FINALLY then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that shuld abound more and more, just as you recieved from us how you ought to walk and to please God ;

2 For you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification : that you should abstain from sexual immortality ;

4 That each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in snctification and honor,

5 Not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God ;

6 That no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this mater, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified.

7 But God did not call us to uncleanness, but in holiness.

8 Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who has also given us His Holy Spirit.

9 But concernin britherly love you have no need that I should write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one anothe ;

10 And indeed you do so toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, that you incrase more and more ;

11 That you also aspire to lead aquiet life, to mind yor own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you,

12 That you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.

13 But I do not want you to ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.

14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus.

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 will by no means precede those who are asleep.

16 For the Lord Himself will decend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpt of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.

17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up togather with them in thr clouds to meet the Lord in air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.

18 Therefore comfort one another with these words  I Thessalonians 4:1-18
