1 Tesaloniceni 4
Nouă Traducere În Limba Română
O viaţă plăcută lui Dumnezeu
4 În cele din urmă, fraţilor, fiindcă aţi primit învăţătură de la noi despre cum trebuie să umblaţi şi să-I fiţi plăcuţi lui Dumnezeu, aşa cum, de altfel, şi faceţi[a], vă cerem şi vă îndemnăm în Domnul Isus să sporiţi tot mai mult în privinţa aceasta. 2 Voi ştiţi ce porunci v-am dat, prin autoritatea Domnului Isus. 3 Voia lui Dumnezeu este sfinţirea voastră: să vă feriţi de desfrâu. 4 Fiecare dintre voi trebuie să ştie să-şi ţină vasul[b] în sfinţenie şi cinste, 5 nu în patimi, ca păgânii, care nu-L cunosc pe Dumnezeu. 6 Nimeni să nu-l nedreptăţească pe fratele său şi nici să nu profite de el, pentru că Domnul îl va pedepsi pentru toate acestea, aşa cum v-am spus şi v-am avertizat. 7 Dumnezeu nu ne-a chemat la necurăţie, ci la sfinţenie; 8 de aceea, cel ce respinge aceste porunci nu respinge un om, ci pe Dumnezeu, Cel Care vă dă Duhul Sfânt.
9 Cu privire la dragostea frăţească, nu aveţi nevoie să vă scriem, pentru că voi înşivă aţi fost învăţaţi de Dumnezeu să vă iubiţi unii pe alţii. 10 Şi, într-adevăr, îi iubiţi pe toţi fraţii din întreaga Macedonie. Însă vă încurajăm, fraţilor, să sporiţi tot mai mult în privinţa aceasta. 11 Daţi-vă toată silinţa să trăiţi liniştiţi, să vă vedeţi de-ale voastre şi să lucraţi cu mâinile voastre, aşa cum v-am poruncit, 12 ca să trăiţi aşa cum se cuvine faţă de cei din afară şi să nu depindeţi de nimeni.
Venirea Domnului
13 Nu vrem să nu ştiţi, fraţilor, despre cei ce au adormit[c], ca să nu vă întristaţi ca ceilalţi care nu au nădejde. 14 Căci dacă credem că Isus a murit şi a înviat, credem şi că Dumnezeu îi va aduce împreună cu Isus pe cei ce au adormit în El.
15 Vă spunem prin Cuvântul Domnului că noi, cei vii, care vom fi rămas până la venirea Domnului, nicidecum nu o vom lua înaintea celor ce au adormit. 16 Căci Domnul Însuşi, la un strigăt de poruncă, la sunetul vocii arhanghelului şi la sunetul trâmbiţei lui Dumnezeu, Se va coborî din cer şi, mai întâi, vor învia cei morţi în Cristos, 17 apoi noi, cei vii, care vom fi rămas, vom fi răpiţi împreună cu ei în nori, ca să-L întâlnim pe Domnul în văzduh; şi astfel vom fi întotdeauna cu Domnul. 18 De aceea, încurajaţi-vă unii pe alţii cu aceste cuvinte.

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.

Living to Please God
4 As for other matters, brothers and sisters,(A) we instructed you how to live(B) in order to please God,(C) as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more. 2 For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.
3 It is God’s will(D) that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality;(E) 4 that each of you should learn to control your own body[a](F) in a way that is holy and honorable, 5 not in passionate lust(G) like the pagans,(H) who do not know God;(I) 6 and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister.[b](J) The Lord will punish(K) all those who commit such sins,(L) as we told you and warned you before. 7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.(M) 8 Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.(N)
9 Now about your love for one another(O) we do not need to write to you,(P) for you yourselves have been taught by God(Q) to love each other.(R) 10 And in fact, you do love all of God’s family throughout Macedonia.(S) Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more,(T) 11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands,(U) just as we told you, 12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders(V) and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
Believers Who Have Died
13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed(W) about those who sleep in death,(X) so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.(Y) 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again,(Z) and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.(AA) 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord,(AB) will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.(AC) 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven,(AD) with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel(AE) and with the trumpet call of God,(AF) and the dead in Christ will rise first.(AG) 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left(AH) will be caught up together with them in the clouds(AI) to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord(AJ) forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another(AK) with these words.

1 Thessalonians 4
King James Version
4 Furthermore 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.
2 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
6 That 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.
7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
9 But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
10 And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;
11 And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
12 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
13 But 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.
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15 For 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.
16 For 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:
17 Then 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.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
