Chapter 4 Furthermore then, we beseech
you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord

00:05.540 --> 00:10.440
Jesus, that as ye have received of us how
he ought to walk and to please God,

00:10.980 --> 00:13.040
so ye would abound more and more.

00:13.640 --> 00:16.500
For ye know what commandments we gave you
by the Lord Jesus.

00:16.880 --> 00:21.520
For this is the will of God, even your
sanctification, that ye should abstain

00:21.520 --> 00:26.280
from fornication, that every one of you
should know how to possess his vessel in

00:26.280 --> 00:31.920
sanctification and honor, not in the lust
of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles

00:31.920 --> 00:33.100
which know not God.

00:33.840 --> 00:38.500
That no man go beyond and defraud his
brother in any matter, because that the

00:38.500 --> 00:42.660
Lord is the avenger of all such,
as we also have forewarned you and

00:42.660 --> 00:43.100
testified.

00:43.880 --> 00:47.440
For God hath not called us unto
uncleanness, but unto holiness.

00:48.440 --> 00:54.560
He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not
man, but God, who hath also given unto us

00:54.560 --> 00:55.500
his Holy Spirit.

00:55.500 --> 00:59.960
But as touching brotherly love,
ye need not that I write unto you.

01:00.280 --> 01:05.240
For ye yourselves are taught of God to
love one another, and indeed ye do it

01:05.240 --> 01:07.680
toward all the brethren which are in all
Macedonia.

01:08.180 --> 01:13.080
But we beseech you, brethren, that ye
increase more and more, and that ye study

01:13.080 --> 01:17.020
to be quiet, and to do your own business,
and to work with your own hands,

01:17.200 --> 01:18.300
as we commanded you.

01:18.960 --> 01:23.740
That ye may walk honestly toward them that
are without, and that ye may have lack of

01:23.740 --> 01:24.040
nothing.

01:24.040 --> 01:28.320
But I would not have you to be ignorant,
brethren, concerning them which are

01:28.320 --> 01:31.900
asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others
which have no hope.

01:32.280 --> 01:37.100
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose
again, even so them also which sleep in

01:37.100 --> 01:38.480
Jesus will God bring with him.

01:38.980 --> 01:43.360
For this we say unto you by the word of
the Lord, that we which are alive and

01:43.360 --> 01:47.180
remain unto the coming of the Lord shall
not prevent them which are asleep.

01:47.700 --> 01:52.540
For the Lord himself shall descend from
heaven with a shout, with the voice of the

01:52.540 --> 01:57.700
archangel, and with the trump of God,
and the dead in Christ shall rise first.

01:58.560 --> 02:02.680
Then we which are alive and remain shall
be caught up together with them in the

02:02.680 --> 02:07.460
clouds to meet the Lord in the air,
and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

02:08.220 --> 02:11.000
Wherefore, comfort one another with these
words.
