About 1 Thessalonians 5"The day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night," but believers are "children of light," so they are to "watch and be sober," wearing "the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation," for "God hath not appointed us to wrath." Paul asks them to "know them which labour among you" and "esteem them very highly in love," and to support the weak and be patient with all. He closes with short commands, to rejoice evermore, pray without ceasing and "in every thing give thanks," and a prayer that God would "sanctify you wholly." 1 Thessalonians 5:21 Thessalonians 5:51 Thessalonians 5:61 Thessalonians 5:81 Thessalonians 5:91 Thessalonians 5:121 Thessalonians 5:141 Thessalonians 5:161 Thessalonians 5:171 Thessalonians 5:181 Thessalonians 5:231 Thessalonians overview1 Thessalonians 5:13
