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.

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.

The Call to Sanctification
4 Additionally then, brothers and sisters, we ask and encourage you in the Lord Jesus, that as you have received instruction from us on how you should live and please God—as you are doing[a]—do this even more. 2 For you know what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
3 For this is God’s will,(A) your sanctification:(B) that you keep away(C) from sexual immorality, 4 that each of you knows how to control his own body[b] in holiness and honor, 5 not with lustful passions,(D) like the Gentiles, who don’t know God. 6 This means one must not transgress against and take advantage(E) of a brother or sister in this manner, because the Lord is an avenger of all these offenses, as we also previously told and warned you. 7 For God has not called us to impurity(F) but to live in holiness. 8 Consequently, anyone who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.(G)
Loving and Working
9 About brotherly love: You don’t need me to write you because you yourselves are taught by God(H) to love one another.(I) 10 In fact, you are doing this toward all the brothers and sisters in the entire region of Macedonia.(J) But we encourage you, brothers and sisters, to do this even more, 11 to seek to lead a quiet life,(K) to mind your own business,[c] and to work(L) with your own hands, as we commanded you, 12 so that you may behave properly(M) in the presence of outsiders and not be dependent on anyone.[d](N)
The Comfort of Christ’s Coming
13 We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, concerning those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve like the rest, who have no hope.(O) 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose(P) again,(Q) in the same way, through Jesus,(R) God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep. 15 For we say this to you by a word from the Lord:(S) We who are still alive at the Lord’s coming(T) will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.(U) 16 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout,[e](V) with the archangel’s(W) voice, and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ(X) will rise first. 17 Then(Y) we who are still alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds(Z) to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore encourage[f] one another with these words.
