46 First Thessalonians 4:1-18 ¹Furthermore 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. ²For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. ³For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: ⁴That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; ⁵Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: ⁶That 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. ⁷For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. ⁸He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. ⁹But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another. ¹⁰And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more; ¹¹And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; ¹²That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.

¹³But 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. ¹⁴For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. ¹⁵For 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. ¹⁶For 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: ¹⁷Then 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. ¹⁸Wherefore comfort one another with these words.(KJV)

46 First Thessalonians 4:1-18 ¹Furthermore 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. ²For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. ³For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: ⁴That every 1 of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; ⁵Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: ⁶That 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. ⁷For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. ⁸He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. ⁹But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love 1 another. ¹⁰And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more; ¹¹And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; ¹²That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.

46 First Thessalonians 4:1-18 ¹Finally then, brethren, we beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as ye received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, even as ye do walk, --that ye abound more and more. ²For ye know what charge we gave you through the Lord Jesus. ³For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication; ⁴that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor, ⁵not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who know not God; ⁶that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in the matter: because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified. ⁷For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification. ⁸Therefore he that rejecteth, rejecteth not man, but God, who giveth his Holy Spirit unto you. ⁹But concerning love of the brethren ye have no need that one write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another; ¹⁰for indeed ye do it toward all the brethren that are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brethren, that ye abound more and more; ¹¹and that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your hands, even as we charged you; ¹²that ye may walk becomingly toward them that are without, and may have need of nothing. ¹³But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them that fall asleep; that ye sorrow not, even as the rest, who have no hope. ¹⁴For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also that are fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with him. ¹⁵For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we that are alive, that are left unto the coming of the Lord, shall in no wise precede them that are fallen asleep. ¹⁶For 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; ¹⁷then we that are alive, that are left, shall together with them be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. ¹⁸Wherefore comfort one another with these words.(ASV)

46 First Thessalonians 4:1-18 ¹FROM this time forth, my brethren, we beseech you and entreat you earnestly by our Lord Jesus that as you have been taught by us how you ought to live and to please God, so you will increase more and more. ²For you know what commandments we gave you by our Lord Jesus. ³For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that you should abstain from fornication, ⁴That every one of you should know how to keep his possessions in sanctification and honour; ⁵And not through the passion of lust, even as the rest of the Gentiles who know not God; ⁶And that no man overreach to transgress and defraud his brother in this matter, because our Lord is the avenger of all such, as we have also forewarned you and testified. ⁷For God has not called you to uncleanness but to holiness. ⁸Therefore, he who does an injustice does not wrong man but God who has also given to you his Holy Spirit.

⁹¶ Now concerning brotherly love, you do not need me to write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another. ¹⁰And indeed you show it toward all the brethren who are in Macedonia; but I beseech you, my brethren, that you increase your love more and more; ¹¹And that you endeavor to be quiet and to do your own business and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, ¹²That you may lead a life of good example toward outsiders, so that you depend on no man.

¹³¶ Now I want you to know, my brethren, that you should not grieve over those who are dead, as those do who have no hope. ¹⁴For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so those who have died in Jesus, God will bring with him. ¹⁵For this we say to you by the very word of our Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of our Lord shall not overtake those who are dead. ¹⁶For our Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout and the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God; and those who died in Christ will rise first. ¹⁷Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet our Lord in the air; and so shall we ever be with our Lord. ¹⁸Therefore comfort one another, with these words. (LAM)

46 First Thessalonians 4:1-18 ¹Finally, brethren, we beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you learned from us how you ought to live and to please God, just as you are doing, you do so more and more. ²For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. ³For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from unchastity; ⁴that each one of you know how to take a wife for himself in holiness and honor, ⁵not in the passion of lust like heathen who do not know God; ⁶that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we solemnly forewarned you. ⁷For God has not called us for uncleanness, but in holiness. ⁸Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.

⁹But concerning love of the brethren you have no need to have any one write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another; ¹⁰and indeed you do love all the brethren throughout Macedo'nia. But we exhort you, brethren, to do so more and more, ¹¹to aspire to live quietly, to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, as we charged you; ¹²so that you may command the respect of outsiders, and be dependent on nobody.

