1THE 4:1
1 Thessalonians 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. |
|
|
|
1THE 4:2
1 Thessalonians 4:2
|
|
For ye know what commandments we gave you by
the Lord Jesus. |
|
|
|
1THE 4:3
1 Thessalonians 4:3
|
|
For this is the will of God, even your sanctification,
that ye should abstain from fornication: |
|
|
|
1THE 4:4
1 Thessalonians 4:4
|
|
That every one of you should know how to possess
his vessel in sanctification and honour; |
|
|
|
1THE 4:5
1 Thessalonians 4:5
|
|
Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the
Gentiles which know not God: |
|
|
|
1THE 4:6
1 Thessalonians 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. |
|
|
|
1THE 4:7
1 Thessalonians 4:7
|
|
For God hath not called us unto uncleanness,
but unto holiness. |
|
|
|
1THE 4:8
1 Thessalonians 4:8
|
|
He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man,
but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. |
|
|
|
1THE 4:9
1 Thessalonians 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. |
|
|
|
1THE 4:10
1 Thessalonians 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; |
|
|
|
1THE 4:11
1 Thessalonians 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; |
|
|
|
1THE 4:12
1 Thessalonians 4:12
|
|
That ye may walk honestly toward them that are
without, and that ye may have lack of nothing. |
|
|
|
1THE 4:13
1 Thessalonians 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. |
|
|
|
1THE 4:14
1 Thessalonians 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. |
|
|
|
1THE 4:15
1 Thessalonians 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. |
|
|
|
1THE 4:16
1 Thessalonians 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: |
|
|
|
1THE 4:17
1 Thessalonians 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. |
|
|
|
1THE 4:18
1 Thessalonians 4:18
|
|
Wherefore comfort one another with these words. |
