1 Thessalonikerbrevet 4
Svenska 1917
4 Ytterligare, käre bröder, bedja vi nu och förmana eder i Herren Jesus att allt mer förkovra eder i en sådan vandel som I haven fått lära av oss att I skolen föra, Gud till behag -- en sådan vandel som I redan fören.
2 I veten ju vilka bud vi hava givit eder genom Herren Jesus.
3 Ty detta är Guds vilja, detta som hör till eder helgelse, att I avhållen eder från otukt,
4 och att var och en av eder vet att hava sin egen maka i helgelse och ära,
5 icke i begärelses lusta såsom hedningarna -- vilka icke känna Gud --
6 och att ingen i sitt förhållande till sin broder kränker honom eller gör honom något förfång, ty Herren är en hämnare över allt detta, såsom vi redan förut hava sagt och betygat för eder.
7 Gud har ju icke kallat oss till orenhet, utan till att leva i helgelse.
8 Den som icke vill veta av detta, han förkastar alltså icke en människa, utan Gud, honom som giver sin helige Ande till att bo i eder.
9 Om broderlig kärlek är det icke behövligt att skriva till eder, ty I haven själva fått lära av Gud att älska varandra;
10 så handlen I ju ock mot alla bröderna i hela Macedonien. Men vi förmana eder, käre bröder, att allt mer förkovra eder häri
11 och att sätta eder ära i att leva i stillhet och sköta vad eder åligger och arbeta med edra händer, enligt vad vi hava bjudit eder,
12 så att I skicken eder höviskt mot dem som stå utanför och icke behöven anlita någons hjälp.
13 Vi vilja icke lämna eder, käre bröder, i okunnighet om huru det förhåller sig med dem som avsomna, för att I icke skolen sörja såsom de andra, de som icke hava något hopp.
14 Ty lika visst som Jesus, såsom vi tro, har dött och har uppstått, lika visst skall ock Gud genom Jesus föra dem som äro avsomnade fram jämte honom.
15 Såsom ett ord från Herren säga vi eder nämligen detta, att vi som leva och lämnas kvar till Herrens tillkommelse ingalunda skola komma före dem som äro avsomnade.
16 Ty Herren skall själv stiga ned från himmelen, och ett maktbud skall ljuda, en överängels röst och en Guds basun. Och först skola de i Kristus döda uppstå;
17 sedan skola vi som då ännu leva och hava lämnats kvar bliva jämte dem bortryckta på skyar upp i luften, Herren till mötes; och så skola vi alltid få vara hos Herren.
18 Så trösten nu varandra med dessa ord.

Ett liv i helgelse
4 För övrigt, bröder, ni har lärt av oss hur ni skall leva för att behaga Gud, och det är ju så ni lever. Nu ber och uppmanar vi er i Herren Jesus att låta ert liv ännu mer överflöda i detta. 2 Ni vet vilka föreskrifter vi har gett er från Herren. 3 Detta är Guds vilja: att ni helgas, att ni avhåller er från otukt, 4 och att var och en av er vet att skaffa sig hustru[a] på ett helgat och hedervärt sätt. 5 Det får inte ske i lidelser och begär liksom bland hedningarna som inte känner Gud, 6 så att någon i denna sak går för långt och förorättar sin broder. Herren straffar allt sådant, det har vi redan sagt och betygat för er. 7 Gud har inte kallat oss till orenhet utan till ett liv i helgelse. 8 Därför, den som nu avvisar detta, avvisar inte en människa utan Gud, som har gett er sin helige Ande.
9 Vi behöver inte skriva till er om broderskärleken. Ni har ju fått lära er av Gud att älska varandra. 10 Den kärleken visar ni också alla bröderna i hela Makedonien. Men vi uppmanar er, bröder, att överflöda ännu mer i den 11 och sätta en ära i att hålla er lugna och sköta ert och arbeta med era händer så som vi har befallt er. 12 Lev på det sättet, så väcker ni respekt hos de utomstående och lider inte brist på något.
Herrens ankomst
13 Bröder, vi vill att ni skall veta hur det förhåller sig med dem som har insomnat, så att ni inte sörjer som de andra, de som inte har något hopp. 14 Eftersom vi tror att Jesus har dött och uppstått, så tror vi också att Gud skall föra fram dem som insomnat i Jesus tillsammans med honom. 15 Vi säger er detta enligt ett ord från Herren: vi som lever och är kvar till Herrens ankomst skall alls inte komma före de insomnade. 16 Ty när en befallning ljuder, en ärkeängels röst och en Guds basun, då skall Herren själv stiga ner från himlen. Och först skall de som dött i Kristus Jesus uppstå. 17 Därefter skall vi som lever och är kvar ryckas upp bland moln tillsammans med dem för att möta Herren i rymden. Och så skall vi alltid vara hos Herren. 18 Trösta därför varandra med dessa ord.