¹³But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep, that you may not grieve as others do who have no hope. ¹⁴For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. ¹⁵For this we declare to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, shall not precede those who have fallen asleep. ¹⁶For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the archangel's call, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first; ¹⁷then we who are alive, who are left, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air; and so we shall always be with the Lord. ¹⁸Therefore comfort one another with these words.(RSV)

46 First Thessalonians 4:1-18 ¹Finally, brothers, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more. ²For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

³It is God's will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality; ⁴that each of you should learn to control his own body in a way that is holy and honorable, ⁵not in passionate lust like the heathen, who do not know God; ⁶and that in this matter no one should wrong his brother or take advantage of him. The Lord will punish men for all such sins, as we have already told you and warned you. ⁷For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. ⁸Therefore, he who rejects this instruction does not reject man but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.

⁹Now about brotherly love we do not need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love each other. ¹⁰And in fact, you do love all the brothers throughout Macedonia. Yet we urge you, brothers, to do so more and more.

¹¹Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, ¹²so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.

¹³Brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant about those who fall asleep, or to grieve like the rest of men, who have no hope. ¹⁴We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him. ¹⁵According to the Lord's own word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left till the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep. ¹⁶For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. ¹⁷After that, we who are still alive and are left will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord forever. ¹⁸Therefore encourage each other with these words.(NIV)

46 First Thessalonians 4:1-18 ¹Finally then, brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you_P received from us how you_P ought to walk and to please God, that you_P abound more and more. ²For you_P know what charge we gave you through the Lord Jesus. ³For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you_P abstain from sexual immorality, ⁴that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor, ⁵not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don't know God; ⁶that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified. ⁷For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification. ⁸Therefore he who rejects doesn't reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.

⁹But concerning brotherly love, you_P have no need that one write to you. For you_P yourselves are taught by God to love one another, ¹⁰for indeed you_P do it toward all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, that you_P abound more and more; ¹¹and that you_P make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we charged you; ¹²that you_P may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.

¹³But we don't want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you_P don't grieve like the rest, who have no hope. ¹⁴For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so those who have fallen asleep in Jesus will God bring with him. ¹⁵For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left to the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep. ¹⁶For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God's trumpet. The dead in Christ will rise first, ¹⁷then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever. ¹⁸Therefore comfort one another with these words.(WEB)

46 First Thessalonians 4:1-18 ¹Finally then, brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Yeshua, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, that you abound more and more. ²For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Yeshua. ³For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality, ⁴that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor, ⁵not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don't know God; ⁶that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified. ⁷For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification. ⁸Therefore he who rejects this doesn't reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.

⁹But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that one write to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another, ¹⁰for indeed you do it toward all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, that you abound more and more; ¹¹and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we instructed you; ¹²that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.

¹³But we don't want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those who have fallen asleep, so that you don't grieve like the rest, who have no hope. ¹⁴For if we believe that Yeshua died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Yeshua. ¹⁵For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left to the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede those who have fallen asleep. ¹⁶For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with God's shofar. The dead in Messiah will rise first, ¹⁷then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be with the Lord forever. ¹⁸Therefore comfort one another with these words.(WEB/HNV)

46 First Thessalonians 4:1-18 ¹FROM this time forth, my brothers, we beg you and ask you earnestly by our Lord Jesus that as you have been taught by us how you ought to live and to please God, so you will increase more and more. ²For you know what commandments we gave you by our Lord Jesus. ³For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that you should abstain from fornication, ⁴That each one of you should know how to keep his possessions in sanctification and honor; ⁵And not through the passion of lust, even as the rest of the Gentiles who do not know God; ⁶And that no man overreach to transgress and defraud his brother in this matter, because our Lord is the avenger of all such, as we have also forewarned you and testified. ⁷For God has not called you to uncleanness but to holiness. ⁸Therefore, he who does an injustice does not wrong man but God who has also given to you his Holy Spirit.

⁹Now concerning brotherly love, you do not need me to write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another. ¹⁰And indeed you show it toward all the brothers who are in Macedonia; but I beg you, my brothers, that you increase your love more and more; ¹¹And that you endeavor to be quiet and to do your own business and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, ¹²That you may lead a life of good example toward outsiders, so that you depend on no man.

¹³Now I want you to know, my brothers, that you should not grieve over those who are dead, as those do who have no hope. ¹⁴For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so those who have died in Jesus, God will bring with him.

¹⁵For this we say to you by the very word of our Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of our Lord will not overtake those who are dead. ¹⁶For our Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout and the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God; and those who died in Messiah will rise first. ¹⁷Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet our Lord in the air; and so will we ever be with our Lord. ¹⁸Therefore, comfort one another, with these words.
