Sha'ul's First Letter to the Thessalonians, Chapter 4
{4:1} Finally then, brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord
Yeshua, that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to
please God, that you abound more and more. {4:2} For you know what
charge we gave you through the Lord Yeshua. {4:3} For this is the will
of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,
{4:4} that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own
vessel in sanctification and honor, {4:5} not in the passion of lust,
even as the Goyim who don't know God; {4:6} that no one should take
advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this matter; because the
Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and
testified. {4:7} For God called us not for uncleanness, but in
sanctification. {4:8} Therefore he who rejects doesn't reject man, but
God, who has also given his [1>]Ruach HaKodesh[<1] to you.
{4:9} But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that one write
to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another,
{4:10} for indeed you do it toward all the brothers who are in all
Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, that you abound more and more;
{4:11} and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and to
do your own business, and to work with your own hands, even as we
charged you; {4:12} that you may walk properly toward those who are
outside, and may have need of nothing.
{4:13} But we don't want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning
those who have fallen asleep, so that you don't grieve like the rest,
who have no hope. {4:14} For if we believe that Yeshua died and rose
again, even so those who have fallen asleep in Yeshua will God bring
with him. {4:15} For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we
who are alive, who are left to the coming of the Lord, will in no way
precede those who have fallen asleep. {4:16} For the Lord himself will
descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the chief angel,
and with God's [2>]shofar[<2]. The dead in Messiah will rise first,
{4:17} then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together
with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. So we will be
with the Lord forever. {4:18} Therefore comfort one another with these
words.
