1 Thessalonians 5

Gen Z: 1 Thessalonians 5

1Yo fam, you already know I ain't gotta tell you about the times and vibes.

2You know the day of the Lord's gonna hit like a thief in the night, no cap.

3When they say, "All good vibes and safety," sudden chaos pops off, like a laboring mom; they ain't escaping that.

4But y'all ain't in the dark, so that day won't catch you slippin' like a thief.

5You're all kids of the light and day; we ain't about that night or darkness life.

6So let’s not be snoozin’ like others; we gotta stay woke and chill.

7Those who sleep, sleep at night; and those who get lit, get lit at night.

8But we, who vibe with the day, gotta keep it real, rockin' faith and love like a breastplate, and hope for salvation as our helmet.

9God didn’t set us up for drama, but for that salvation through our dude, Jesus Christ.

10He died for us, so whether we’re awake or vibin’, we’re living life with Him, periodt.

11So vibe together and lift each other up, just like you already do, fr.

12Yo fam, we need you to recognize the ones grinding among you, the leaders in the Lord who keep it real.

13Show mad love for them because of their hustle. Keep the peace, no cap.

14We’re telling you, fam, check the unruly, hype up the anxious, support the weak, and be chill with everyone.

15Don’t throw shade back at anyone; always chase what’s good, both for yourselves and others.

16Stay lit with joy, always.

17Pray like it’s a full-time job, no stopping.

18In everything, give thanks; that's just how God rolls in Christ Jesus for you.

19Don’t dampen the Spirit, that’s sus.

20Don’t sleep on prophecies, keep it 100.

21Prove everything, fam; stick to what’s good, periodt.

22Stay away from anything sus, no cap.

23And the God of peace is gonna vibe-check you completely; I pray your spirit, soul, and body stay lit until our dude Jesus comes back.

24He’s faithful who called you, and you know he’s gonna pull through, fr.

25Yo fam, pray for us.

26Show love to all the homies with a holy kiss, no cap.

27I’m telling you, by the Lord, read this letter to all the holy crew.

28May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you, amen. This letter to the Thessalonians was written from Athens.

KJV: 1 Thessalonians 5

1But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

2For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

3For 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.

4But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.

5Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

6Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.

7For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.

8But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation.

9For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,

10Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

11Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

12And we beseech you, brethren, to know them which labour among you, and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you;

13And to esteem them very highly in love for their work’s sake. And be at peace among yourselves.

14Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all men.

15See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

16Rejoice evermore.

17Pray without ceasing.

18In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

19Quench not the Spirit.

20Despise not prophesyings.

21Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.

22Abstain from all appearance of evil.

23And 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.

24Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.

25Brethren, pray for us.

26Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.

27I charge you by the Lord that this epistle be read unto all the holy brethren.

28The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. The first epistle unto the Thessalonians was written from Athens.
