帖撒罗尼迦前书 4
Chinese New Version (Simplified)

要讨　神喜悦

4 此外，弟兄们，我们在主耶稣里求你们，劝你们，你们既然接受了我们的教训，知道应该怎样行事为人，并且怎样讨　神喜悦，就要照你们现在所行的更进一步。 2 我们凭着主耶稣传给你们的是甚么命令，你们是知道的。 3 　神的旨意是要你们圣洁，远避淫行； 4 要你们各人晓得怎样用圣洁尊贵的方法保守自己的身体（“身体”原文作“器皿”）； 5 不要放纵邪情私欲，像那些不认识　神的外族人一样； 6 谁也不要在这事上越轨，占弟兄的便宜，因为这一类的事，主必报应。这是我们从前告诉过你们，又严严警戒过你们的。 7 　神呼召我们，不是要我们沾染污秽，而是要我们圣洁。 8 所以那弃绝这命令的，不是弃绝人，而是弃绝把他自己的圣灵赐给你们的那位　神。

9 论到弟兄相爱，用不着人写甚么给你们，因为你们自己受了　神的教导，要彼此相爱。 10 其实，你们向全马其顿所有的弟兄，已经这样行了。但是，弟兄们，我们劝你们要更加彼此相爱； 11 又要立志过安静的生活，办自己的事，亲手作工，正如我们从前吩咐过你们， 12 使你们行事为人可以得到外人的尊敬，自己也不会有甚么缺乏了。

在主里睡了的人必先复活

13 弟兄们，论到睡了的人，我们不愿意你们不知道，免得你们忧伤，像那些没有盼望的人一样。 14 我们若信耶稣死了，又复活了，照样，也应该相信那些靠着耶稣已经睡了的人，　神必定把他们和耶稣一同带来。

15 我们现在照着主的话告诉你们：我们这些活着存留到主再来的人，绝不能在那些睡了的人以先。 16 因为主必亲自从天降临，那时，有发令的声音，有天使长的呼声，还有　神的号声，那些在基督里死了的人必先复活； 17 然后，我们还活着存留的人，必和他们一同被提到云里，在空中与主相会。这样，我们就要和主常常同在。 18 所以，你们应该用这些话彼此劝慰。

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。

1 Thessalonians 4
Common English Bible

Living that pleases God

4 So then, brothers and sisters, we ask and encourage you in the Lord Jesus to keep living the way you already are and even do better in how you live and please God—just as you learned from us. 2 You know the instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 3 God’s will is that your lives are dedicated to him.[a] This means that you stay away from sexual immorality 4 and learn how to control your own body in a pure[b] and respectable way. 5 Don’t be controlled by your sexual urges like the Gentiles who don’t know God. 6 No one should mistreat or take advantage of their brother or sister in this issue. The Lord punishes people for all these things, as we told you before and sternly warned you. 7 God didn’t call us to be immoral but to be dedicated to him.[c] 8 Therefore, whoever rejects these instructions isn’t rejecting a human authority. They are rejecting God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.

9 You don’t need us to write about loving your brothers and sisters because God has already taught you to love each other. 10 In fact, you are doing loving deeds for all the brothers and sisters throughout Macedonia. Now we encourage you, brothers and sisters, to do so even more. 11 Aim to live quietly, mind your own business, and earn your own living, just as I told you. 12 That way you’ll behave appropriately toward outsiders, and you won’t be in need.

Believers who have died

13 Brothers and sisters, we want you to know about people who have died[d] so that you won’t mourn like others who don’t have any hope. 14 Since we believe that Jesus died and rose, so we also believe that God will bring with him those who have died in Jesus. 15 What we are saying is a message from the Lord: we who are alive and still around at the Lord’s coming definitely won’t go ahead of those who have died. 16 This is because the Lord himself will come down from heaven with the signal of a shout by the head angel and a blast on God’s trumpet. First, those who are dead in Christ will rise. 17 Then, we who are living and still around will be taken up together with them in the clouds to meet with the Lord in the air. That way we will always be with the Lord. 18 So encourage each other with these words.

