1 Thessalonians 4
New International Version
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.

Ang Buhay na Kinalulugdan ng Diyos
4 Bilang pangwakas, mga kapatid, hinihiling namin at ipinapayo sa inyo alang-alang sa Panginoong Jesus na lalo pa ninyong pagbutihin ang inyong pamumuhay, gaya ng natutuhan ninyo sa amin, upang maging kalugud-lugod kayo sa Diyos. Ito naman ang ginagawa ninyo. 2 Natatandaan ninyo kung ano ang mga tagubiling ibinigay namin sa inyo sa pamamagitan ng Panginoong Jesus. 3 Kalooban ng Diyos na kayo'y maging banal at kayo'y umiwas sa lahat ng uri ng pakikiapid. 4 Bawat isa sa inyo'y matutong makipagrelasyon sa kanyang asawa sa paraang banal at marangal, 5 hindi gaya ng mga paganong nagpapaalipin sa masamang pagnanasa, palibhasa'y hindi nakakakilala sa Diyos. 6 Sinuman ay huwag nang gagawa ng masama at magsasamantala sa kanyang kapwa tungkol sa bagay na ito. Tulad ng sinabi namin at ibinabala sa inyo noon pa man, parurusahan ng Diyos ang gumagawa ng ganitong kasamaan. 7 Sapagkat tinawag tayo ng Diyos hindi para sa kahalayan kundi sa malinis na pamumuhay. 8 Dahil dito, ang taong tumatanggi sa aral na ito ay tumatanggi hindi sa tao kundi sa Diyos na nagkakaloob sa inyo ng kanyang Banal na Espiritu.
9 Tungkol naman sa pag-iibigan ng magkakapatid sa pananampalataya, hindi na ito kailangang isulat sa inyo sapagkat kayo mismo ay tinuruan ng Diyos na magmahalan sa bawat isa. 10 Katunayan, ginagawa na ninyo ito sa mga kapatid sa buong Macedonia. Gayunman, mga kapatid, ipinakikiusap pa rin namin sa inyong pag-ibayuhin pa ang inyong pag-ibig. 11 Pagsikapan ninyong mamuhay nang tahimik; harapin ninyo ang sarili ninyong gawain, at magpagal para sa sarili ninyong ikabubuhay, gaya ng bilin namin sa inyo. 12 Sa ganitong paraan ay igagalang kayo ng mga di-mananampalataya, at hindi kayo aasa kaninuman.
Ang Pagbabalik ng Panginoon
13 Hindi namin nais, mga kapatid, na kayo'y manatiling walang alam tungkol sa mga namayapa upang huwag kayong maghinagpis tulad ng ibang walang pag-asa. 14 Sumasampalataya tayong si Jesus ay namatay at muling nabuhay, kaya naniniwala rin tayong bubuhayin ng Diyos na kasama ni Jesus ang lahat ng namatay na nananalig sa kanya.
15 Ito ang sinasabi namin sa inyo na aral ng Panginoon: tayong mga buháy pa at nananatili sa pagdating ng Panginoon ay hindi mauunang makipagtagpo sa Panginoon kaysa mga namayapa. 16 Kasabay ng malakas na utos at ng tinig ng arkanghel at ng tunog ng trumpeta ng Diyos, babalik ang Panginoon mula sa langit. Bubuhayin muna ang mga namatay na nananalig kay Cristo. 17 Pagkatapos nito, tayo na nanatiling buháy ay titipunin sa ulap at isasama sa mga binuhay upang salubungin ang Panginoon sa himpapawid. Pagkatapos noon ay makakapiling na natin ang Panginoon magpakailanman. 18 Kaya nga palakasin ninyo ang loob ng bawat isa sa pamamagitan ng mga aral na ito.
1 Thessalonians 4
King James Version
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.
