帖前5:1 弟兄们，论到时候和日期，不用写什么给你们了。
帖前5:1 But about the times and their order, my brothers, there is no need for me to say anything to you.
帖前5:2 因为你们自己清楚知道，主的日子来到，就像夜间的贼来到一样。
帖前5:2 For you yourselves have the knowledge that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
帖前5:3 人正在说平安稳妥的时候，毁灭性的灾祸就突然临到他们，好像生产的痛苦临到怀胎的妇人一样，他们绝不能逃脱。
帖前5:3 When they say, There is peace and no danger, then sudden destruction will come on them, as birth-pains on a woman with child; and they will not be able to get away from it.
帖前5:4 但是弟兄们，你们不在黑暗里，以致那日子会临到你们像贼来到一样。
帖前5:4 But you, my brothers, are not in the dark, for that day to overtake you like a thief:
帖前5:5 你们都是光明之子、白昼之子；我们不是属于黑夜的，也不是属于黑暗的。
帖前5:5 For you are all sons of light and of the day: we are not of the night or of the dark.
帖前5:6 所以，我们不要沉睡像别人一样，总要警醒谨慎。
帖前5:6 So then, let us not take our rest as the others do, but let us be self-controlled and awake.
帖前5:7 因为睡觉的人是在晚上睡，醉酒的人是在晚上醉；
帖前5:7 For those who are sleeping do so in the night; and those who are the worse for drink are so in the night;
帖前5:8 但我们既然属于白昼，就应当谨慎，披上信和爱的胸甲，戴上救恩的盼望作头盔。
帖前5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be serious, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and on our heads, the hope of salvation.
帖前5:9 因为 神不是定意要我们受刑罚（“刑罚”原文作“忿怒”），而是要我们借着我们的主耶稣基督得着救恩。
帖前5:9 For God's purpose for us is not wrath, but salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
帖前5:10 基督替我们死，使我们无论是醒着或睡着，都和他一同活着。
帖前5:10 Who was put to death for us, so that, awake or sleeping, we may have a part in his life.
帖前5:11 所以，你们应该彼此劝慰，互相造就，正如你们一向所行的。
帖前5:11 So then, go on comforting and building up one another, as you have been doing.
帖前5:12 弟兄们，我们求你们要敬重那些在你们中间劳苦的人，就是在主里面治理你们、劝戒你们的人。
帖前5:12 But we make this request to you, my brothers: give attention to those who are working among you, who are over you in the Lord to keep order among you;
帖前5:13 又因为他们的工作，你们要用爱心格外尊重他们。你们应当彼此和睦。
帖前5:13 And have a high opinion of them in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
帖前5:14 弟兄们，我们劝你们，要警戒游手好闲的人，勉励灰心丧志的人，扶助软弱无力的人，也要容忍所有的人。
帖前5:14 And our desire is that you will keep control over those whose lives are not well ordered, giving comfort to the feeble-hearted, supporting those with little strength, and putting up with much from all.
帖前5:15 你们要注意，不管是谁都不要以恶报恶，却要在彼此相处和对待众人这方面，常常追求良善。
帖前5:15 Let no one give evil for evil; but ever go after what is good, for one another and for all.
帖前5:16 要常常喜乐，
帖前5:16 Have joy at all times.
帖前5:17 不住祷告，
帖前5:17 Keep on with your prayers.
帖前5:18 凡事谢恩；这就是 神在基督耶稣里给你们的旨意。
帖前5:18 In everything give praise: for this is the purpose of God in Christ Jesus for you.
帖前5:19 不要熄灭圣灵的感动。
帖前5:19 Do not put out the light of the Spirit;
帖前5:20 不要藐视先知的话语。
帖前5:20 Do not make little of the words of the prophets;
帖前5:21 凡事都要察验，好的要持守，
帖前5:21 Let all things be tested; keep to what is good;
帖前5:22 各样的恶事要远离。
帖前5:22 Keep from every form of evil.
帖前5:23 愿赐平安的 神亲自使你们完全成圣，又愿你们整个人：灵、魂和身体都得蒙保守，在我们的主耶稣基督再来的时候，无可指摘。
帖前5:23 And may the God of peace himself make you holy in every way; and may your spirit and soul and body be free from all sin at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
帖前5:24 那呼召你们的是信实的，他必成就这事。
帖前5:24 God, by whom you have been marked out in his purpose, is unchanging and will make it complete.
帖前5:25 弟兄们，请为我们祷告。
帖前5:25 Brothers, keep us in mind in your prayers.
帖前5:26 要用圣洁的亲嘴问候众弟兄。
帖前5:26 Give all the brothers a holy kiss.
帖前5:27 我凭着主吩咐你们，要把这封信读给众弟兄听。
帖前5:27 I give orders in the name of the Lord that all the brothers are to be present at the reading of this letter.
帖前5:28 愿我们主耶稣基督的恩惠与你们同在。
帖前5:28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
