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

rkjnt@1Thessalonians:4:13 @ Now I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who are asleep, that you may not sorrow, as others who have no hope.

rkjnt@1Thessalonians:4:14 @ For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who sleep in Jesus.

rkjnt@1Thessalonians:4:15 @ For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord shall not precede those who are asleep.

rkjnt@1Thessalonians:4:16 @ For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

rkjnt@1Thessalonians:4:17 @ Then we who 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.

rkjnt@1Thessalonians:4:18 @ Therefore comfort one another with these words.

rkjnt@1Thessalonians:5:1 @ But of the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I write to you.

rkjnt@1Thessalonians:5:2 @ For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord shall come as a thief in the night.

rkjnt@1Thessalonians:5:3 @ For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction shall come upon them, as birth pangs upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.

rkjnt@1Thessalonians:5:4 @ But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that this day should overtake you as a thief.

rkjnt@1Thessalonians:5:5 @ You are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.

rkjnt@1Thessalonians:5:6 @ Therefore let us not sleep, as others do; but let us watch and be sober.

rkjnt@1Thessalonians:5:7 @ For those who sleep, sleep in the night; and those who get drunk, get drunk in the night.

rkjnt@1Thessalonians:5:8 @ But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

rkjnt@1Thessalonians:5:9 @ For God has not appointed us to suffer wrath, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

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

rkjnt@1Thessalonians:5:11 @ Therefore, comfort one another, and build one another up, just as you are doing.
