1Finally^G3063 then^G3767, brethren^G80, we beseech^G2065 and^G2532 exhort^G3870 you^G5209 in^G1722 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424, that, as^G2531 ye received^G3880 of^G3844 us^G2257 how^G4459 ye^G5209 ought^G1163 to walk^G4043 and^G2532 to please^G700 God^G2316, even as^G2443 ye do walk,—that ye abound^G4052 more and more^G3123. 2For^G1063 ye know^G1492 what^G5101 charge^G3852 we gave^G1325 you^G5213 through^G1223 the Lord^G2962 Jesus^G2424. 3For^G1063 this^G5124 is^G2076 the will^G2307 of God^G2316, even your^G5216 sanctification^G38, that^G567 ye^G5209 abstain^G567 from^G575 fornication^G4202; 4that^G1492 each one^G1538 of you^G5216 know how^G1492 to possess^G2932 himself of his^G1438 own vessel^G4632 in^G1722 sanctification^G38 and^G2532 honor^G5092, 5not^G3361 in^G1722 the passion^G1939 of lust^G3806, even^G2532 as^G2509 the Gentiles^G1484 who^G3588 know^G1492 not^G3361 God^G2316; 6that^G3588 no^G3361 man transgress^G5233, and^G2532 wrong^G4122 his^G846 brother^G80 in^G1722 the matter^G4229: because^G1360 the Lord^G2962 is an avenger^G1558 in^G4012 all^G3956 these things^G5130, as^G2531 also^G2532 we^G4277 forewarned^G4277 you^G5213 and^G2532 testified^G1263. 7For^G1063 God^G2316 called^G2564 us^G2248 not^G3756 for^G1909 uncleanness^G167, but^G235 in^G1722 sanctification^G38. 8Therefore^G5105 he^G114 that rejecteth^G114, rejecteth^G114 not^G3756 man^G444, but^G235 God^G2316, who^G3588 giveth^G1325 his^G846 Holy^G40 Spirit^G4151 unto^G1519 you^G2248. 9But^G1161 concerning^G4012 love^G5360 of the brethren ye have no^G3756 need^G2192 that one write^G1125 unto you^G5213: for^G1063 ye^G5210 yourselves^G846 are^G2075 taught of God^G2312 to^G1519 love^G25 one another^G240; 10for^G2532 indeed^G1063 ye do^G4160 it^G846 toward^G1519 all^G3956 the brethren^G80 that^G3588 are in^G1722 all^G3650 Macedonia^G3109. But^G1161 we exhort^G3870 you^G5209, brethren^G80, that ye abound^G4052 more and more^G3123; 11and^G2532 that ye study^G5389 to be quiet^G2270, and^G2532 to do^G4238 your own business^G2398, and^G2532 to work^G2038 with^G2398 your^G5216 hands^G5495, even as^G2531 we charged^G3853 you^G5213; 12that^G2443 ye may walk^G4043 becomingly^G2156 toward^G4314 them that are^G3588 without^G1854, and^G2532 may have^G2192 need^G5532 of nothing^G3367. 13But^G1161 we would^G2309 not^G3756 have^G2309 you^G5209 ignorant^G50, brethren^G80, concerning^G4012 them that fall asleep^G2837; that^G2443 ye sorrow^G3076 not^G3361, even^G2532 as^G2531 the rest^G3062, who have^G2192 no^G3361 hope^G1680. 14For^G1063 if^G1487 we believe^G4100 that^G3754 Jesus^G2424 died^G599 and^G2532 rose again^G450, even so^G3779 them^G3588 also^G2532 that are fallen asleep^G2837 in^G1223 Jesus^G2424 will^G71 God^G2316 bring^G71 with^G4862 him^G846. 15For^G1063 this^G5124 we say^G3004 unto you^G5213 by^G1722 the word^G3056 of the Lord^G2962, that^G3754 we^G2249 that are alive^G2198, that are left^G4035 unto^G1519 the coming^G3952 of the Lord^G2962, shall^G5348 in no^G3361 wise precede^G5348 them that are fallen asleep^G3756. 16For^G3754 the Lord^G2962 himself^G846 shall descend^G2597 from^G575 heaven^G3772, with^G1722 a shout^G2752, with^G1722 the voice^G5456 of the archangel^G743, and^G2532 with^G1722 the trump^G4536 of God^G2316: and^G2532 the dead^G3498 in^G1722 Christ^G5547 shall rise^G450 first^G4412; 17then^G1899 we^G2249 that are alive^G2198, that are left^G4035, shall together^G260 with^G4862 them^G846 be caught up^G726 in^G1722 the clouds^G3507, to^G1519 meet^G529 the Lord^G2962 in^G1519 the air^G109: and^G2532 so^G3779 shall we^G2071 ever^G3842 be^G2071 with^G4862 the Lord^G2962. 18Wherefore^G5620 comfort^G3870 one another^G240 with^G1722 these^G5125 words^G3056.
