1 περι δε των χρονων και των καιρων αδελφοι ου χρειαν εχετε υμιν γραφεσθαι
Concerning now the times and the seasons, brothers, no need you have to you to be written;
2 αυτοι γαρ ακριβωσ οιδατε οτι η ημερα κυριου ωσ κλεπτησ εν νυκτι ουτωσ ερχεται
Yourselves for fully you know that (the *k) day of [the] Lord as a thief by night in this manner comes;
3 οταν γαρ λεγωσιν ειρηνη και ασφαλεια τοτε αιφνιδιοσ αυτοισ εφισταται ολεθροσ ωσπερ η ωδιν τη εν γαστρι εχουση και ου μη εκφυγωσιν
when (for *k) they may say; Peace and security, then suddenly upon them comes destruction as the labor pains to her in womb [pregnancy] having, and certainly not shall they escape.
4 υμεισ δε αδελφοι ουκ εστε εν σκοτει ινα η ημερα υμασ ωσ κλεπτησ καταλαβη
You yourselves however, brothers, not are in darkness, that the day you like (a thief *NK+O) may grasp;
5 παντεσ υμεισ υιοι φωτοσ εστε και υιοι ημερασ ουκ εσμεν νυκτοσ ουδε σκοτουσ

6 αρα ουν μη καθευδωμεν ωσ και οι λοιποι αλλα γρηγορωμεν και νηφωμεν
So then not we may sleep as (also *k) the others but we may watch and we may be sober.
7 οι γαρ καθευδοντεσ νυκτοσ καθευδουσιν και οι μεθυσκομενοι νυκτοσ μεθυουσιν
Those for sleeping by night sleep and those becoming drunk by night get drunk;
8 ημεισ δε ημερασ οντεσ νηφωμεν ενδυσαμενοι θωρακα πιστεωσ και αγαπησ και περικεφαλαιαν ελπιδα σωτηριασ
We ourselves however of [the] day being may be sober having put on [the] breastplate of faith and love and [the] helmet [the] hope of salvation;
9 οτι ουκ εθετο ημασ ο θεοσ εισ οργην αλλ εισ περιποιησιν σωτηριασ δια του κυριου ημων ιησου χριστου
