noyes - 1Thessalonians:4:13-5:11

noyes@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ But we would not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are sleeping, that ye may not sorrow, as others do, who have no hope.

noyes@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, then also will God, through Jesus, bring again with him those who have fallen asleep.

noyes@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ For this we say to you in the word of the Lord, that we who are living, we who are left till the coming of the Lord, shall not anticipate those who have fallen asleep.

noyes@1Thessalonians:4:16 @ For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a loud summons, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first;

noyes@1Thessalonians:4:17 @ then we who are living, we who are left, shall be caught up together with them in clouds, to meet the Lord in the air; and so shall we be ever with the Lord.

noyes@1Thessalonians:4:18 @ So then comfort one another with these words.

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, there is no need of writing to you;

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ for ye yourselves know full well, that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ When they are saying, Peace and safety; then doth sudden destruction come upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you as a thief;

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ for ye all are sons of light, and sons of the day; we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:6 @ Let us not sleep, then, as others, but let us watch and be sober.

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:7 @ For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that are drunken, are drunken in the night;

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ but let us, as we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation;

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ for God did not appoint us to wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:10 @ who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should together live with him.

noyes@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ Wherefore, encourage one another, and edify one another, as indeed ye are doing.