1 Thessalonians 4
1599 Geneva Bible

4 1 He exhorteth them 3 to holiness, 9 and brotherly love. 13 He forbiddeth them to sorrow after to manner of infidels. 15 He setteth out the history of our resurrection.

1 And [a]furthermore we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that ye [b]increase more and more, as ye have received of us, how ye ought to walk, and to please God.

2 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

3 (A)[c]For this is the will of God even your [d]sanctification, and that ye should abstain from fornication,

4 [e]That everyone of you should know, how to possess his vessel in holiness and honor,

5 [f]And not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

6 (B)[g]That no man oppress or defraud his brother in any matter: for the Lord is avenger of all such things, as we also have told you beforetime, and testified.

7 (C)For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

8 He therefore that [h]despiseth these things, despiseth not man, but God who hath even given you his holy Spirit.

9 [i]But as touching brotherly love, ye need not that I write unto you: (D)for ye are taught of God to love one another.

10 Yea, and that thing verily ye do unto all the brethren, which are throughout all Macedonia: but we beseech you brethren, that ye increase more and more,

11 [j]And that ye study to be quiet, and to meddle with your own business, [k]and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you.

12 That ye may behave yourselves honestly toward them that are without, and that nothing be lacking unto you.

13 [l]I would not brethren, have you ignorant [m]concerning them [n]which are asleep, that ye sorrow not even as others which have no hope.

14 [o]For if we believe that Jesus is dead, and is risen, even so them which sleep in [p]Jesus, will God [q]bring with him.

15 [r]For this say we unto you by the [s]word of the Lord, that [t]we which live, and are remaining in the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them which sleep.

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a [u]shout, and with the voice of the Archangel, and (E)with the trumpet of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then shall we which live and remain, be [v]caught up with them also in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore, comfort yourselves one another with these words.

  2. 1 Thessalonians 4:1 That ye labor to excel more and more, and daily pass yourselves.
  3. 1 Thessalonians 4:3 This is the sum of those things, which he delivered them, to dedicate themselves wholly to God. And he condemneth plainly all filthiness through lust, because it is altogether contrary to the will of God.
  4. 1 Thessalonians 4:3 See John 19:17.
  5. 1 Thessalonians 4:4 Another reason, because it defileth the body.
  6. 1 Thessalonians 4:5 The third, because the Saints are discerned from them which know not God, by honesty and purity.
  7. 1 Thessalonians 4:6 Secondly, he reprehendeth all violent oppression and immoderate desire, and showeth most severely as the Prophet of God, that God will revenge such wickedness.

  9. 1 Thessalonians 4:9 Thirdly, he requireth a ready mind to all manner of lovingkindness, and exhorteth them to profit more and more in that virtue.

  13. 1 Thessalonians 4:13 We must take heed that we do not immoderately bewail the dead, that is, as they used to do which think that they are utterly perished.
  14. 1 Thessalonians 4:13 A confirmation: for death is but a sleep of the body (for he speaketh of the faithful) until the Lord cometh.

  17. 1 Thessalonians 4:14 Will call their bodies out of their graves, and join their souls to them again.
  18. 1 Thessalonians 4:15 The manner of the resurrection shall be thus: The bodies of the dead shall be as it were raised out of sleep, at the sound of the trumpet of God, Christ himself shall descend from heaven.

  19. 1 Thessalonians 4:15 In the Name of the Lord, as though he himself speaks unto you.
  20. 1 Thessalonians 4:15 He speaketh of these things, as though he should be one of them whom the Lord shall find alive at his coming, because that time is uncertain, and therefore every one of us ought to be in such a readiness, as if the Lord were coming at every moment.
  21. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 The word which the Apostle useth here, signifieth properly that encouragement which mariners use one to another, when they altogether with one shout put forth their oars and row together.
  22. 1 Thessalonians 4:17 Suddenly and in the twinkling of an eye.
