帖撒罗尼迦前书 4
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
上帝喜悦的生活
4 最后,弟兄姊妹,既然你们领受了我们的教导,知道怎样行才能讨上帝的喜悦,如你们现在所行的,我们靠着主耶稣恳求、劝勉你们要更加努力。 2 你们都知道我们靠着主耶稣传给你们的诫命。 3 上帝的旨意是要你们圣洁,远避淫乱的事, 4 要你们人人都知道持守身体的圣洁和尊贵, 5 不可荒淫纵欲,像那些不认识上帝的外族人一样。 6 你们在这种事上不可越轨,亏负弟兄姊妹。我们曾经对你们说过,并且郑重地警告过你们,主必惩治犯这种罪的人。 7 因为上帝呼召我们不是要我们沾染污秽,而是要我们圣洁。 8 所以,人若拒绝遵行这命令,他不是拒绝人,而是拒绝赐圣灵给你们的上帝。
9 关于弟兄姊妹彼此相爱的事,我就不必多写了,因为你们自己从上帝那里领受了要彼此相爱的教导。 10 你们对马其顿全境的弟兄姊妹已经做到了这一点。不过,我劝各位要再接再厉。 11 你们要立志过安分守己的生活,亲手做工,正如我们以前吩咐你们的。 12 这样,你们可以得到外人的尊敬,不必依赖任何人。
复活的盼望
13 弟兄姊妹,关于安息的信徒[a],我不愿意你们一无所知,免得你们像那些没有盼望的人一样悲伤。 14 我们既然相信耶稣死了,又复活了,也要相信上帝必把那些安息的信徒和耶稣一同带来。
15 我们把主耶稣的话告诉你们:主再来的那天,我们还活着的人不会比已安息的信徒先见到主。 16 因为主必在号令声、天使长的呼喊声和上帝的号角声中亲自从天降临,已经离世的基督徒必先复活。 17 然后,我们还活着的人要和他们一起被提到云里,在空中与主相会,永远和主在一起。 18 所以你们要用这些话彼此鼓励。

15 我們把主耶穌的話告訴你們:主再來的那天,我們還活著的人不會比已安息的信徒先見到主。 16 因為主必在號令聲、天使長的呼喊聲和上帝的號角聲中親自從天降臨,已經離世的基督徒必先復活。 17 然後,我們還活著的人要和他們一起被提到雲裡,在空中與主相會,永遠和主在一起。 18 所以你們要用這些話彼此鼓勵。

Sanctification and Love
4 (A)Finally then, (B)brothers, we ask and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us as to how you ought to [a](C)walk and (D)please God (just as you actually do [b]walk), that you (E)excel still more. 2 For you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you (F)abstain from [c]sexual immorality; 4 that (G)each of you know how to [d]possess his own [e](H)vessel in sanctification and (I)honor, 5 not in [f](J)lustful passion, like the Gentiles who (K)do not know God; 6 and that no man transgress and (L)defraud his brother (M)in the matter because (N)the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also (O)told you before and solemnly warned you. 7 For (P)God did not call us to (Q)impurity, but [g]in sanctification. 8 Consequently, he who sets this aside is not setting aside man but the God who (R)gives His Holy Spirit to you.
9 Now concerning (S)love of the brothers, you (T)have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves are (U)taught by God to love one another, 10 for indeed (V)you do practice it toward all the brothers who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to (W)excel still more, 11 and to make it your ambition (X)to lead a quiet life and (Y)attend to your own business and (Z)work with your hands, just as we commanded you, 12 so that you will (AA)walk properly toward (AB)outsiders and [h](AC)not be in any need.
The Dead in Christ Will Rise
13 But (AD)we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who (AE)are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do (AF)the rest who have (AG)no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, (AH)even so God will bring with Him (AI)those who have fallen asleep [i]in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you (AJ)by the word of the Lord, that (AK)we who are alive [j]and remain until (AL)the coming of the Lord, will not precede (AM)those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord (AN)Himself (AO)will descend from heaven with a [k](AP)shout, with the voice of (AQ)the archangel and with the (AR)trumpet of God, and (AS)the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then (AT)we who are alive [l]and remain will be (AU)caught up together with them (AV)in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always (AW)be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
