| 1st-Thessalonians 4:1 | For the rest, then, brethren, we beg you and exhort you in [the] Lord Jesus, even as ye have received from us how ye ought to walk and please God, even as ye also do walk, that ye would abound still more. | And last of all, the prayer which we make to you from our heart and in the name of the Lord Jesus, is this: that as we made clear to you what sort of behaviour is pleasing to God, as in fact you are doing now, so you will go on in these ways, but more and more. |
| 1st-Thessalonians 4:2 | For ye know what charges we gave you through the Lord Jesus. | Because you have in mind the orders we gave you through the Lord Jesus. |
| 1st-Thessalonians 4:3 | For this is [the] will of God, [even] your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication; | For the purpose of God for you is this: that you may be holy, and may keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh; |
| 1st-Thessalonians 4:4 | that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honour, | So that every one of you may keep his body holy and in honour; |
| 1st-Thessalonians 4:5 | (not in passionate desire, even as the nations who know not God,) | Not in the passion of evil desires, like the Gentiles, who have no knowledge of God; |
| 1st-Thessalonians 4:6 | not overstepping the rights of and wronging his brother in the matter, because the Lord [is] the avenger of all these things, even as we also told you before, and have fully testified. | And that no man may make attempts to get the better of his brother in business: for the Lord is the judge in all these things, as we said to you before and gave witness. |
| 1st-Thessalonians 4:7 | For God has not called us to uncleanness, but in sanctification. | Because it is God's purpose that our way of life may be not unclean but holy. |
| 1st-Thessalonians 4:8 | He therefore that [in this] disregards [his brother], disregards, not man, but God, who has given also his Holy Spirit to you. | Whoever, then, goes against this word, goes against not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you. |
| 1st-Thessalonians 4:9 | Now concerning brotherly love ye have no need that we should write to you, for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another. | But about loving the brothers, there is no need for me to say anything to you in this letter: for you have the teaching of God that love for one another is right and necessary; |
| 1st-Thessalonians 4:10 | For also ye do this towards all the brethren in the whole of Macedonia; but we exhort you, brethren, to abound still more, | And, truly, you are lovers of all the brothers in Macedonia; but it is our desire that your love may be increased still more; |
| 1st-Thessalonians 4:11 | and to seek earnestly to be quiet and mind your own affairs, and work with your [own] hands, even as we charged you, | And that you may take pride in being quiet and doing your business, working with your hands as we gave you orders; |
| 1st-Thessalonians 4:12 | that ye may walk reputably towards those without, and may have need of no one. | That you may be respected by those who are outside, and may have need of nothing. |
| 1st-Thessalonians 4:13 | But we do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them that are fallen asleep, to the end that ye be not grieved even as also the rest who have no hope. | But it is our desire, brothers, that you may be certain about those who are sleeping; so that you may have no need for sorrow, as others have who are without hope. |
| 1st-Thessalonians 4:14 | For if we believe that Jesus has died and has risen again, so also God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep through Jesus. | For if we have faith that Jesus underwent death and came back again, even so those who are sleeping will come again with him by God's power. |
| 1st-Thessalonians 4:15 | (For this we say to you in [the] word of [the] Lord, that *we*, the living, who remain to the coming of the Lord, are in no way to anticipate those who have fallen asleep; | For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are still living at the coming of the Lord, will not go before those who are sleeping. |
| 1st-Thessalonians 4:16 | for the Lord himself, with an assembling shout, with archangel's voice and with trump of God, shall descend from heaven; and the dead in Christ shall rise first; | Because the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a word of authority, with the voice of the chief angel, with the sound of a horn: and the dead in Christ will come to life first; |
| 1st-Thessalonians 4:17 | then *we*, the living who remain, shall be caught up together with them in [the] clouds, to meet the Lord in [the] air; and thus we shall be always with [the] Lord. | Then we who are still living will be taken up together with them into the clouds to see the Lord in the air: and so will we be for ever with the Lord. |
| 1st-Thessalonians 4:18 | So encourage one another with these words.) | So then, give comfort to one another with these words. |
