Sanctification and Love

Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:1 -

Finally then, brothers and sisters, we request and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received instruction from us as to how you ought to [fn]walk and please God (just as you actually do [fn]walk), that you excel even more.

Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:2 - For you know what instructions we gave you [fn]by the authority of the Lord Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:3 - For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality;
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:4 - that each of you know how to [fn]possess his own [fn]vessel in sanctification and honor,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:5 - not in [fn]lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God;
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:6 - and that no one violate the rights and take advantage of his brother or sister in the matter, because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also told you previously and solemnly warned you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:7 - For God has not called us for [fn]impurity, but in sanctification.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:8 - Therefore, the one who rejects this is not rejecting man, but the God who gives His Holy Spirit to you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:9 -

Now as to the love of the brothers and sisters, you have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another;

Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:10 - for indeed you practice it toward all the brothers and sisters who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers and sisters, to excel even more,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 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 instructed you,
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:12 - so that you will [fn]behave properly toward outsiders and [fn]not be in any need.

Those Who Died in Christ

Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:13 -

But we do not want you to be uninformed, brothers and sisters, about those who [fn]are asleep, so that you will not grieve as indeed the rest of mankind do, who have no hope.

Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:14 - For if we believe that Jesus died and rose from the dead, so also God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep [fn]through Jesus.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:15 - For we say this to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive [fn]and remain until the coming of the Lord will not precede those who have fallen asleep.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:16 - For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a [fn]shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:17 - Then we who are alive, who remain, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Th 4:18 - Therefore, [fn]comfort one another with these words.
