día del Juicio.
4 But you, brothers, aren’t in darkness, that the day should overtake you like a thief.
4 ὑμεῖς δέ, ἀδελφοί, οὐκ ἐστὲ ἐν σκότει, ἵνα ἡ ἡμέρα ὑμᾶς ὡς κλέπτης καταλάβῃ·
5 Porque ustedes son todos hijos de la luz e hijos del día. No pertenecemos a la noche ni a las tinieblas.
5 You are all children of light and children of the day. We don’t belong to the night, nor to darkness,
5 πάντες ὑμεῖς υἱοὶ φωτός ἐστε καὶ υἱοὶ ἡμέρας. οὐκ ἐσμὲν νυκτὸς οὐδὲ σκότους.
6 De modo que no deberíamos estar durmiendo como todos los demás, sino que debemos permanecer despiertos y mantener nuestra mente lúcida.
6 so then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober.
6 Ἄρα οὖν μὴ καθεύδωμεν ὡς καὶ οἱ λοιποί, ἀλλὰ γρηγορῶμεν καὶ νήφωμεν.
7 Porque en la noche es cuando la gente duerme; y es en la noche que se emborrachan.
7 For those who sleep, sleep in the night; and those who are drunk are drunk in the night.
7 οἱ γὰρ καθεύδοντες νυκτὸς καθεύδουσι, καὶ οἱ μεθυσκόμενοι νυκτὸς μεθύουσιν·
8 Pero como nosotros pertenecemos al día, debemos mantener nuestras mentes limpias, ceñidos con la coraza de fe y amor, y usando como casco la esperanza de la 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.
8 ὑμεῖς δὲ ἡμέρας ὄντες νήφωμεν, ἐνδυσάμενοι θώρακα πίστεως καὶ ἀγάπης καὶ περικεφαλαίαν ἐλπίδα σωτηρίας·
9 Porque Dios no nos ha puesto en sitio de castigo, sino que nos ha reservado para 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,
9 ὅτι οὐκ ἔθετο ἡμᾶς ὁ Θεὸς εἰς ὀργήν, ἀλλ᾽ εἰς περιποίησιν σωτηρίας διὰ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ,
10 Él es quien murió por nosotros para que, ya sea que vivamos o muramos, podamos vivir con él.
10 who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
10 τοῦ ἀποθανόντος ὑπὲρ ἡμῶν, ἵνα εἴτε γρηγορῶμεν εἴτε καθεύδωμεν ἅμα σὺν αὐτῷ ζήσωμεν.
11 Así que anímense y fortalézcanse unos a otros, como lo han venido haciendo.
11 Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, even as you also do.
11 Διὸ παρακαλεῖτε ἀλλήλους καὶ οἰκοδομεῖτε εἷς τὸν ἕνα, καθὼς καὶ ποιεῖτε.
12 Hermanos y hermanas, les pedimos que respeten a los que están con ustedes, a quienes los guían en el Señor y les enseñan.
12 But we beg you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and admonish you,
12 Ἐρωτῶμεν δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, εἰδέναι τοὺς κοπιῶντας ἐν ὑμῖν καὶ προϊσταμένους ὑμῶν ἐν Κυρίῳ καὶ νουθετοῦντας ὑμᾶς,
13 Deben valorarlos grandemente en amor por la obra 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.
13 καὶ ἡγεῖσθαι αὐτοὺς ὑπερεκπερισσοῦ ἐν ἀγάπῃ διὰ τὸ ἔργον αὐτῶν. εἰρηνεύετε ἐν ἑαυτοῖς.
14 Los exhortamos, hermanos y hermanas, a que adviertan a los que son perezosos, animen a los que están ansiosos, ayuden a los débiles, y sean pacientes con todos.
14 We exhort you, brothers: Admonish the disorderly; encourage the faint-hearted; support the weak; be patient toward all.
14 Παρακαλοῦμεν δὲ ὑμᾶς, ἀδελφοί, νουθετεῖτε τοὺς ἀτάκτους, παραμυθεῖσθε τοὺς ὀλιγοψύχους, ἀντέχεσθε τῶν ἀσθενῶν, μακροθυμεῖτε πρὸς πάντας.
15 Asegúrense de que ninguno de ustedes pague mal por mal, sino traten siempre de hacer el bien unos a otros.
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.
15 ὁρᾶτε μή τις κακὸν ἀντὶ κακοῦ τινι ἀποδῷ, ἀλλὰ πάντοτε τὸ ἀγαθὸν διώκετε καὶ εἰς ἀλλήλους καὶ εἰς πάντας.
16 Estén siempre llenos de alegría,
16 Always rejoice.
16 Πάντοτε χαίρετε,
17 nunca dejen de orar,
17 Pray without ceasing.
17 ἀδιαλείπτως προσεύχεσθε,
18 estén agradecidos en todas las situaciones, porque esto es lo que Dios quiere que hagan en Cristo Jesús.
18 In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.
18 ἐν παντὶ εὐχαριστεῖτε· τοῦτο γὰρ θέλημα Θεοῦ ἐν Χριστῷ Ἰησοῦ εἰς ὑμᾶς.
19 No refrenen al Espíritu,
19 Don’t quench the Spirit.
19 τὸ Πνεῦμα μὴ σβέννυτε,
20 no menosprecien la profecía,
20 Don’t despise prophecies.
20 προφητείας μὴ ἐξουθενεῖτε.
21 asegúrense de comprobarlo todo. Aférrense a todo lo que sea bueno;
21 Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good.
21 πάντα [δὲ] δοκιμάζετε, τὸ καλὸν κατέχετε·
22 y manténganse apartados de todo tipo de mal.
22 Abstain from every form of evil.
22 ἀπὸ παντὸς εἴδους πονηροῦ ἀπέχεσθε.
23 Que el mismo Dios de paz los santifique por completo, y que todo su ser—cuerpo, mente y espíritu—permanezca irreprochable para el regreso 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.
23 Αὐτὸς δὲ ὁ Θεὸς τῆς εἰρήνης ἁγιάσαι ὑμᾶς ὁλοτελεῖς, καὶ ὁλόκληρον ὑμῶν τὸ πνεῦμα καὶ ἡ ψυχὴ καὶ τὸ σῶμα ἀμέμπτως ἐν τῇ παρουσίᾳ τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ τηρηθείη.
24 Aquél que los llama es fiel, y cumplirá.
24 He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it.
24 πιστὸς ὁ καλῶν ὑμᾶς, ὃς καὶ ποιήσει.
25 Hermanos y hermanas, oren por nosotros.
25 Brothers, pray for us.
25 Ἀδελφοί, προσεύχεσθε περὶ ἡμῶν.
26 Saluden a todos los creyentes de allí con afecto.
26 Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
26 Ἀσπάσασθε τοὺς ἀδελφοὺς πάντας ἐν φιλήματι ἁγίῳ.
27 Les pido, por medio del Señor, que esta carta sea leída a todos los creyentes.
27 I solemnly command you by the Lord that this letter be read to all the holy brothers.
27 Ὁρκίζω ὑμᾶς τὸν Κύριον ἀναγνωσθῆναι τὴν ἐπιστολὴν πᾶσι τοῖς ἁγίοις ἀδελφοῖς.
28 Que la gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo esté con ustedes.
28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.
28 Ἡ χάρις τοῦ Κυρίου ἡμῶν Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ μεθ᾽ ὑμῶν· ἀμήν.

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 …
