1 Thessalonians 4
King James Version with ApocryphaTranslation
King James Version with Apocrypha
Clementine Vulgate, 1598
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.
1De cetero ergo, fratres, rogamus vos et obsecramus in Domino Jesu, ut quemadmodum accepistis a nobis quomodo oporteat vos ambulare, et placere Deo, sic et ambuletis ut abundetis magis.
2For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
2Scitis enim quæ præcepta dederim vobis per Dominum Jesum.
3For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
3Hæc est enim voluntas Dei, sanctificatio vestra: ut abstineatis vos a fornicatione,
4That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
4ut sciat unusquisque vestrum vas suum possidere in sanctificatione, et honore:
5Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
5non in passione desiderii, sicut et gentes, quæ ignorant Deum:
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.
6et ne quis supergrediatur, neque circumveniat in negotio fratrem suum: quoniam vindex est Dominus de his omnibus, sicut prædiximus vobis, et testificati sumus.
7For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
7Non enim vocavit nos Deus in immunditiam, sed in sanctificationem.
8He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
8Itaque qui hæc spernit, non hominem spernit, sed Deum: qui etiam dedit Spiritum suum Sanctum in nobis.
9But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
9De caritate autem fraternitatis non necesse habemus scribere vobis: ipsi enim vos a Deo didicistis ut diligatis invicem.
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;
10Etenim illud facitis in omnes fratres in universa Macedonia. Rogamus autem vos, fratres, ut abundetis magis,
11And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
11et opera detis ut quieti sitis, et ut vestrum negotium agatis, et operemini manibus vestris, sicut præcepimus vobis:
12That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
12et ut honeste ambuletis ad eos qui foris sunt: et nullius aliquid desideretis.
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.
13Nolumus autem vos ignorare fratres de dormientibus, ut non contristemini sicut et ceteri, qui spem non habent.
14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
14Si enim credimus quod Jesus mortuus est, et resurrexit: ita et Deus eos qui dormierunt per Jesum, adducet cum eo.
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.
15Hoc enim vobis dicimus in verbo Domini, quia nos, qui vivimus, qui residui sumus in adventum Domini, non præveniemus eos qui dormierunt.
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:
16Quoniam ipse Dominus in jussu, et in voce archangeli, et in tuba Dei descendet de cælo: et mortui, qui in Christo sunt, resurgent primi.
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.
17Deinde nos, qui vivimus, qui relinquimur, simul rapiemur cum illis in nubibus obviam Christo in aëra, et sic semper cum Domino erimus.
18Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
18Itaque consolamini invicem in verbis istis.
