| 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. |
| 4:2 | For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. |
| 4:3 | For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye 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 lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: |
| 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. |
| 4:7 | For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. |
| 4:8 | He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. |
| 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. |
| 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; |
| 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; |
| 4:12 | That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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: |
| 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. |
| 4:18 | Wherefore comfort one another with these words. |
| 4:1 | το λοιπον ουν αδελφοι ερωτωμεν υμας και παρακαλουμεν εν κυριω ιησου καθως παρελαβετε παρ ημων το πως δει υμας περιπατειν και αρεσκειν θεω ινα περισσευητε μαλλον |
| 4:2 | οιδατε γαρ τινας παραγγελιας εδωκαμεν υμιν δια του κυριου ιησου |
| 4:3 | τουτο γαρ εστιν θελημα του θεου ο αγιασμος υμων απεχεσθαι υμας απο της πορνειας |
| 4:4 | ειδεναι εκαστον υμων το εαυτου σκευος κτασθαι εν αγιασμω και τιμη |
| 4:5 | μη εν παθει επιθυμιας καθαπερ και τα εθνη τα μη ειδοτα τον θεον |
| 4:6 | το μη υπερβαινειν και πλεονεκτειν εν τω πραγματι τον αδελφον αυτου διοτι εκδικος ο κυριος περι παντων τουτων καθως και προειπαμεν υμιν και διεμαρτυραμεθα |
| 4:7 | ου γαρ εκαλεσεν ημας ο θεος επι ακαθαρσια αλλ εν αγιασμω |
| 4:8 | τοιγαρουν ο αθετων ουκ ανθρωπον αθετει αλλα τον θεον τον και δοντα το πνευμα αυτου το αγιον εις ημας |
| 4:9 | περι δε της φιλαδελφιας ου χρειαν εχετε γραφειν υμιν αυτοι γαρ υμεις θεοδιδακτοι εστε εις το αγαπαν αλληλους |
| 4:10 | και γαρ ποιειτε αυτο εις παντας τους αδελφους τους εν ολη τη μακεδονια παρακαλουμεν δε υμας αδελφοι περισσευειν μαλλον |
| 4:11 | και φιλοτιμεισθαι ησυχαζειν και πρασσειν τα ιδια και εργαζεσθαι ταις ιδιαις χερσιν υμων καθως υμιν παρηγγειλαμεν |
| 4:12 | ινα περιπατητε ευσχημονως προς τους εξω και μηδενος χρειαν εχητε |
| 4:13 | ου θελω δε υμας αγνοειν αδελφοι περι των κεκοιμημενων ινα μη λυπησθε καθως και οι λοιποι οι μη εχοντες ελπιδα |
| 4:14 | ει γαρ πιστευομεν οτι ιησους απεθανεν και ανεστη ουτως και ο θεος τους κοιμηθεντας δια του ιησου αξει συν αυτω |
| 4:15 | τουτο γαρ υμιν λεγομεν εν λογω κυριου οτι ημεις οι ζωντες οι περιλειπομενοι εις την παρουσιαν του κυριου ου μη φθασωμεν τους κοιμηθεντας |
| 4:16 | οτι αυτος ο κυριος εν κελευσματι εν φωνη αρχαγγελου και εν σαλπιγγι θεου καταβησεται απ ουρανου και οι νεκροι εν χριστω αναστησονται πρωτον |
| 4:17 | επειτα ημεις οι ζωντες οι περιλειπομενοι αμα συν αυτοις αρπαγησομεθα εν νεφελαις εις απαντησιν του κυριου εις αερα και ουτως παντοτε συν κυριω εσομεθα |
| 4:18 | ωστε παρακαλειτε αλληλους εν τοις λογοις τουτοις |
