1 Thessalonians 4
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Greek New Testament: Byzantine Text (Robinson–Pierpont 2018)
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.
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 ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
2οιδατε γαρ τινασ παραγγελιασ εδωκαμεν υμιν δια του κυριου ιησου
3For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye 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 lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
5μη εν παθει επιθυμιασ καθαπερ και τα εθνη τα μη ειδοτα τον θεον
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.
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 holiness.
7ου γαρ εκαλεσεν ημασ ο θεοσ επι ακαθαρσια αλλ εν αγιασμω
8He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
8τοιγαρουν ο αθετων ουκ ανθρωπον αθετει αλλα τον θεον τον και δοντα το πνευμα αυτου το αγιον εισ υμασ
9But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
9περι δε τησ φιλαδελφιασ ου χρειαν εχετε γραφειν υμιν αυτοι γαρ υμεισ θεοδιδακτοι εστε εισ το αγαπαν αλληλουσ
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;
10και γαρ ποιειτε αυτο εισ παντασ τουσ αδελφουσ τουσ εν ολη τη μακεδονια παρακαλουμεν δε υμασ αδελφοι περισσευειν μαλλον
11And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
11και φιλοτιμεισθαι ησυχαζειν και πρασσειν τα ιδια και εργαζεσθαι ταισ ιδιαισ χερσιν υμων καθωσ υμιν παρηγγειλαμεν
12That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
12ινα περιπατητε ευσχημονωσ προσ τουσ εξω και μηδενοσ χρειαν εχητε
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.
13ου θελομεν δε υμασ αγνοειν αδελφοι περι των κεκοιμημενων ινα μη λυπησθε καθωσ και οι λοιποι οι μη εχοντεσ ελπιδα
14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
14ει γαρ πιστευομεν οτι ιησουσ απεθανεν και ανεστη ουτωσ και ο θεοσ τουσ κοιμηθεντασ δια του ιησου αξει συν αυτω
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.
15τουτο γαρ υμιν λεγομεν εν λογω κυριου οτι ημεισ οι ζωντεσ οι περιλειπομενοι εισ την παρουσιαν του κυριου ου μη φθασωμεν τουσ κοιμηθεντασ
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:
16οτι αυτοσ ο κυριοσ εν κελευσματι εν φωνη αρχαγγελου και εν σαλπιγγι θεου καταβησεται απ ουρανου και οι νεκροι εν χριστω αναστησονται πρωτον
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.
17επειτα ημεισ οι ζωντεσ οι περιλειπομενοι αμα συν αυτοισ αρπαγησομεθα εν νεφελαισ εισ απαντησιν του κυριου εισ αερα και ουτωσ παντοτε συν κυριω εσομεθα
18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
18ωστε παρακαλειτε αλληλουσ εν τοισ λογοισ τουτοισ
