  1st Thessalonians   chapter 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.
      2 For ye know what commandments we gave you by
     the Lord Jesus.
      3 For this is the will of God, even your
     sanctification, that ye should abstain from
     fornication:
      4 That every one of you should know how to
     possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
      5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the
     Gentiles which know not God:
      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.
      7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness,
     but unto holiness.
      8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not
     man, but God, who hath also given unto us his
     holy Spirit.
      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.
     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;
     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;
     12 That ye may walk honestly toward them that
     are without, and that ye may have lack of
     nothing.
     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.
     14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose
     again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus
     will God bring with him.
     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.
     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:
     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.
     18 Wherefore comfort one another with these
     words.
