1 Thessalonians 4

New Century Version NCV

1 Brothers and sisters, we taught you how to live in a way that will please God, and you are living that way. Now we ask and encourage you in the Lord Jesus to live that way even more.

2 You know what we told you to do by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

3 God wants you to be holy and to stay away from sexual sins.

4 He wants each of you to learn to control your own bodyn in a way that is holy and honorable.

5 Don't use your body for sexual sin like the people who do not know God.

6 Also, do not wrong or cheat another Christian in this way. The Lord will punish people who do those things as we have already told you and warned you.

7 God called us to be holy and does not want us to live in sin.

8 So the person who refuses to obey this teaching is disobeying God, not simply a human teaching. And God is the One who gives us his Holy Spirit.

9 We do not need to write you about having love for your Christian family, because God has already taught you to love each other.

10 And truly you do love the Christians in all of Macedonia. Brothers and sisters, now we encourage you to love them even more.

11 Do all you can to live a peaceful life. Take care of your own business, and do your own work as we have already told you.

12 If you do, then people who are not believers will respect you, and you will not have to depend on others for what you need.

13 Brothers and sisters, we want you to know about those Christians who have died so you will not be sad, as others who have no hope.

14 We believe that Jesus died and that he rose again. So, because of him, God will raise with Jesus those who have died.

15 What we tell you now is the Lord's own message. We who are living when the Lord comes again will not go before those who have already died.

16 The Lord himself will come down from heaven with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet call of God. And those who have died believing in Christ will rise first.

17 After that, we who are still alive will be gathered up with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And we will be with the Lord forever.

18 So encourage each other with these words.

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 de cetero ergo fratres rogamus vos et obsecramus in Domino Iesu ut quemadmodum accepistis a nobis quomodo vos oporteat ambulare et placere Deo sicut et ambulatis ut abundetis magis

2 scitis enim quae praecepta dederimus vobis per Dominum Iesum

3 haec est enim voluntas Dei sanctificatio vestra

4 ut abstineatis vos a fornicatione ut sciat unusquisque vestrum suum vas possidere in sanctificatione et honore

5 non in passione desiderii sicut et gentes quae ignorant Deum

6 ut ne quis supergrediatur neque circumveniat in negotio fratrem suum quoniam vindex est Dominus de his omnibus sicut et praediximus vobis et testificati sumus

7 non enim vocavit nos Deus in inmunditia sed in sanctificatione

8 itaque qui spernit non hominem spernit sed Deum qui etiam dedit Spiritum suum Sanctum in vobis

9 de caritate autem fraternitatis non necesse habemus scribere vobis ipsi enim vos a Deo didicistis ut diligatis invicem

10 etenim facitis illud in omnes fratres in universa Macedonia rogamus autem vos fratres ut abundetis magis

11 et operam detis ut quieti sitis et ut vestrum negotium agatis et operemini manibus vestris sicut praecepimus vobis

12 et ut honeste ambuletis ad eos qui foris sunt et nullius aliquid desideretis

13 nolumus autem vos ignorare fratres de dormientibus ut non contristemini sicut et ceteri qui spem non habent

14 si enim credimus quod Iesus mortuus est et resurrexit ita et Deus eos qui dormierunt per Iesum adducet cum eo

15 hoc enim vobis dicimus in verbo Domini quia nos qui vivimus qui residui sumus in adventum Domini non praeveniemus eos qui dormierunt

16 quoniam ipse Dominus in iussu et in voce archangeli et in tuba Dei descendet de caelo et mortui qui in Christo sunt resurgent primi

17 deinde nos qui vivimus qui relinquimur simul rapiemur cum illis in nubibus obviam Domino in aera et sic semper cum Domino erimus

18 itaque consolamini invicem in verbis istis
