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
.
strkjv@1Thessalonians:4:2
@
For
ye
know
what
commandments
we
gave
you
by
the
Lord
Jesus
.
strkjv@1Thessalonians:4:3
@
For
this
is
the
will
of
God
, even
your
sanctification
, that
ye
should
abstain
from
fornication
:
strkjv@1Thessalonians:4:4
@ That every
one
of
you
should
know
how to
possess
his
vessel
in
sanctification
and
honour
;
strkjv@1Thessalonians:4:5
@
Not
in
the
lust
of
concupiscence
,
even
as
the
Gentiles
which
know
not
God
:
strkjv@1Thessalonians: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
.
strkjv@1Thessalonians:4:7
@
For
God
hath
not
called
us
unto
uncleanness
,
but
unto
holiness
.
strkjv@1Thessalonians:4:8
@ He
therefore
that
despiseth
,
despiseth
not
man
,
but
God
, who
hath
also
given
unto
us
his
holy
Spirit
.
strkjv@1Thessalonians: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
.
strkjv@1Thessalonians: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
;
strkjv@1Thessalonians: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
;
strkjv@1Thessalonians:4:12
@
That
ye may
walk
honestly
toward
them that are
without
,
and
that ye may
have
lack
of
nothing
.
strkjv@1Thessalonians: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
.
strkjv@1Thessalonians: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
.
strkjv@1Thessalonians: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
.
strkjv@1Thessalonians: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
:
strkjv@1Thessalonians: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

comfort
one

these
words

strkjv@1Thessalonians:5:1
@
But
of
the
times
and
the
seasons
,
brethren
, ye
have
no
need
that I
write
unto
you
.
strkjv@1Thessalonians:5:2
@
For
yourselves
know
perfectly
that
the
day
of the
Lord
so
cometh
as
a
thief
in
the
night
.
strkjv@1Thessalonians:5:3
@
For
when
they shall
say
,
Peace
and
safety
;
then
sudden
destruction
cometh
upon
them
,
as
travail
upon
a woman with
child
;
and
they
shall
not
escape
.
strkjv@1Thessalonians:5:4
@

ye
,

not

let us
watch

be
sober

strkjv@1Thessalonians:5:7

sleep

let
us

sober

faith

for an
helmet

hope

salvation

strkjv@1Thessalonians:5:9
