Book of 1 Thessalonians - Chapter 5 - Verse 1

5:1
But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you.

Meaning

Paul, in his letter to the Thessalonians, reassures them that there is no need for him to write about the specific times and seasons relating to the coming of the Lord. This statement implies that the Thessalonians were already well-informed about these matters, likely due to previous teachings they had received. Paul's intention here is to emphasize the importance of being alert and prepared at all times for the return of Jesus Christ, rather than getting caught up in trying to predict the exact timing of His coming. By stating that they do not need him to write about the times and seasons, Paul is reminding the Thessalonians to focus on living out their faith and spreading the gospel, rather than becoming preoccupied with prophetic speculations. This verse serves as a reminder to believers today to stay vigilant and faithful, always ready for the return of the Lord.
