WORD Research this...1 Thessalonians 5
- 1 But about the times and their order, my brothers, there is no need for me to say anything to you.
- 2 For you yourselves have the knowledge that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.
- 3 When they say, There is peace and no danger, then sudden destruction will come on them, as birth-pains on a woman with child; and they will not be able to get away from it.
- 4 But you, my brothers, are not in the dark, for that day to overtake you like a thief:
- 5 For you are all sons of light and of the day: we are not of the night or of the dark.
- 6 So then, let us not take our rest as the others do, but let us be self-controlled and awake.
- 7 For those who are sleeping do so in the night; and those who are the worse for drink are so in the night;
- 8 But let us, who are of the day, be serious, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and on our heads, the hope of salvation.
- 9 For God's purpose for us is not wrath, but salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
- 10 Who was put to death for us, so that, awake or sleeping, we may have a part in his life.
- 11 So then, go on comforting and building up one another, as you have been doing.
- 12 But we make this request to you, my brothers: give attention to those who are working among you, who are over you in the Lord to keep order among you;
- 13 And have a high opinion of them in love because of their work. Be at peace among yourselves.
- 14 And our desire is that you will keep control over those whose lives are not well ordered, giving comfort to the feeble-hearted, supporting those with little strength, and putting up with much from all.
- 15 Let no one give evil for evil; but ever go after what is good, for one another and for all.
- 16 Have joy at all times.
- 17 Keep on with your prayers.
- 18 In everything give praise: for this is the purpose of God in Christ Jesus for you.
- 19 Do not put out the light of the Spirit;
- 20 Do not make little of the words of the prophets;
- 21 Let all things be tested; keep to what is good;
- 22 Keep from every form of evil.
- 23 And may the God of peace himself make you holy in every way; and may your spirit and soul and body be free from all sin at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
- 24 God, by whom you have been marked out in his purpose, is unchanging and will make it complete.
- 25 Brothers, keep us in mind in your prayers.
- 26 Give all the brothers a holy kiss.
- 27 I give orders in the name of the Lord that all the brothers are to be present at the reading of this letter.
- 28 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.

Basic Hash Usage Explained
At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.
We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.
Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.
Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.
Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.
The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.
We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.
Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
