ylt @1Thessalonians:4:1 @As to the rest , then , brethren , we request you , and call upon you in the Lord Jesus , as ye did receive from us how it behoveth you to walk and to please God , that ye may abound the more , ylt @1Thessalonians:4:2 @for ye have known what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus , ylt @1Thessalonians:4:3 @for this is the will of God -- your sanctification ; that ye abstain from the whoredom , ylt @1Thessalonians:4:4 @that each of you know his own vessel to possess in sanctification and honour , ylt @1Thessalonians:4:5 @not in the affection of desire , as also the nations that were not knowing God , ylt @1Thessalonians:4:6 @that no one go beyond and defraud in the matter his brother , because an avenger [is ] the Lord of all these , as also we spake before to you and testified , ylt @1Thessalonians:4:7 @for God did not call us on uncleanness , but in sanctification ; ylt @1Thessalonians:4:8 @he , therefore , who is despising -- doth not despise man , but God , who also did give His Holy Spirit to us . ylt @1Thessalonians:4:9 @And concerning the brotherly love , ye have no need of [my ] writing to you , for ye yourselves are God-taught to love one another , ylt @1Thessalonians:4:10 @for ye do it also to all the brethren who [are ] in all Macedonia ; and we call upon you , brethren , to abound still more , ylt @1Thessalonians:4:11 @and to study to be quiet , and to do your own business , and to work with your own hands , as we did command you , ylt @1Thessalonians:4:12 @that ye may walk becomingly unto those without , and may have lack of nothing . ylt @1Thessalonians:4:13 @And I do not wish you to be ignorant , brethren , concerning those who have fallen asleep , that ye may not sorrow , as also the rest who have not hope , ylt @1Thessalonians:4:14 @for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again , so also God those asleep through Jesus he will bring with him , ylt @1Thessalonians:4:15 @for this to you we say in the word of the Lord , that we who are living -- who do remain over to the presence of the Lord -- may not precede those asleep , ylt @1Thessalonians:4:16 @because the Lord himself , in a shout , in the voice of a chief-messenger , and in the trump of God , shall come down from heaven , and the dead in Christ shall rise first , ylt @1Thessalonians:4:17 @then we who are living , who are remaining over , together with them shall be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in air , and so always with the Lord we shall be ; ylt @1Thessalonians:4:18 @so , then , comfort ye one another in these words .
