But wrath has come on them + to the uttermost. +002:017 But we, brothers, being bereaved of you for a short season, + in presence, not in heart, tried even harder to see your face + with great desire, +002:018 because we wanted to come to you--indeed, I, Paul, once and again-- + but Satan hindered us. +002:019 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? + Isn't it even you, before our Lord Jesus{TR adds "Christ"} + at his coming? +002:020 For you are our glory and our joy. +003:001 Therefore, when we couldn't stand it any longer, we thought + it good to be left behind at Athens alone, +003:002 and sent Timothy, our brother and God's servant in the + Good News of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort you + concerning your faith; +003:003 that no one be moved by these afflictions. For you know + that we are appointed to this task. +003:004 For most certainly, when we were with you, we told you beforehand + that we are to suffer affliction, even as it happened, + and you know. +003:005 For this cause I also, when I couldn't stand it any longer, + sent that I might know your faith, for fear that by any + means the tempter had tempted you, and our labor would have + been in vain. +003:006 But when Timothy came just now to us from you, and brought + us glad news of your faith and love, and that you have good + memories of us always, longing to see us, even as we also long + to see you; +003:007 for this cause, brothers, we were comforted over you in all + our distress and affliction through your faith. +003:008 For now we live, if you stand fast in the Lord. +003:009 For what thanksgiving can we render again to God for you, + for all the joy with which we rejoice for your sakes + before our God; +003:010 night and day praying exceedingly that we may see your face, + and may perfect that which is lacking in your faith? +003:011 Now may our God and Father himself, and our Lord Jesus Christ, + direct our way to you; +003:012 and the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one + toward another, and toward all men, even as we also do toward you, +003:013 to the end he may establish your hearts blameless in holiness + before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus + with all his saints. +004:001 Finally then, brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, + that as you received from us how you ought to walk and to + please God, that you abound more and more. +004:002 For you know what charge we gave you through the Lord Jesus. +004:003 For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you + abstain from sexual immorality, +004:004 that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own + vessel in sanctification and honor, +004:005 not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don't know God; +004:006 that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother + or sister in this matter; because the Lord is an avenger + in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified. +004:007 For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification. +004:008 Therefore he who rejects this doesn't reject man, but God, + who has also given his Holy Spirit to you. +004:009 But concerning brotherly love, you have no need that one write + to you. For you yourselves are taught by God to love one another, +004:010 for indeed you do it toward all the brothers who are in + all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brothers, that you abound + more and more; +004:011 and that you make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, + and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, + even as we charged you; +004:012 that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, + and may have need of nothing. +004:013 But we don't want you to be ignorant, brothers, concerning those + who have fallen asleep, so that you don't grieve like the rest, + who have no hope. +004:014 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God + will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. +004:015 For this we tell you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, + who are left to the coming of the Lord, will in no way precede + those who have fallen asleep. +004:016 For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, + with the voice of the archangel, and with God's trumpet. + The dead in Christ will rise first, +004:017 then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together + with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. + So we will be with the Lord forever. +004:018 Therefore comfort one another with these words. +005:001 But concerning the times and the seasons, brothers, you have + no need that anything be written to you. +005:002 For you yourselves know well that the day of the Lord comes + like a thief in the night. +005:003 For when they are saying, "Peace and safety," then sudden destruction + will come on them, like birth pains on a pregnant woman; + and they will in no way escape. +005:004 But you, brothers, aren't in darkness, that the day should + overtake you like a thief. +005:005 You are all children of light, and children of the day. + We don't belong to the night, nor to darkness, +005:006 so then let's not sleep, as the rest do, but let's watch + and be sober. +005:007 For those who sleep, sleep in the night, and those who are drunk + are drunk in the night. +005:008 But let us, since we belong to the day, be sober, putting on + the breastplate of faith and love, and, for a helmet, + the hope of salvation. +005:009 For God didn't appoint us to wrath, but to the obtaining + of salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, +005:010 who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live + together with him. +005:011 Therefore exhort one another, and build each other up, + even as you also do. +005:012 But we beg you, brothers, to know those who labor among you, + and are over you in the Lord, and admonish you, +005:013 and to respect and honor them in love for their work's sake. + Be at peace among yourselves. +005:014 We exhort you, brothers, admonish the disorderly, encourage + the fainthearted, support the weak, be patient toward all. +005:015 See that no one returns evil for evil to anyone, but always + follow after that which is good, for one another, and for all. +005:016 Rejoice always. +005:017 Pray without ceasing. +005:018 In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God + in Christ Jesus toward you. +005:019 Don't quench the Spirit. +005:020 Don't despise prophesies. +005:021 Test all things, and hold firmly that which is good. +005:022 Abstain from every form of evil. +005:023 May the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. + May your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless + at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. +005:024 He who calls you is faithful, who will also do it. +005:025 Brothers, pray for us. +005:026 Greet all the brothers with a holy kiss. +005:027 I solemnly charge you by the Lord that this letter be read + to all the holy brothers. +005:028 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you.
