1 And concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need of my writing to you,
1 EMPERO acerca de los tiempos y de los momentos, no tenéis, hermanos, necesidad de que yo os escriba:
2 for yourselves have known thoroughly that the day of the Lord as a thief in the night doth so come,
2 Porque vosotros sabéis bien, que el día del Señor vendrá así como ladrón de noche,
3 for when they may say, Peace and surety, then sudden destruction doth stand by them, as the travail [doth] her who is 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.
4 and ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day may catch you as a thief;
4 Mas vosotros, hermanos, no estáis en tinieblas, para que aquel día os sobrecoja como ladrón;
5 all ye are sons of light, and sons of day; we are not of 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.
6 so, then, we may not sleep as also the others, but watch and be sober,
6 Por tanto, no durmamos como los demás; antes velemos y seamos sobrios.
7 for those sleeping, by night do sleep, and those making themselves drunk, by night are drunken,
7 Porque los que duermen, de noche duermen; y los que están borrachos, de noche están borrachos.
8 and we, being of the day — let us be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and an helmet — a 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.
9 because God did not appoint us to anger, but to the acquiring of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
9 Porque no nos ha puesto Dios para ira, sino para alcanzar salud por nuestro Señor Jesucristo;
10 who did die for us, that whether we wake — whether we sleep — together with him we may live;
10 El cual murió por nosotros, para que ó que velemos, ó que durmamos, vivamos juntamente con él.
11 wherefore, comfort ye one another, and build ye up, one the one, 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.
12 And we ask you, brethren, to know those labouring among you, and leading you in the Lord, and admonishing you,
12 Y os rogamos, hermanos, que reconozcáis á los que trabajan entre vosotros, y os presiden en el Señor, y os amonestan:
13 and to esteem them very abundantly in love, because of their work; 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.
14 and we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the infirm, be patient unto all;
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.
15 see no one evil for evil may render to any one, but always that which is good pursue ye, both to one another and to all;
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.
16 always rejoice ye;
16 Estad siempre gozosos.
17 continually pray ye;
17 Orad sin cesar.
18 in every thing give thanks, for this [is] the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you.
18 Dad gracias en todo; porque esta es la voluntad de Dios para con vosotros en Cristo Jesús.
19 The Spirit quench not;
19 No apaguéis el Espíritu.
20 prophesyings despise not;
20 No menospreciéis las profecías.
21 all things prove; that which is good hold fast;
21 Examinadlo todo; retened lo bueno.
22 from all appearance of evil abstain ye;
22 Apartaos de toda especie de mal.
23 and the God of the peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your whole spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved unblameably in the presence 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.
24 stedfast is He who is calling you, who also will do [it].
24 Fiel es el que os ha llamado; el cual también [lo] hará.
25 Brethren, pray for us;
25 Hermanos, orad por nosotros.
26 salute all the brethren in an holy kiss;
26 Saludad á todos los hermanos en ósculo santo.
27 I charge you [by] the Lord, that the letter be read to all the holy brethren;
27 Conjúroos por el Señor, que esta carta sea leída á todos los santos hermanos.
28 the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [is] with you! Amen.
28 La gracia de nuestro Señor Jesucristo sea con vosotros. Amén. La primera [epístola] á los Tesalonicenses fué escrita de Atenas.

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 …
