1. list Sonúnčanom

1 (KAT) Napokon vás teda, bratia, prosíme a napomíname v Pánu Ježišovi, aby ste čoraz viac rástli v tom, čo ste od nás prijali: ako máte žiť a páčiť sa Bohu, ako aj žijete.
1 (VUL) De cetero ergo, fratres, rogamus vos et obsecramus in Domino Iesu, ut — quemadmodum accepistis a nobis quomodo vos oporteat ambulare et placere Deo, sicut et ambulatis — ut abundetis magis.
1 (UKJV) Furthermore then we plead to you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as all of you have received of us how all of you ought to walk and to please God, so all of you would abound more and more.

2 (KAT) Veď viete, aké príkazy sme vám dali z moci Pána Ježiša.
2 (VUL) Scitis enim, quae praecepta dederimus vobis per Dominum Iesum.
2 (UKJV) For all of you know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

3 (KAT) Lebo to je Božia vôľa, vaše posvätenie:
3 (VUL) Haec est enim voluntas Dei, sanctificatio vestra,
3 (UKJV) For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that all of you should abstain from fornication:

4 (KAT) aby ste sa zdržiavali smilstva a aby každý z vás vedel mať svoju nádobu vo svätosti a v úcte,
4 (VUL) ut abstineatis a fornicatione; ut sciat unusquisque vestrum suum vas possidere in sanctificatione et honore,
4 (UKJV) "That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; "

5 (KAT) nie v náruživej žiadostivosti ako pohania, ktorí nepoznajú Boha,
5 (VUL) non in passione desiderii, sicut et gentes, quae ignorant Deum;
5 (UKJV) Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

6 (KAT) aby nik v tejto veci nevybočil z medzí a nepodvádzal svojho brata, lebo Pán sa za to všetko pomstí, ako sme vám už povedali a dosvedčili.
6 (VUL) ut ne quis supergrediatur neque circumveniat in negotio fratrem suum, quoniam vindex est Dominus de his omnibus, sicut et praediximus vobis et testificati sumus.
6 (UKJV) That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

7 (KAT) Veď Boh nás nepovolal pre nečistotu, ale pre posvätenie.
7 (VUL) Non enim vocavit nos Deus in immunditiam sed in sanctificationem.
7 (UKJV) For God has not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

8 (KAT) A kto týmto pohŕda, nepohŕda človekom, ale Bohom, ktorý vám dáva aj svojho Svätého Ducha.
8 (VUL) Itaque, qui spernit, non hominem spernit sed Deum, qui etiam dat Spiritum suum Sanctum in vos.
8 (UKJV) He therefore that despises, despises not man, but God, who has also given unto us his holy Spirit. (o. pneuma)

9 (KAT) O bratskej láske vám netreba písať, veď vás sám Boh poučil, aby ste sa milovali navzájom.
9 (VUL) De caritate autem fraternitatis non necesse habetis, ut vobis scribam; ipsi enim vos a Deo edocti estis, ut diligatis invicem;
9 (UKJV) But as concerning brotherly love all of you need not that I write unto you: for all of you yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

10 (KAT) A vy to aj robíte všetkým bratom po celom Macedónsku. Len vás, bratia, prosíme, aby ste v tom čoraz viac rástli
10 (VUL) etenim facitis illud in omnes fratres in universa Macedonia. Rogamus autem vos, fratres, ut abundetis magis;
10 (UKJV) "And indeed all of you do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we plead to you, brethren, that all of you increase more and more; "

11 (KAT) a usilovali sa žiť pokojne, plniť si povinnosti a pracovať vlastnými rukami, ako sme vám prikázali;
11 (VUL) et operam detis, ut quieti sitis et ut vestrum negotium agatis et operemini manibus vestris, sicut praecipimus vobis;
11 (UKJV) "And that all of you study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; "

12 (KAT) aby ste sa počestne správali voči tým, čo sú mimo, a aby ste nemuseli od nikoho nič žiadať.
12 (VUL) ut honeste ambuletis ad eos, qui foris sunt, et nullius aliquid desideretis.
12 (UKJV) That all of you may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that all of you may have lack of nothing.

13 (KAT) Nechceme, bratia, aby ste nevedeli, ako je to so zosnulými, aby ste sa nezarmucovali ako ostatní, čo nemajú nádej.
13 (VUL) Nolumus autem vos ignorare, fratres, de dormientibus, ut non contristemini sicut et ceteri, qui spem non habent.
13 (UKJV) But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that all of you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

14 (KAT) Lebo ak veríme, že Ježiš zomrel a vstal z mŕtvych, tak Boh aj tých, čo zosnuli, skrze Ježiša privedie s ním.
14 (VUL) Si enim credimus quod Iesus mortuus est et resurrexit, ita et Deus eos, qui dormierunt, per Iesum adducet cum eo.
14 (UKJV) For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

15 (KAT) Toto vám hovoríme podľa Pánovho slova: My, čo žijeme a zostaneme až do Pánovho príchodu, nepredídeme tých, čo zosnuli.
15 (VUL) Hoc enim vobis dicimus in verbo Domini, quia nos, qui vivimus, qui relinquimur in adventum Domini, non praeveniemus eos, qui dormierunt;
15 (UKJV) For this we say unto you by the word (o. logos) of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

16 (KAT) Lebo na povel, na hlas archanjela a zvuk Božej poľnice sám Pán zostúpi z neba a tí, čo umreli v Kristovi, vstanú prví.
16 (VUL) quoniam ipse Dominus in iussu, in voce archangeli et in tuba Dei descendet de caelo, et mortui, qui in Christo sunt, resurgent primi;
16 (UKJV) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 (KAT) Potom my, čo žijeme a zostaneme, budeme spolu s nimi v oblakoch uchvátení do vzduchu v ústrety Pánovi, a tak budeme navždy s Pánom.
17 (VUL) deinde nos, qui vivimus, qui relinquimur, simul rapiemur cum illis in nubibus obviam Domino in aera, et sic semper cum Domino erimus.
17 (UKJV) Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 (KAT) Preto sa potešujte navzájom týmito slovami!
18 (VUL) Itaque consolamini invicem in verbis istis.
18 (UKJV) Wherefore comfort one another with these words. (o. logos)
