NKJV Bible in 365 Days
The Day of the Lord and Watchfulness — November 30
1 Thessalonians 5
1 Thessalonians 5
1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you. 365N 334.1
2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. 365N 334.2
3 For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. 365N 334.3
4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake you as a thief. 365N 334.4
5 You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. 365N 334.5
6 Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be [a] sober. 365N 334.6
7 For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who get drunk are drunk at night. 365N 334.7
8 But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. 365N 334.8
9 For God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 365N 334.9
10 who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with Him. 365N 334.10
11 Therefore [b] comfort each other and [c] edify one another, just as you also are doing. 365N 334.11
12 And we urge you, brethren, to recognize those who labor among you, and are over you in the Lord and [d] admonish you, 365N 334.12
13 and to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. Be at peace among yourselves. 365N 334.13
14 Now we [e] exhort you, brethren, warn those who are [f] unruly, comfort the fainthearted, uphold the weak, be patient with all. 365N 334.14
15 See that no one renders evil for evil to anyone, but always pursue what is good both for yourselves and for all. 365N 334.15
16 Rejoice always, 365N 334.16
17 pray without ceasing, 365N 334.17
18 in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 365N 334.18
19 Do not quench the Spirit. 365N 334.19
20 Do not despise prophecies. 365N 334.20
21 Test all things; hold fast what is good. 365N 334.21
22 Abstain from every form of evil. 365N 334.22
23 Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify [g] you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 365N 334.23
24 He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it. 365N 334.24
25 Brethren, pray for us. 365N 334.25
26 Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss. 365N 334.26
27 I charge you by the Lord that this [h] epistle be read to all the [i] holy brethren. 365N 334.27
28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. 365N 334.28
