But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

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.

Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

And to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. And be at peace among yourselves.

See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

Pray without ceasing.

Quench not the Spirit.

Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Brethren, pray for us.

I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.
