帖撒罗尼迦前书 4
Chinese Standard Bible (Simplified)

做圣洁的人

4 此外，弟兄们，我们在主耶稣里请求你们、劝勉你们：既然从我们学到了该怎样行事为人，怎样讨神的喜悦——就像你们也在行的——你们就要更加努力， 2 因为你们知道，我们藉着主耶稣所传给你们的是什么吩咐。

3 神的旨意正是要你们分别为圣：要你们远避淫乱， 4 要你们每个人知道怎样在圣洁、尊贵中持守自己的身体[a]， 5 而不要像那些不认识神的外邦人那样，放纵邪情私欲； 6 不可有人在这事上越轨，对不起他的弟兄，因为关于这一切事，主是报应者，正如我们以前也告诉过、郑重地劝诫过你们。 7 要知道，神召唤我们，不是要我们沾染污秽，而是要我们分别为圣。 8 因此，那拒绝这吩咐[b]的，不是拒绝人，而是拒绝神——就是将他的圣灵赐给你们[c]的那一位。

基督徒的行事为人

9 关于弟兄之爱，你们不需要我[d]写什么给你们，因为你们自己蒙了神的教导，要彼此相爱。 10 实际上，你们对整个马其顿省的所有弟兄就是这样做的。不过弟兄们，我们劝你们要更加努力。 11 你们要立定心志安静下来、做自己的事、亲手做工，正如我们曾经吩咐过你们的， 12 好使你们在外人面前能够行事端正，不会有什么缺乏[e]。

基督再来的盼望

13 弟兄们，关于睡了的人，我们不愿意你们不明白，免得你们忧伤，就像其他那些没有盼望的人一样。 14 我们既然相信耶稣死而复活了，照样也相信，那些藉着耶稣已经睡了的人，神将要把他们与耶稣一同带来[f]。 15 的确，我们现在照着主的话告诉你们这一点：我们这些活着存留到主来临的人，绝不会在那些已经睡了的人之先， 16 因为在发令的呼喊声中，在天使长的声音和神的号角声中，主要亲自从天降临，而且那些在基督里死去的人要先复活， 17 然后我们这些还活着存留的人，要与他们一同被提到云里，在空中与主相会。这样，我们就要永远与主在一起了。 18 所以，你们当用这些话彼此鼓励。

1 Thessalonians 4
Evangelical Heritage Version

Instruction Concerning Sexual Propriety

4 Therefore, beyond this, brothers, just as you received instruction from us about how you are to walk[a] so as to please God (as indeed you are doing), we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus that you do so even more. 2 To be sure, you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 3 Indeed, this is God’s will: that you be sanctified, namely, that you keep yourselves away from sexual immorality. 4 He wants each of you to learn to obtain a wife[b] for yourself[c] in a way that is holy and honorable, 5 not in lustful passion like the heathen, who do not know God. 6 No one is to overstep and take advantage of his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, just as we said previously and solemnly testified to it. 7 For God did not call us for uncleanness, but in sanctification. 8 Consequently, whoever rejects this is not rejecting a man, but the God who gives you his Holy Spirit.

Instruction Concerning Brotherly Love and Labor

9 Concerning brotherly love, there is no need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God, with the result that you love one another. 10 In fact, you are doing so toward all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we encourage you, brothers, to do this even more, 11 and to make it your ambition to live a quiet life, to mind your own business, and to work with your own hands, just as we instructed you. 12 Do this so that you are conducting yourselves decently toward outsiders and are not lacking anything.

Instruction Concerning the Resurrection of the Dead at Christ’s Second Coming

13 We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who have fallen asleep,[d] so that you do not grieve in the same way as the others, who have no hope. 14 Indeed, if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, then in the same way we also believe that God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep through Jesus.

15 In fact, we tell you this by the word of the Lord: We who are alive and left until the coming of the Lord will certainly not go on ahead of those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up in the clouds together with them, to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore, encourage one another with these words.

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.

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.

  8. 1 Thessalonians 4:8 These commandments which I gave you.
  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.

  11. 1 Thessalonians 4:11 He rebuketh idleness and slothfulness, which vices whosoever are given unto, fall into other wickedness, to the great offense of the Church.

  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.
  15. 1 Thessalonians 4:14 A reason of the confirmation, for seeing that the head is risen, the members also shall rise, and that by the virtue of God.
  16. 1 Thessalonians 4:14 They die in Christ, which continue in faith, whereby they are grafted into Christ, even to the last gasp.
  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. The Saints (for he speaketh properly of them) which shall then be found alive together with the dead which shall rise, shall be taken up into the clouds to meet the Lord, and shall be in perpetual glory with him.
  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.
