1 Furthermore 3063 then 3767 we beseech 2065 you 5209, brethren 80, and 2532 exhort 3870 you by 1722 the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424, that as 2531 ye have received 3880 of 3844 us 2257 how 4459 ye 5209 ought 1163 to walk 4043 and 2532 to please 700 God 2316, so 2443 ye would abound 4052 more 3123 and more 3123.
2 For 1063 ye know 1492 what 5101 commandments 3852 we gave 1325 you 5213 by 1223 the Lord 2962 Jesus 2424.
3 For 1063 this 5124 is 2076 the will 2307 of God 2316, even your 5216 sanctification 38, that ye 5209 should abstain 567 from 575 fornication 4202:
4 That every one 1538 of you 5216 should know 1492 how to possess 2932 his 1438 vessel 4632 in 1722 sanctification 38 and 2532 honour 5092;
5 Not 3361 in 1722 the lust 3806 of concupiscence 1939, even 2532 as 2509 the Gentiles 1484 which 3588 know 1492 not 3361 God 2316:
6 That no 3361 man go beyond 5233 and 2532 defraud 4122 his 848 brother 80 in 1722 any matter 4229: because 1360 that the Lord 2962 is the avenger 1558 of 4012 all 3956 such 5130, as 2531 we 4277 0 also 2532 have forewarned 4277 you 5213 and 2532 testified 1263.
7 For 1063 God 2316 hath 2564 0 not 3756 called 2564 us 2248 unto 1909 uncleanness 167, but 235 unto 1722 holiness 38.
8 He therefore 5105 that despiseth 114, despiseth 114 not 3756 man 444, but 235 God 2316, who hath 1325 0 also 2532 given 1325 unto 1519 us 2248 his 848 holy 40 Spirit 4151.
9 But 1161 as touching 4012 brotherly love 5360 ye need 2192 5532 not 3756 that I write 1125 unto you 5213: for 1063 ye 5210 yourselves 846 are 2075 taught of God 2312 to 1519 love 25 one another 240.
10 And 2532 indeed 1063 ye do 4160 it 846 toward 1519 all 3956 the brethren 80 which 3588 are in 1722 all 3650 Macedonia 3109: but 1161 we beseech 3870 you 5209, brethren 80, that ye increase 4052 more 3123 and more 3123;
11 And 2532 that ye study 5389 to be quiet 2270, and 2532 to do 4238 your own business 2398, and 2532 to work with 2038 your 5216 own 2398 hands 5495, as 2531 we commanded 3853 you 5213;
12 That 2443 ye may walk 4043 honestly 2156 toward 4314 them that are without 1854, and 2532 that ye may have 2192 lack 5532 of nothing 3367.
13 But 1161 I would 2309 0 not 3756 have 2309 you 5209 to be ignorant 50, brethren 80, concerning 4012 them which are asleep 2837, that 3363 0 2443 ye sorrow 3076 not 3363, even 2532 as 2531 others 3062 which 3588 have 2192 no 3361 hope 1680.
14 For 1063 if 1487 we believe 4100 that 3754 Jesus 2424 died 599 and 2532 rose again 450, even so 3779 them also 2532 which sleep 2837 in 1223 Jesus 2424 will 71 0 God 2316 bring 71 with 4862 him 846.
15 For 1063 this 5124 we say 3004 unto you 5213 by 1722 the word 3056 of the Lord 2962, that 3754 we 2249 which 3588 are alive 2198 and remain 4035 unto 1519 the coming 3952 of the Lord 2962 shall 5348 0 not 3364 prevent 5348 them which 3588 are asleep 2837.
16 For 3754 the Lord 2962 himself 846 shall descend 2597 from 575 heaven 3772 with 1722 a shout 2752, with 1722 the voice 5456 of the archangel 743, and 2532 with 1722 the trump 4536 of God 2316: and 2532 the dead 3498 in 1722 Christ 5547 shall rise 450 first 4412:
17 Then 1899 we 2249 which 3588 are alive 2198 and remain 4035 shall be caught up 726 together 260 with 4862 them 846 in 1722 the clouds 3507, to 1519 meet 529 the Lord 2962 in 1519 the air 109: and 2532 so 3779 shall we 2071 0 ever 3842 be 2071 with 4862 the Lord 2962.
18 Wherefore 5620 comfort 3870 one another 240 with 1722 these 5125 words 3056.
