1 Thessalonians 5:7

“Arise, shine; for your light has come, and Yahweh’s glory has risen on you.

Your dead shall live. My dead bodies shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is like the dew of herbs, and the earth will cast out the departed spirits.

so then let’s not sleep, as the rest do, but let’s watch and be sober.

Awake, awake! Put on your strength, Zion. Put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city: for from now on the uncircumcised and the unclean will no more come into you.

The night is far gone, and the day is near. Let’s therefore throw off the deeds of darkness, and let’s put on the armor of light.

Those who sin, reprove in the sight of all, that the rest also may be in fear.

Wine is a mocker and beer is a brawler. Whoever is led astray by them is not wise.

Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled; but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers.

In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.

My son, if sinners entice you, don’t consent.

Don’t be among ones drinking too much wine, or those who gorge themselves on meat:

Woe to those who are mighty to drink wine, and champions at mixing strong drink;

For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and he will drink no wine nor strong drink. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother’s womb.

They were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.

What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.

For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

Now I beg you, brothers, look out for those who are causing the divisions and occasions of stumbling, contrary to the doctrine which you learned, and turn away from them.

I wrote to you in my letter to have no company with sexual sinners;

But as it is, I wrote to you not to associate with anyone who is called a brother who is a sexual sinner, or covetous, or an idolater, or a slanderer, or a drunkard, or an extortionist. Don’t even eat with such a person.

He died for all, that those who live should no longer live to themselves, but to him who for their sakes died and rose again.

If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.

For these things’ sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

Lay hands hastily on no one. Don’t be a participant in other people’s sins. Keep yourself pure.

Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.

receiving the wages of unrighteousness; people who count it pleasure to revel in the daytime, spots and defects, reveling in their deceit while they feast with you;

“You and your sons are not to drink wine or strong drink whenever you go into the Tent of Meeting, or you will die. This shall be a statute forever throughout your generations.

“ ‘You shall not hate your brother in your heart. You shall surely rebuke your neighbor, and not bear sin because of him.

He said, “Now hear my words. If there is a prophet among you, I, Yahweh, will make myself known to him in a vision. I will speak with him in a dream.

Don’t envy the man of violence. Choose none of his ways.

Those who forsake the law praise the wicked; but those who keep the law contend with them.

“So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly.

For these aren’t drunken, as you suppose, seeing it is only the third hour of the day.

envy, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit God’s Kingdom.

Don’t be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,

Finally, brothers, whatever things are true, whatever things are honorable, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report: if there is any virtue and if there is any praise, think about these things.

that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.

but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who abolished death, and brought life and immortality to light through the Good News.

holding a form of godliness, but having denied its power. Turn away from these, also.

preach the word; be urgent in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort with all patience and teaching.

having good behavior among the nations, so in that of which they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they see, glorify God in the day of visitation.

Then the King will tell those on his right hand, ‘Come, blessed of my Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world;

But when he came to himself he said, ‘How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough to spare, and I’m dying with hunger!

for this, my son, was dead, and is alive again. He was lost, and is found.’ Then they began to celebrate.

They said therefore to him, “Where is your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither me nor my Father. If you knew me, you would know my Father also.”

Do this, knowing the time, that it is already time for you to awaken out of sleep, for salvation is now nearer to us than when we first believed.

I say this to move you to shame. Isn’t there even one wise man among you who would be able to decide between his brothers?

nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortionists, will inherit God’s Kingdom.

For in your eating each one takes his own supper first. One is hungry, and another is drunken.

Now I say this, brothers, that flesh and blood can’t inherit God’s Kingdom; neither does the perishable inherit imperishable.

seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.

For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

Outside are the dogs, the sorcerers, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood.

Yahweh God caused the man to fall into a deep sleep. As the man slept, he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.

Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him, and said to king Jehoshaphat, “Should you help the wicked, and love those who hate Yahweh? Because of this, wrath is on you from before Yahweh.

Stay away from a foolish man, for you won’t find knowledge on his lips.

He who is often rebuked and stiffens his neck will be destroyed suddenly, with no remedy.

“You shall not go into the house of feasting to sit with them, to eat and to drink.”

Let’s walk properly, as in the day; not in reveling and drunkenness, not in sexual promiscuity and lustful acts, and not in strife and jealousy.

Wake up righteously, and don’t sin, for some have no knowledge of God. I say this to your shame.

Have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even reprove them.

In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,

In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls on men, in slumbering on the bed;

But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My lord delays his coming,’ and begins to beat the menservants and the maidservants, and to eat and drink, and to be drunken,