A Life that Pleases God
4 [L Finally; or Now then; Furthermore] Brothers and sisters, we taught you how to ·live [walk] in a way that will please God, and you are living that way. Now we ask and ·encourage [urge; appeal to] you in the Lord Jesus to ·live that way [excel; abound] even more. 2 [L For] You know what ·we told [instructions/commands we gave] you to do ·by the authority of [L through] the Lord Jesus. 3 ·God wants you to be holy and [or For this is God’s will, your sanctification:] to stay away from sexual sins. 4 He wants each of you to ·learn to control your own body [or take a wife for yourself; or live with your own wife; L gain/possess his own vessel] in a way that is holy and honorable. 5 ·Don’t use your body for sexual sin [L …not in lustful passion] like the ·people [L Gentiles] who do not know God. 6 Also, do not ·wrong [exploit; transgress] or ·cheat [take advantage of] another ·Christian [L brother (or sister)] in this way. The Lord ·will punish people who do those [L is the avenger concerning these] things as we have already told you and ·warned [solemnly testified to] you. 7 [L For] God did not call us to ·a life of sin [L impurity], but to holiness. 8 ·So [Therefore] the person who ·refuses to obey [disregards; rejects; despises] this teaching is not simply ·disobeying [disregarding; rejecting; despising] ·a human being [human authority], but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.
9 We do not need to write you about ·having love for your Christian family [L brotherly love], because God has already taught you to love each other. 10 And truly you do love the ·Christians [L brothers (and sisters)] in all of Macedonia [1:7]. Now we encourage you, brothers and sisters, to ·love them [excel; abound; v. 1] even more. 11 ·Do all you can […and to aspire] to live a peaceful life. ·Take care of [Attend to; Mind] your own business, and ·do your own work [L work with your hands] as we have already ·told [instructed; commanded] you. 12 If you do, then you will ·win the respect of [or live a respectable/proper life before] ·unbelievers [L outsiders], and you will not have to depend on others for what you need.
The Lord’s Coming
13 Brothers and sisters, we ·want you to know [do not want you to be uninformed] about those ·Christians who have died [L who sleep; C a euphemism for death] so you will not ·be sad [grieve], as ·others [L the rest] who have no hope. 14 [L For] We believe that Jesus died and that he rose again. ·So, through him, God will raise with Jesus those who have died [or So God will bring with Jesus those who have died/L fallen asleep in him]. 15 What we tell you now is ·the Lord’s own message [L by the word of the Lord]. We who are ·living [still alive] when the Lord comes again will [L certainly; surely] not go before those who have ·already died [L fallen asleep]. 16 The Lord himself will come down from heaven with a loud ·command [or shout], ·with [or accompanied by; or preceded by] the voice of the archangel [C a leading or ruling angel; Dan. 10:13; Jude 9], and with the trumpet call of God. And ·those who have died believing [L the dead] in Christ will rise first [1 Cor. 15:51–57]. 17 After that, we who are ·still alive [or alive and are left] will be ·gathered [caught; taken] up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And [L so; in this way] we will be with the Lord forever. 18 So ·encourage [comfort] each other with these words.

Kehillah in Thessalonika I 4
Orthodox Jewish Bible
4 Lemaskana (finally), Achim b’Moshiach, we ask and exhort you in Adoneinu Yehoshua, in order that, just as from us (Moshiach’s Shlichim) you received (as authoritative halachic tradition, as the Messianic teaching to be followed) how it is necessary for you to be fier zich (comport oneself) in your derech (way of life) and to please Hashem (just as you in fact are doing), so you should abound more and more.
2 For you have da’as what mitzvot (commandments) we gave you through [Moshiach] Adoneinu Yehoshua.
3 For this is the ratzon Hashem (the will of G-d), your kedushah (holiness), your consecration, that you abstain from zenut (fornication),
4 That each one of you [as Kadoshim] have da’as of how to control your own k’li (vessel) in kedushah and kavod,
5 Not in the passion of ta’avah (evil desire, lust) like Goyim who do not have da’as of Hashem;
6 That no man commit peysha and take advantage of one of his Achim b’Moshiach in this [sexual] matter, because Hashem is the Nokem (Avenger) concerning all these things, just as also we told you before and warned you.
7 For [as far as our bechirah (election) is concerned], Hashem did not summon us for tu’ma (uncleanness) but in kedushah (holiness).
8 Therefore, the one rejecting this mitzvah (commandment) does not reject Bnei Adam but Hashem who gives to you His Ruach Hakodesh.
9 Concerning the matter of ahavah shel achvah (brotherly love), you have no need that we write you, for you yourselves are limudei Elohim (taught of G-d) to have ahavah (agape) one for another.
10 For indeed this you do toward all the Achim b’Moshiach in all of Macedonia. But in this we exhort you, Chaverim, to abound more and more.
11 And have as your ambition to lead a quiet life of shalom bayis, and to mind your own business, and to have a parnasah, working with your own hands, according to the mitzvot (commandments) we gave you.
12 The tachlis (purpose) is that the way you fier zich (comport oneself) in your derech (way of life) be conducted properly toward outsiders and that you might not be nitzrach (needy).
13 We do not want you to lack da’as, Chaverim, concerning those who have "fallen asleep." The purpose is that you not have agmat nefesh (grief) like the rest, who do not have tikvah (hope).
14 For, if we have an Ani Ma’amin belief that Yehoshua had his histalkus and then stood up alive again in the Techiyas HaMoshiach from HaMesim, even so, Hashem will bring with him [Moshiach] those who have fallen asleep through Yehoshua.
15 For this we say to you by the Dvar Hashem, that we who are alive and have been left behind until the Bi’as (Coming, Parousia of) Moshiach Adoneinu, may in no way be kodem (preceding) those who have fallen asleep.
16 For Adoneinu Himself, at the signal, at the bat kol of the Sar HaMalachim (the Archangel), and at the shofar blast of Hashem, shall come down from Shomayim, and the Mesim in Moshiach shall stand up alive in the Techiyas HaMesim first.
17 Then [next in sequence], we who are alive and who have been left behind simultaneously with them shall be snatched up in the ananim (clouds) to meet Adoneinu in the air. And so always with Adoneinu we shall be.
18 Therefore, give chozek (strength) and speak divrei chizzuk (words of encouragement), comforting 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.
