Berean Standard Bible
Furthermore
then
we
beseech
you
, brethren
, and exhort
you by
the Lord Jesus ,
that as ye
have received of
us how ye
ought
to
walk
and
to
please
God
, so ye
would
abound
more
and
more.
Finally
, brothers
, we
ask
and encourage
you in
the Lord Jesus to
live
in
a
way
that is
pleasing
to
God,
just
as you
have received from
us .
This
is
how you
already
live
, so you
should
do
so
all
the
more.
For ye
know what
commandments
we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
For you
know the
instructions
we gave you by the authority
of
the
Lord Jesus.
For this
is the
will of
God,
even
your
sanctification,
that ye
should abstain from fornication:
For it
is God’s
will that you
should be
holy:
You
must
abstain from sexual
immorality;
That
every
one
of you should
know how to possess
his vessel
in sanctification
and honour;
each
of you must
know how to control
his own
body
in holiness
and honor,
Not in the
lust
of
concupiscence,
even
as
the Gentiles which
know
not God :
not in lustful
passion
like
the Gentiles who
do
not know
God ;
That
no
man
go
beyond
and defraud
his brother in any
matter:
because that
the Lord is
the
avenger
of
all such, as we also
have forewarned
you and testified
.
and no
one
should
ever
violate
or
exploit
his brother in this
regard,
because the Lord will
avenge
all such acts
, as we have already
told
you and solemnly
warned
you
.
For God hath
not called us unto
uncleanness
, but unto
holiness.
For God has
not called us to
impurity
, but to
holiness.
He
therefore
that
despiseth
, despiseth
not man ,
but God, who hath
also
given
unto
us
his holy Spirit.
Anyone
, then,
who
rejects
this
command
does
not reject
man but God, the
very
One
who gives
you
His Holy Spirit.
But
as
touching
brotherly love ye
need
not that
I
write unto
you :
for
ye
yourselves are
taught of
God to love one another.
Now
about
brotherly love ,
you
do
not need
anyone
to
write to
you ,
because
you
yourselves have
been
taught by
God to love one another.
And indeed ye
do
it
toward
all the brethren
which
are
in
all
Macedonia :
but we beseech
you, brethren
, that
ye
increase
more and more ;
And you
are
indeed showing
this
love
to
all the brothers
throughout
Macedonia .
But we urge
you, brothers
, to
excel
more and more
And that
ye
study
to be
quiet
, and
to do
your own business
, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded
you ;
and to aspire
to
live
quietly
, to attend
to
your own matters
, and to work with your own hands, as we instructed
you .
That
ye
may
walk
honestly
toward them
that
are
without
, and
that
ye
may
have
lack
of
nothing
.
Then
you
will
behave
properly
toward outsiders
, without
being
dependent
on
anyone
.
But
I
would
not have
you to be ignorant,
brethren,
concerning
them
which
are
asleep
, that ye
sorrow
not, even
as
others
which
have
no
hope.
Brothers,
we
do
not want
you to be uninformed
about
those
who
sleep
in
death
, so
that you
will
not grieve
like
the
rest
, who
are
without
hope.
For if
we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even
so
them
also which
sleep
in
Jesus
will
God bring with him.
For since
we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we
also believe
that
God will
bring with Jesus
those
who
have
fallen
asleep
in
Him.
For
this
we
say
unto
you
by the word of the Lord, that we which
are alive and remain unto
the coming of the Lord shall
not
prevent
them
which
are
asleep.
By the word of the Lord, we
declare
to
you
that we who
are alive and remain until
the coming of the Lord will
by
no
means
precede
those
who
have
fallen
asleep.
For the Lord himself shall
descend from heaven with a shout
, with the voice of the
archangel, and with the trump
of God :
and the dead in Christ shall
rise
first :
For the Lord Himself will
descend from heaven with a loud
command
, with the voice of an
archangel, and with the trumpet
of God ,
and the dead in Christ will
be
the
first to
rise.
Then
we which
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.
After
that,
we who
are alive and remain will
be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air .
And so we will
always
be with the Lord.
Wherefore
comfort
one another with these words.
Therefore
encourage
one another with these words.
