1 G3063 Finally G3767 then, G80 brothers, G2065 we beg G2532 and G3870 exhort G5209 you G1722 in G2962 the Lord G2424 Jesus, G2531 that as G5209 you G3880 received G2257 from us G4459 how G5209 you G1163 ought G4043 to walk G2532 and G700 to please G2316 God, G2443 that G4052 you abound G3123 more and more.

2 G1063 For G1492 you know G5101 what G3852 instructions G1325 we gave G5213 you G1223 through G2962 the Lord G2424 Jesus.

3 G1063 For G5124 this G2076 is G2307 the will G2316 of God: G5216 your G38 sanctification, G567 that G5209 you G567 abstain G575 from G4202 sexual immorality,

4 G1492 that G1538 each one G5216 of you G1492 know how G2932 to possess G1438 himself of his G4632 own vessel G1722 in G38 sanctification G2532 and G5092 honor,

5 G3361 not G1722 in G1939 the passion G3806 of lust, G2532 even G2509 as G1484 the Gentiles G3588 who G3361 don't G1492 know G2316 God;

6 G3588 that G3361 no G5233 one should take advantage G2532 of and G4122 wrong G846 a G80 brother G1722 or sister in G4229 this matter; G1360 because G2962 the Lord G1558 is an avenger G4012 in G3956 all G5130 these things, G2531 as G2532 also G4277 we G4277 forewarned G5213 you G2532 and G1263 testified.

7 G1063 For G2316 God G2564 G2564 called G2248 us G3756 not G1909 for G167 uncleanness, G235 but G1722 in G38 sanctification.

8 G5105 Therefore G114 he G114 who rejects G3756 this doesn't G114 reject G444 man, G235 but G2316 God, G3588 who G1325 has G2532 also G1325 given G846 his G40 Holy G4151 Spirit G1519 to G2248 you.

9 G1161 But G4012 concerning G5360 brotherly love, G3756 you have no G2192 need G1125 that one write G5213 to you. G1063 For G5210 you G846 yourselves G2075 are G2312 taught by God G1519 to G25 love G240 one another,

10 G2532 for G1063 indeed G4160 you do G846 it G1519 toward G3956 all G80 the brothers G3588 who G1722 are in G3650 all G3109 Macedonia. G1161 But G3870 we exhort G5209 you, G80 brothers, G4052 that you abound G3123 more and more;

11 G2532 and G5389 that you make it your ambition G2270 to lead a quiet G2532 life, and G4238 to do G2398 your own business, G2532 and G2038 to work G2398 with G5213 your G2398 own G5495 hands, G2531 even as G3853 we instructed G5213 you;

12 G2443 that G4043 you may walk G2156 properly G4314 toward G3588 those who are G1854 outside, G2532 and G2192 may have G5532 need G3367 of nothing.

13 G1161 But G3756 we don't G2309 want G5209 you G50 to be ignorant, G80 brothers, G4012 concerning G2837 those who have fallen asleep, G2443 so that G3361 you don't G3076 grieve G2532 G2531 like G3062 the rest, G2192 who have G3361 no G1680 hope.

14 G1063 For G1487 if G4100 we believe G3754 that G2424 Jesus G599 died G2532 and G450 rose again, G3779 even so G2316 God G71 will G71 bring G4862 with G846 him G2532 G3588 those G2837 who have fallen asleep G1223 in G2424 Jesus.

15 G1063 For G5124 this G3004 we tell G5213 you G1722 by G3056 the word G2962 of the Lord, G3754 that G2249 we G2198 who are alive, G4035 who are left G1519 to G3952 the coming G2962 of the Lord, G5348 will G3361 in no G5348 way precede G3756 those who have fallen asleep.

16 G3754 For G2962 the Lord G846 himself G2597 will descend G575 from G3772 heaven G1722 with G2752 a shout, G1722 with G5456 the voice G743 of the archangel, G2532 and G1722 with G2316 God's G4536 trumpet. G2532 G3498 The dead G1722 in G5547 Christ G450 will rise G4412 first,

17 G1899 then G2249 we G2198 who are alive, G4035 who are left, G726 will be caught up G260 together G4862 with G846 them G1722 in G3507 the clouds, G1519 to G529 meet G2962 the Lord G1519 in G109 the air. G2532 G3779 So G2071 we G2071 will be G4862 with G2962 the Lord G3842 forever.

18 G5620 Therefore G3870 comfort G240 one another G1722 with G5125 these G3056 words.
