1 Thessalonians 4:1-17

4:1

Furthermore
<3063>

then
<3767>

we beseech
<2065> (5719)

you
<5209>_,

brethren
<80>_,

and
<2532>

exhort
<3870> (5719)

[you] by
<1722>

the Lord
<2962>

Jesus
<2424>_,

that as
<2531>

ye have received
<3880> (5627)

of
<3844>

us
<2257>

how
<4459>

ye
<5209>

ought
<1163> (5748)

to walk
<4043> (5721)

and
<2532>

to please
<700> (5721)

God
<2316>_,

[so]
<2443>

ye would abound
<4052> (5725)

more and more
<3123>_.

{beseech: or, request} {exhort: or, beseech}

4:2

For
<1063>

ye know
<1492> (5758)

what
<5101>

commandments
<3852>

we gave
<1325> (5656)

you
<5213>

by
<1223>

the Lord
<2962>

Jesus
<2424>_.

4:3

For
<1063>

this
<5124>

is
<2076> (5748)

the will
<2307>

of God
<2316>_,

[even] your
<5216>

sanctification
<38>_,

that ye
<5209>

should abstain
<567> (5733)

from
<575>

fornication
<4202>_:

4:4

That every one
<1538>

of you
<5216>

should know
<1492> (5760)

how to possess
<2932> (5738)

his
<1438>

vessel
<4632>

in
<1722>

sanctification
<38>

and
<2532>

honour
<5092>_;

4:5

Not
<3361>

in
<1722>

the lust
<3806>

of concupiscence
<1939>_,

even
<2532>

as
<2509>

the Gentiles
<1484>

which
<3588>

know
<1492> (5761)

not
<3361>

God
<2316>_:

4:6

That no
<3361>

[man] go beyond
<5233> (5721)

and
<2532>

defraud
<4122> (5721)

his
<846>

brother
<80>

in
<1722>

[any] matter
<4229>_:

because
<1360>

that the Lord
<2962>

[is] the avenger
<1558>

of
<4012>

all
<3956>

such
<5130>_,

as
<2531>

we
<4277> (0)

also
<2532>

have forewarned
<4277> (5656)

you
<5213>

and
<2532>

testified
<1263> (5662)_.

{defraud: or, oppress, or, overreach} {in...: or, in the matter}

4:7

For
<1063>

God
<2316>

hath
<2564> (0)

not
<3756>

called
<2564> (5656)

us
<2248>

unto
<1909>

uncleanness
<167>_,

but
<235>

unto
<1722>

holiness
<38>_.

4:8

He therefore
<5105>

that despiseth
<114> (5723)_,

despiseth
<114> (5719)

not
<3756>

man
<444>_,

but
<235>

God
<2316>_,

who hath
<1325> (0)

also
<2532>

given
<1325> (5631)

unto
<1519>

us
<2248>

his
<846>

holy
<40>

Spirit
<4151>_.

{despiseth: or, rejecteth}

4:9

But
<1161>

as touching
<4012>

brotherly love
<5360>

ye need
<2192> (5719) <5532>

not
<3756>

that I write
<1125> (5721)

unto you
<5213>_:

for
<1063>

ye
<5210>

yourselves
<846>

are
<2075> (5748)

taught of God
<2312>

to
<1519>

love
<25> (5721)

one another
<240>_.

4:10

And
<2532>

indeed
<1063>

ye do
<4160> (5719)

it
<846>

toward
<1519>

all
<3956>

the brethren
<80>

which
<3588>

are in
<1722>

all
<3650>

Macedonia
<3109>_:

but
<1161>

we beseech
<3870> (5719)

you
<5209>_,

brethren
<80>_,

that ye increase
<4052> (5721)

more and more
<3123>_;

4:11

And
<2532>

that ye study
<5389> (5738)

to be quiet
<2270> (5721)_,

and
<2532>

to do
<4238> (5721)

your own business
<2398>_,

and
<2532>

to work with
<2038> (5738)

your
<5216>

own
<2398>

hands
<5495>_,

as
<2531>

we commanded
<3853> (5656)

you
<5213>_;

4:12

That
<2443>

ye may walk
<4043> (5725)

honestly
<2156>

toward
<4314>

them that are without
<1854>_,

and
<2532>

[that] ye may have
<2192> (5725)

lack
<5532>

of nothing
<3367>_.

{of...: or, of no man}

4:13

But
<1161>

I would
<2309> (0)

not
<3756>

have
<2309> (5719)

you
<5209>

to be ignorant
<50> (5721)_,

brethren
<80>_,

concerning
<4012>

them which are asleep
<2837> (5772)_,

that
<3363> (0)

ye sorrow
<3076> (5747)

not
<3363>_,

even
<2532>

as
<2531>

others
<3062>

which
<3588>

have
<2192> (5723)

no
<3361>

hope
<1680>_.

4:14

For
<1063>

if
<1487>

we believe
<4100> (5719)

that
<3754>

Jesus
<2424>

died
<599> (5627)

and
<2532>

rose again
<450> (5627)_,

even so
<3779>

them also
<2532>

which sleep
<2837> (5685)

in
<1223>

Jesus
<2424>

will
<71> (0)

God
<2316>

bring
<71> (5692)

with
<4862>

him
<846>_.

4:15

For
<1063>

this
<5124>

we say
<3004> (5719)

unto you
<5213>

by
<1722>

the word
<3056>

of the Lord
<2962>_,

that
<3754>

we
<2249>

which
<3588>

are alive
<2198> (5723)

[and] remain
<4035> (5742)

unto
<1519>

the coming
<3952>

of the Lord
<2962>

shall
<5348> (0)

not
<3364>

prevent
<5348> (5661)

them which
<3588>

are asleep
<2837> (5685)_.

{prevent: or, come before, or, anticipate, or, precede}

4:16

For
<3754>

the Lord
<2962>

himself
<846>

shall descend
<2597> (5695)

from
<575>

heaven
<3772>

with
<1722>

a shout
<2752>_,

with
<1722>

the voice
<5456>

of the archangel
<743>_,

and
<2532>

with
<1722>

the trump
<4536>

of God
<2316>_:

and
<2532>

the dead
<3498>

in
<1722>

Christ
<5547>

shall rise
<450> (5698)

first
<4412>_:

4:17

Then
<1899>

we
<2249>

which
<3588>

are alive
<2198> (5723)

[and] remain
<4035> (5742)

shall be caught up
<726> (5691)

together
<260>

with
<4862>

them
<846>

in
<1722>

the clouds
<3507>_,

to
<1519>

meet
<529>

the Lord
<2962>

in
<1519>

the air
<109>_:

and
<2532>

so
<3779>

shall we
<2071> (0)

ever
<3842>

be
<2071> (5704)

with
<4862>

the Lord
<2962>_.
