1 Thessalonians 4 · King James Version
英王钦定本圣经 · 简体 · 上帝版 · 共 18 节
弟兄们，我还有话说；我们靠着 主耶稣求你们，劝你们，你们既然受了我们的教训，知道该怎样行可以讨 上帝的喜悦，就要照你们现在所行的更加勉励。
Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort [you] by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, [so] ye would abound more and more.
你们原晓得我们凭 主耶稣传给你们甚麽命令。
For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
上帝的旨意就是要你们成为圣洁，远避淫行；
For this is the will of God, [even] your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
要你们各人晓得怎样用圣洁丶尊贵守着自己的身体。
That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
不放纵私欲的色欲，像那不认识 上帝的外邦人。
Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
不要有人在甚麽事上越分，亏负他的兄弟；因为这一切的事， 主必报应，正如我预先对你们说过，又切切嘱咐你们的。
That no [man] go beyond and defraud his brother in [any] matter: because that the Lord [is] the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
上帝召我们，本不是要我们沾染污秽，乃是要我们成为圣洁。
For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
所以那藐视的，不是藐视人，乃是藐视那赐圣 灵给我们的 上帝。
He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
论到弟兄们相爱，不用我写信给你们；因为你们自己蒙了 上帝的教训，叫你们彼此相爱。
But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
你们向马其顿全地的众弟兄固然是这样行，但我劝弟兄们要更加勉励。
And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;
又要学习作安静人，办自己的事，亲手作工，正如我们从前所吩咐你们的，
And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
叫你们可以向外人行事端正，自己也就没有甚麽缺乏了。
That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and [that] ye may have lack of nothing.
论到睡了的人，我不愿意弟兄们不知道，恐怕你们忧伤，像那些没有盼望的人一样。
But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
我们若信耶稣死而复活了，那已经在耶稣里睡了的人， 上帝也必将他与耶稣一同带来。
For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
我们现在照 主的话告诉你们一件事：我们这活着还存留到 主降临的人，断不能在那已经睡了的人之先。
For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive [and] remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
因为 主必亲自从天降临，有呼叫的声音和天使长的声音，又有 上帝的号吹响；那在 基督里死了的人必先复活。
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
以後我们这活着还存留的人必和他们一同被提到云里，在空中与 主相遇。这样，我们就要和 主永远同在。
Then we which are alive [and] remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
所以，你们当用这些话彼此劝慰。
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
