1 Thessalonians 4 Furthermore then we beseech you, brothers, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as you have received of us how you ought to walk and to please God, so you would abound more and more.

AKJV_Strongs⁽ⁱ⁾

1 G3063 Furthermore G3767 then G2065 we beseech G80 you, brothers, G3870 and exhort G2962 you by the Lord G2424 Jesus, G2192 that as you have G3880 received G4459 of us how G1163 you ought G4043 to walk G700 and to please G2316 God, G4052 so you would abound G3123 more G3123 and more.

2 G1492 For you know G5101 what G3852 commandments G1325 we gave G2962 you by the Lord G2424 Jesus.

3 G5124 For this G2307 is the will G2316 of God, G5216 even your G38 sanctification, G567 that you should abstain G4202 from fornication:

4 G1538 That every G1492 one of you should know G2932 how to possess G4632 his vessel G38 in sanctification G5092 and honor;

5 G3806 Not in the lust G1939 of concupiscence, G2532 even G1484 as the Gentiles G3588 which G1492 know G2316 not God:

6 G3361 That no G5233 man go G5233 beyond G4122 and defraud G80 his brother G4229 in any matter: G1360 because G2962 that the Lord G1558 is the avenger G3956 of all G5130 such, G2532 as we also G2192 have G4277 forewarned G1263 you and testified.

7 G2316 For God G2564 has not called G167 us to uncleanness, G38 but to holiness.

8 G5105 He therefore G114 that despises, G114 despises G444 not man, G2316 but God, G2532 who has also G1325 given G40 to us his holy G4151 Spirit.

9 G4012 But as touching G5360 brotherly G5360 love G5532 you need G1125 not that I write G846 to you: for you yourselves G2312 are taught G2312 of God G25 to love G240 one G240 another.

10 G1063 And indeed G4160 you do G1519 it toward G3956 all G80 the brothers G3588 which G3650 are in all G3109 Macedonia: G3870 but we beseech G80 you, brothers, G4052 that you increase G3123 more G3123 and more;

11 G5389 And that you study G2270 to be quiet, G4238 and to do G2398 your G2398 own G2398 business, G2038 and to work G2398 with your G2398 own G5495 hands, G3853 as we commanded you;

12 G4043 That you may walk G2156 honestly G4314 toward G1854 them that are without, G2192 and that you may have G5532 lack G3367 of nothing.

13 G2309 But I would G50 not have you to be ignorant, G80 brothers, G4012 concerning G2837 them which are asleep, G3076 that you sorrow G2532 not, even G3062 as others G3588 which G2192 have G3361 no G1680 hope.

14 G1487 For if G4100 we believe G2424 that Jesus G599 died G450 and rose G450 again, G3779 even so G2532 them also G2837 which sleep G2424 in Jesus G2316 will God G71 bring with him.

15 G5124 For this G3004 we say G3056 to you by the word G2962 of the Lord, G3588 that we which G2198 are alive G4035 and remain G3952 to the coming G2962 of the Lord G5348 shall not precede G3588 them which G2837 are asleep.

16 G2962 For the Lord G846 himself G2597 shall descend G3772 from heaven G2752 with a shout, G5456 with the voice G743 of the archangel, G4536 and with the trump G2316 of God: G3498 and the dead G5547 in Christ G450 shall rise G4412 first:

17 G1899 Then G3588 we which G2198 are alive G4035 and remain G726 shall be caught G260 up together G3507 with them in the clouds, G529 to meet G2962 the Lord G109 in the air: G3779 and so G3842 shall we ever G2962 be with the Lord.

18 G5620 Why G3870 comfort G240 one G240 another G5125 with these G3056 words.
