1Th 4:1 Furthermore [3063] then [3767] we beseech [2065] (5719) you [5209], brethren [80], and [2532] exhort [3870] (5719) [you] by [1722] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424], that as [2531] ye have received [3880] (5627) of [3844] us [2257] how [4459] ye [5209] ought [1163] (5748) to walk [4043] (5721) and [2532] to please [700] (5721) God [2316], [so] [2443] ye would abound [4052] (5725) more and more [3123].
1Th 4:2 For [1063] ye know [1492] (5758) what [5101] commandments [3852] we gave [1325] (5656) you [5213] by [1223] the Lord [2962] Jesus [2424].
1Th 4:3 For [1063] this [5124] is [2076] (5748) the will [2307] of God [2316], [even] your [5216] sanctification [38], that ye [5209] should abstain [567] (5733) from [575] fornication [4202]:
1Th 4:4 That every one [1538] of you [5216] should know [1492] (5760) how to possess [2932] (5738) his [1438] vessel [4632] in [1722] sanctification [38] and [2532] honour [5092];
1Th 4:5 Not [3361] in [1722] the lust [3806] of concupiscence [1939], even [2532] as [2509] the Gentiles [1484] which [3588] know [1492] (5761) not [3361] God [2316]:
1Th 4:6 That no [3361] [man] go beyond [5233] (5721) and [2532] defraud [4122] (5721) his [846] brother [80] in [1722] [any] matter [4229]: because [1360] that the Lord [2962] is the avenger [1558] of [4012] all [3956] such [5130], as [2531] we [4277] [0] also [2532] have forewarned [4277] (5656) you [5213] and [2532] testified [1263] (5662).
1Th 4:7 For [1063] God [2316] hath [2564] [0] not [3756] called [2564] (5656) us [2248] unto [1909] uncleanness [167], but [235] unto [1722] holiness [38].
1Th 4:8 He therefore [5105] that despiseth [114] (5723), despiseth [114] (5719) not [3756] man [444], but [235] God [2316], who hath [1325] [0] also [2532] given [1325] (5631) unto [1519] us [2248] his [846] holy [40] Spirit [4151].
1Th 4:9 But [1161] as touching [4012] brotherly love [5360] ye need [2192] (5719) [5532] not [3756] that I write [1125] (5721) unto you [5213]: for [1063] ye [5210] yourselves [846] are [2075] (5748) taught of God [2312] to [1519] love [25] (5721) one another [240].
1Th 4:10 And [2532] indeed [1063] ye do [4160] (5719) it [846] toward [1519] all [3956] the brethren [80] which [3588] are in [1722] all [3650] Macedonia [3109]: but [1161] we beseech [3870] (5719) you [5209], brethren [80], that ye increase [4052] (5721) more and more [3123];
1Th 4:11 And [2532] that ye study [5389] (5738) to be quiet [2270] (5721), and [2532] to do [4238] (5721) your own business [2398], and [2532] to work with [2038] (5738) your [5216] own [2398] hands [5495], as [2531] we commanded [3853] (5656) you [5213];
1Th 4:12 That [2443] ye may walk [4043] (5725) honestly [2156] toward [4314] them that are without [1854], and [2532] that ye may have [2192] (5725) lack [5532] of nothing [3367].
1Th 4:13 But [1161] I would [2309] [0] not [3756] have [2309] (5719) you [5209] to be ignorant [50] (5721), brethren [80], concerning [4012] them which are asleep [2837] (5772), that [3363] [0] ye sorrow [3076] (5747) not [3363], even [2532] as [2531] others [3062] which [3588] have [2192] (5723) no [3361] hope [1680].
1Th 4:14 For [1063] if [1487] we believe [4100] (5719) that [3754] Jesus [2424] died [599] (5627) and [2532] rose again [450] (5627), even so [3779] them also [2532] which sleep [2837] (5685) in [1223] Jesus [2424] will [71] [0] God [2316] bring [71] (5692) with [4862] him [846].
1Th 4:15 For [1063] this [5124] we say [3004] (5719) unto you [5213] by [1722] the word [3056] of the Lord [2962], that [3754] we [2249] which [3588] are alive [2198] (5723) and remain [4035] (5742) unto [1519] the coming [3952] of the Lord [2962] shall [5348] [0] not [3364] prevent [5348] (5661) them which [3588] are asleep [2837] (5685).
1Th 4:16 For [3754] the Lord [2962] himself [846] shall descend [2597] (5695) from [575] heaven [3772] with [1722] a shout [2752], with [1722] the voice [5456] of the archangel [743], and [2532] with [1722] the trump [4536] of God [2316]: and [2532] the dead [3498] in [1722] Christ [5547] shall rise [450] (5698) first [4412]:
1Th 4:17 Then [1899] we [2249] which [3588] are alive [2198] (5723) and remain [4035] (5742) shall be caught up [726] (5691) together [260] with [4862] them [846] in [1722] the clouds [3507], to [1519] meet [529] the Lord [2962] in [1519] the air [109]: and [2532] so [3779] shall we [2071] [0] ever [3842] be [2071] (5704) with [4862] the Lord [2962].
1Th 4:18 Wherefore [5620] comfort [3870] (5720) one another [240] with [1722] these [5125] words [3056].
