1 Thess 4:8 So, he who rejects this is not rejecting man but the God who gives His Holy Spirit to you.
1 Thess 4:9 ¶ Now as to the love of the brethren, you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another;
1 Thess 4:10 for indeed you do practice it toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, to excel still more,
1 Thess 4:11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life and attend to your own business and work with your hands, just as we commanded you,
1 Thess 4:12 so that you will behave properly toward outsiders and not be in any need.
1 Thess 4:13 ¶ 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.
1 Thess 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.
1 Thess 4:15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.
1 Thess 4:16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
1 Thess 4:17 Then we who are alive and 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.
1 Thess 4:18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.
1 Thess 5:1 Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you.
1 Thess 5:2 For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.
1 Thess 5:3 While they are saying, "Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.
1 Thess 5:4 But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day would overtake you like a thief;
1 Thess 5:5 for you are all sons of light and sons of day. We are not of night nor of darkness;
1 Thess 5:6 so then let us not sleep as others do, but let us be alert and sober.
1 Thess 5:7 For those who sleep do their sleeping at night, and those who get drunk get drunk at night.
1 Thess 5:8 But since we are of the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation.
1 Thess 5:9 For God has not destined us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,
