Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
1For the rest therefore, brethren, we pray and beseech you in the Lord Jesus, that as you have received from us, how you ought to walk, and to please God, so also you would walk, that you may abound the more.
1λοιπον ουν αδελφοι ερωτωμεν υμασ και παρακαλουμεν εν κυριω ιησου καθωσ παρελαβετε παρ ημων το πωσ δει υμασ περιπατειν και αρεσκειν θεω ινα περισσευητε μαλλον
2For you know what precepts I have given to you by the Lord Jesus.
2οιδατε γαρ τινασ παραγγελιασ εδωκαμεν υμιν δια του κυριου ιησου
3For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that you should abstain from fornication;
3τουτο γαρ εστιν θελημα του θεου ο αγιασμοσ υμων απεχεσθαι υμασ απο τησ πορνειασ
4That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour:
4ειδεναι εκαστον υμων το εαυτου σκευοσ κτασθαι εν αγιασμω και τιμη
5Not in the passion of lust, like the Gentiles that know not God:
5μη εν παθει επιθυμιασ καθαπερ και τα εθνη τα μη ειδοτα τον θεον
6And that no man overreach, nor circumvent his brother in business: because the Lord is the avenger of all these things, as we have told you before, and have testified.
6το μη υπερβαινειν και πλεονεκτειν εν τω πραγματι τον αδελφον αυτου διοτι εκδικοσ ο κυριοσ περι παντων τουτων καθωσ και προειπομεν υμιν και διεμαρτυραμεθα
7For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto sanctification.
7ου γαρ εκαλεσεν ημασ ο θεοσ επι ακαθαρσια αλλ εν αγιασμω
8Therefore, he that despiseth these things, despiseth not man, but God, who also hath given his holy Spirit in us.
8τοιγαρουν ο αθετων ουκ ανθρωπον αθετει αλλα τον θεον τον και δοντα το πνευμα αυτου το αγιον εισ υμασ
9But as touching the charity of brotherhood, we have no need to write to you: for yourselves have learned of God to love one another.
9περι δε τησ φιλαδελφιασ ου χρειαν εχετε γραφειν υμιν αυτοι γαρ υμεισ θεοδιδακτοι εστε εισ το αγαπαν αλληλουσ
10For indeed you do it towards all the brethren in all Macedonia. But we entreat you, brethren, that you abound more:
10και γαρ ποιειτε αυτο εισ παντασ τουσ αδελφουσ τουσ εν ολη τη μακεδονια παρακαλουμεν δε υμασ αδελφοι περισσευειν μαλλον
11And that you use your endeavour to be quiet, and that you do your own business, and work with your own hands, as we commanded you: and that you walk honestly towards them that are without; and that you want nothing of any man’s.
11και φιλοτιμεισθαι ησυχαζειν και πρασσειν τα ιδια και εργαζεσθαι ταισ ιδιαισ χερσιν υμων καθωσ υμιν παρηγγειλαμεν
12And we will not have you ignorant, brethren, concerning them that are asleep, that you be not sorrowful, even as others who have no hope.
12ινα περιπατητε ευσχημονωσ προσ τουσ εξω και μηδενοσ χρειαν εχητε
13For if we believe that Jesus died, and rose again; even so them who have slept through Jesus, will God bring with him.
13ου θελομεν δε υμασ αγνοειν αδελφοι περι των κεκοιμημενων ινα μη λυπησθε καθωσ και οι λοιποι οι μη εχοντεσ ελπιδα
14For this we say unto you in the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them who have slept.
14ει γαρ πιστευομεν οτι ιησουσ απεθανεν και ανεστη ουτωσ και ο θεοσ τουσ κοιμηθεντασ δια του ιησου αξει συν αυτω
15For the Lord himself shall come down from heaven with commandment, and with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God: and the dead who are in Christ, shall rise first.
15τουτο γαρ υμιν λεγομεν εν λογω κυριου οτι ημεισ οι ζωντεσ οι περιλειπομενοι εισ την παρουσιαν του κυριου ου μη φθασωμεν τουσ κοιμηθεντασ
16Then we who are alive, who are left, shall be taken up together with them in the clouds to meet Christ, into the air, and so shall we be always with the Lord.
16οτι αυτοσ ο κυριοσ εν κελευσματι εν φωνη αρχαγγελου και εν σαλπιγγι θεου καταβησεται απ ουρανου και οι νεκροι εν χριστω αναστησονται πρωτον
17Wherefore, comfort ye one another with these words.
17επειτα ημεισ οι ζωντεσ οι περιλειπομενοι αμα συν αυτοισ αρπαγησομεθα εν νεφελαισ εισ απαντησιν του κυριου εισ αερα και ουτωσ παντοτε συν κυριω εσομεθα
