Young's Literal Translation 1862
| 5:1 | And concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need of my writing to you, |
| 5:2 | for yourselves have known thoroughly that the day of the Lord as a thief in the night doth so come, |
| 5:3 | 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; |
| 5:4 | and ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day may catch you as a thief; |
| 5:5 | all ye are sons of light, and sons of day; we are not of night, nor of darkness, |
| 5:6 | so, then, we may not sleep as also the others, but watch and be sober, |
| 5:7 | for those sleeping, by night do sleep, and those making themselves drunk, by night are drunken, |
| 5:8 | 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, |
| 5:9 | because God did not appoint us to anger, but to the acquiring of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, |
| 5:10 | who did die for us, that whether we wake -- whether we sleep -- together with him we may live; |
| 5:11 | wherefore, comfort ye one another, and build ye up, one the one, as also ye do. |
| 5:12 | And we ask you, brethren, to know those labouring among you, and leading you in the Lord, and admonishing you, |
| 5:13 | and to esteem them very abundantly in love, because of their work; be at peace among yourselves; |
| 5:14 | and we exhort you, brethren, admonish the disorderly, comfort the feeble-minded, support the infirm, be patient unto all; |
| 5:15 | 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; |
| 5:16 | always rejoice ye; |
| 5:17 | continually pray ye; |
| 5:18 | in every thing give thanks, for this `is' the will of God in Christ Jesus in regard to you. |
| 5:19 | The Spirit quench not; |
| 5:20 | prophesyings despise not; |
| 5:21 | all things prove; that which is good hold fast; |
| 5:22 | from all appearance of evil abstain ye; |
| 5:23 | 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; |
| 5:24 | stedfast is He who is calling you, who also will do `it'. |
| 5:25 | Brethren, pray for us; |
| 5:26 | salute all the brethren in an holy kiss; |
| 5:27 | I charge you `by' the Lord, that the letter be read to all the holy brethren; |
| 5:28 | the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ `is' with you! Amen. |
Young's Literal Translation 1862
Young's Literal Translation is a translation of the Bible into English, published in 1862. The translation was made by Robert Young, compiler of Young's Analytical Concordance to the Bible and Concise Critical Comments on the New Testament. Young used the Textus Receptus and the Majority Text as the basis for his translation. He wrote in the preface to the first edition, "It has been no part of the Translator's plan to attempt to form a New Hebrew or Greek Text--he has therefore somewhat rigidly adhered to the received ones."
