[[new testament:interlinear:1Thessalonians4-2|2]] For you know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. [[new testament:interlinear:1Thessalonians4-3|3]] For this is the will of God, [(//even//)] your sanctification, that you should abstain from fornication: [[new testament:interlinear:1Thessalonians4-4|4]] That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; [[new testament:interlinear:1Thessalonians4-5|5]] Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: [[new testament:interlinear:1Thessalonians4-6|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. [[new testament:interlinear:1Thessalonians4-7|7]] For God hath not called us to uncleanness, but to holiness. [[new testament:interlinear:1Thessalonians4-8|8]] He therefore that despises, despises not man, but God, who hath also given to us his holy Spirit. [[new testament:interlinear:1Thessalonians4-9|9]] But as touching brotherly love you need not that I write to you: for you yourselves are taught of God to love one another. [[new testament:interlinear:1Thessalonians4-10|10]] And indeed you do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that you increase more and more; [[new testament:interlinear:1Thessalonians4-11|11]] And that you study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; [[new testament:interlinear:1Thessalonians4-12|12]] That you may walk honestly toward them that are without, and [(//that//)] you may have lack of nothing. [[new testament:interlinear:1Thessalonians4-13|13]] But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that you sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. [[new testament:interlinear:1Thessalonians4-14|14]] For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. [[new testament:interlinear:1Thessalonians4-15|15]] For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [(//and//)] remain to the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. [[new testament:interlinear:1Thessalonians4-16|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: [[new testament:interlinear:1Thessalonians4-17|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. [[new testament:interlinear:1Thessalonians4-18|18]] Wherefore comfort one another with these words. ---- [[http://christopedia.eu|{{:new_testament:matthew:matthew:chapters:home-icon.png?15|home}}]] Chapters: [[new testament:1thessalonians:1thessalonians:chapters:chapter1|1]] [[new testament:1thessalonians:1thessalonians:chapters:chapter2|2]] [[new testament:1thessalonians:1thessalonians:chapters:chapter3|3]] [[new testament:1thessalonians:1thessalonians:chapters:chapter4|4]] [[new testament:1thessalonians:1thessalonians:chapters:chapter5|5]] {{like>}}
