1 Thessalonians 4
|
- 4:1
Furthermore
then we
beseech
you,
brethren,
and
exhort you
by the
Lord
Jesus, that
as ye have
received
of
us
how
ye
ought to
walk
and to
please
God,
so ye would
abound more and
more.
|
- 4:2
For ye
know
what
commandments we
gave
you
by the
Lord
Jesus.
|
- 4:3
For
this
is the
will of
God, even
your
sanctification, that
ye should
abstain
from
fornication:
|
- 4:4 That every
one of
you should
know how to
possess
his
vessel
in
sanctification
and
honour;
|
- 4:5
Not
in the
lust of
concupiscence,
even
as the
Gentiles
which
know
not
God:
|
- 4:6 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.
|
- 4:7
For
God
hath
not
called
us
unto
uncleanness,
but
unto
holiness.
|
- 4:8 He
therefore that
despiseth,
despiseth
not
man,
but
God, who
hath
also
given
unto
us
his
holy
Spirit.
|
- 4:9
But as
touching brotherly
love ye
need
*
not that I
write unto
you:
for
ye
yourselves
are taught of
God
to
love one
another.
|
- 4:10
And
indeed ye
do
it
toward
all the
brethren
which are
in
all
Macedonia:
but we
beseech
you,
brethren, that ye
increase more and
more;
|
- 4:11
And that ye
study to be
quiet,
and to
do your own
business,
and to work
with
your
own
hands,
as we
commanded
you;
|
- 4:12
That ye may
walk
honestly
toward them that are
without,
and that ye may
have
lack of
nothing.
|
- 4:13
But I
would
not
have
you to be
ignorant,
brethren,
concerning them which are
asleep,
that ye
sorrow
not,
even
as
others
which
have
no
hope.
|
- 4:14
For
if we
believe
that
Jesus
died
and rose
again, even
so them
also which
sleep
in
Jesus
will
God
bring
with
him.
|
- 4:15
For
this we
say unto
you
by the
word of the
Lord,
that
we
which are
alive and
remain
unto the
coming of the
Lord
shall
not
prevent them
which are
asleep.
|
- 4:16
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:
|
- 4:17
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.
|
- 4:18
Wherefore
comfort one
another
with
these
words.
