drb @1Thessalonians:4:1 @For the rest therefore , brethren , we pray and beseech you in the Lord Jesus , that as you have received from us , how you ought to walk , and to please God , so also you would walk , that you may abound the more . drb @1Thessalonians:4:2 @For you know what precepts I have given to you by the Lord Jesus . drb @1Thessalonians:4:3 @For this is the will of God , your sanctification ; that you should abstain from fornication ; drb @1Thessalonians:4:4 @That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour : drb @1Thessalonians:4:5 @Not in the passion of lust , like the Gentiles that know not God : drb @1Thessalonians:4:6 @And that no man overreach , nor circumvent his brother in business : because the Lord is the avenger of all these things , as we have told you before , and have testified . drb @1Thessalonians:4:7 @For God hath not called us unto uncleanness , but unto sanctification . drb @1Thessalonians:4:8 @Therefore , he that despiseth these things , despiseth not man , but God , who also hath given his holy Spirit in us . drb @1Thessalonians:4:9 @But as touching the charity of brotherhood , we have no need to write to you : for yourselves have learned of God to love one another . drb @1Thessalonians:4:10 @For indeed you do it towards all the brethren in all Macedonia drb @1Thessalonians:4:11 @And that you use your endeavour to be quiet , and that you do your own business , and work with your own hands , as we commanded you : and that you walk honestly towards them that are without ; and that you want nothing of any man 's . drb @1Thessalonians:4:12 @And we will not have you ignorant , brethren , concerning them that are asleep , that you be not sorrowful , even as others who have no hope . drb @1Thessalonians:4:13 @For if we believe that Jesus died , and rose again ; even so them who have slept through Jesus , will God bring with him . drb @1Thessalonians:4:14 @For this we say unto you in the word of the Lord , that we who are alive , who remain unto the coming of the Lord , shall not prevent them who have slept . drb @1Thessalonians:4:15 @For the Lord himself shall come down from heaven with commandment , and with the voice of an archangel , and with the trumpet of God : and the dead who are in Christ , shall rise first . drb @1Thessalonians:4:16 @Then we who are alive , who are left , shall be taken up together with them in the clouds to meet Christ , into the air , and so shall we be always with the Lord . drb @1Thessalonians:4:17 @Wherefore , comfort ye one another with these words .
