1 Thessalonians 4

1Furthermore 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.
το λοιπον ουν αδελφοι ερωτωμεν υμας και παρακαλουμεν εν κυριω ιησου καθως παρελαβετε παρ ημων το πως δει υμας περιπατειν και αρεσκειν θεω ινα περισσευητε μαλλον (15683)
2For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
οιδατε γαρ τινας παραγγελιας εδωκαμεν υμιν δια του κυριου ιησου (5387)
3For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
τουτο γαρ εστιν θελημα του θεου ο αγιασμος υμων απεχεσθαι υμας απο της πορνειας (7768)
4That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
ειδεναι εκαστον υμων το εαυτου σκευος κτασθαι εν αγιασμω και τιμη (6502)
5Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
μη εν παθει επιθυμιας καθαπερ και τα εθνη τα μη ειδοτα τον θεον (2876)
6That 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.
το μη υπερβαινειν και πλεονεκτειν εν τω πραγματι τον αδελφον αυτου διοτι εκδικος ο κυριος περι παντων τουτων καθως και προειπαμεν υμιν και διεμαρτυραμεθα (13766)
7For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
ου γαρ εκαλεσεν ημας ο θεος επι ακαθαρσια αλλ εν αγιασμω (3102)
8He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
τοιγαρουν ο αθετων ουκ ανθρωπον αθετει αλλα τον θεον τον και δοντα το πνευμα αυτου το αγιον εις ημας (8796)
9But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
περι δε της φιλαδελφιας ου χρειαν εχετε γραφειν υμιν αυτοι γαρ υμεις θεοδιδακτοι εστε εις το αγαπαν αλληλους (9366)
10And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;
και γαρ ποιειτε αυτο εις παντας τους αδελφους τους εν ολη τη μακεδονια παρακαλουμεν δε υμας αδελφοι περισσευειν μαλλον (9409)
11And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
και φιλοτιμεισθαι ησυχαζειν και πρασσειν τα ιδια και εργαζεσθαι ταις ιδιαις χερσιν υμων καθως υμιν παρηγγειλαμεν (8749)
12That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
ινα περιπατητε ευσχημονως προς τους εξω και μηδενος χρειαν εχητε (7700)
13But 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.
ου θελω δε υμας αγνοειν αδελφοι περι των κεκοιμημενων ινα μη λυπησθε καθως και οι λοιποι οι μη εχοντες ελπιδα (8976)
14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
ει γαρ πιστευομεν οτι ιησους απεθανεν και ανεστη ουτως και ο θεος τους κοιμηθεντας δια του ιησου αξει συν αυτω (10881)
15For 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.
τουτο γαρ υμιν λεγομεν εν λογω κυριου οτι ημεις οι ζωντες οι περιλειπομενοι εις την παρουσιαν του κυριου ου μη φθασωμεν τους κοιμηθεντας (13696)
16For 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:
οτι αυτος ο κυριος εν κελευσματι εν φωνη αρχαγγελου και εν σαλπιγγι θεου καταβησεται απ ουρανου και οι νεκροι εν χριστω αναστησονται πρωτον (13862)
17Then 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.
επειτα ημεις οι ζωντες οι περιλειπομενοι αμα συν αυτοις αρπαγησομεθα εν νεφελαις εις απαντησιν του κυριου εις αερα και ουτως παντοτε συν κυριω εσομεθα (13722)
