A    noteOf the tymes and seasons brethr&ebar; ye haue no nede, that I wryte vnto you: for ye youre selues knowe perfectly that the daie of the Lorde shall come euen as a thefe in the nyght. When they shal say peace and no daunger, then commeth on them sod&ebar; destruccion, as the trauaylynge of a woman wyth chyld, and they shal not escape. But ye brethren are not in darckenes, that that daye shoulde come on you as it were a thefe. &cross2; Ye are all the chyldren of lyght and the chyldren of the daye. We are not of the nyghte neither of darckenes.

B   &rhand; Therfore let vs not slepe as do other: but let vs watche ∧ be sober. noteFor they that slepe, slepe in the nyght: and they that be droncken, are droncken in the nyght. noteBut let vs whiche are of the daye, be sober, armed wyth þe; breste plate of fayth and loue, and wyth hope of saluacyon as an helmet. For God hath not annoynted vs vnto wrath: but to obtayne saluacyon by the meanes of oure Lord Iesu Christ whyche dyed for vs: that whether we wake or slepe, we shoulde liue together wyth hym.

noteWherfore comforte your selues together, and edifye one another, euen as ye do. &cross3;

C   &rhand; We beseche you brethren, that ye knowe them, whiche laboure amonge you, and haue the ouersight of you in the Lord and geue you exhortacyon, that ye haue them the more in loue for theyr workes sake, and be at peace wyth them. &cross2; We desyre you brethr&ebar;, warne them that are vnruly, comforte the feble minded, forbeare the weake, haue contynuall pacience towarde all men. Se that none recompence euyll for euyll vnto any man: but euer folowe that which is good, both among your selues, and to all men. Reioyse euer. 05Q1484Praye contynuallye. noteIn all thinges geue thankes. For thys is the wyll of God in Christe Iesu towarde you.

D    note&rhand; Quenche not the05Q1485 spyryte. Despyse not prophesyenge. Examen all thinges, and kepe that which is good. Absteyne from all suspicious thinges. The very God of peace sanctifye you thorowout. noteAnd I praye God that your whole spyryte, soule and bodye, be kept faultles vnto the comming of oure Lorde Iesus Christe. &cross3; Faythfull is he whiche called you: which wyl also do it. Brethren, praye for vs. Grete all the brethren wyth an holy kysse. I charge you in the Lorde, that thys Epistle be read vnto all the holy brethren. The grace of the Lord Iesus Christ be wyth you.
