3:8. Because now we live, if you stand in the Lord.
3:9. For what thanks can we return to God for you, in all the joy
wherewith we rejoice for you before our God,
3:10. Night and day more abundantly praying that we may see your face
and may accomplish those things that are wanting to your faith?
3:11. Now God himself and our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, direct
our way unto you.
3:12. And may the Lord multiply you and make you abound in charity
towards one another and towards all men: as we do also towards you,
3:13. To confirm your hearts without blame, in holiness, before God and
our Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, with all his saints.
Amen.
1 Thessalonians Chapter 4
He exhorts them to purity and mutual charity. He treats of the
resurrection of the dead.
4:1. For the rest therefore, brethren, pray and beseech you in the Lord
Jesus that, as you have received from us, how you ought to walk and to
please God, so also you would walk, that you may abound the more.
4:2. For you know what precepts I have given to you by the Lord Jesus.
4:3. For this is the will of God, your sanctification: That you 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 passion of lust, like the Gentiles that know not God:
4:6. And that no man overreach nor circumvent his brother in business:
because the Lord is the avenger of all these things, as we have told you
before and have testified.
4:7. For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto
sanctification.
4:8. Therefore, he that despiseth these things, despiseth not man, but
God, who also hath given his holy Spirit in us.
4:9. But as touching the charity of brotherhood, we have no need to
write to you: for yourselves have learned of God to love one another.
4:10. For indeed you do it towards all the brethren in all Macedonia.
But we entreat you, brethren, that you abound more:
4:11. And that you use your endeavour to be quiet: and that you do your
own business and work with your own hands, as we commanded you: and that
you walk honestly towards them that are without: and that you want
nothing of any man's.
4:12. And we will not have you ignorant brethren, concerning them that
are asleep, that you be not sorrowful, even as others who have no hope.
4:13. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again: even so them who
have slept through Jesus, will God bring with him.
4:14. For this we say unto you in the word of the Lord, that we who are
alive, who remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them
who have slept.
4:15. For the Lord himself shall come down from heaven with commandment
and with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God: and the
dead who are in Christ shall rise first.
4:16. Then we who are alive, who are left, shall be taken up together
with them in the clouds to meet Christ, into the air: and so shall we be
always with the Lord.
4:17. Wherefore, comfort ye one another with these words.
1 Thessalonians Chapter 5
