1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write to you.
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 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
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 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not 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.
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 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
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 Ye are all children of light, and children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
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 Therefore let us not sleep, as [do] others; but let us watch and be sober.
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 For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that are drunken, are drunken in the night.
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 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breast-plate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
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 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
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 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.
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 Wherefore, comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.
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 And we beseech you, brethren, to know them who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;
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 And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. [And] be at peace among yourselves.
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 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the weak, be patient towards all [men] .
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 See that none render evil for evil to any [man] ; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all [men] .
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 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
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 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
21 Examinadlo todo; retened lo bueno.
21 Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good.
22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.
22 Apartaos de toda especie de mal.
22 Abstain from every form of evil.
23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and [I pray God] your whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved blameless to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
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 Faithful [is] he that calleth you, who also will do [it] .
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 Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.
26 Saludad á todos los hermanos en ósculo santo.
26 Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss.
27 I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read to all the holy brethren.
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 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be] with you. Amen.
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 …
