13 But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleepkin Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are aliveland remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with amshout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 Then we who are alivenand remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. 18 Therefore comfort one another with these words. |
1 Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you. 2 For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lordawill come just like a thief in the night. 3 While they are saying, “Peace and safety!” thenbdestructioncwill come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape. 4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake youdlike a thief; 5 for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness; 6 so then let us not sleep aseothers do, but let us be alert andfsober. 7 For those who sleep do their sleeping at night, and those who get drunk get drunk at night. 8 But since we are of the day, let us begsober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation. 9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him. 11 Thereforehencourage one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing. |
12 But we request of you, brethren, that youiappreciate those who diligently labor among you, and have charge over you in the Lord and give youjinstruction, 13 and that you esteem them very highly in love because of their work. Live in peace with one another. 14 We urge you, brethren, admonish thekunruly, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with everyone. 15 See that no one repays another with evil for evil, but always seek after that which is good for one another and for all people. 16 Rejoice always; 17 pray without ceasing; 18 in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. 19 Do not quench the Spirit; 20 do not despise propheticlutterances. 21 But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good; 22 abstain from everymform of evil. |
