4:1 Finally,
then,
brothers,
we
ask
and
urge
you
in
the
Lord
Jesus,
that
as
you
received
from
us
how
you
ought
to
walk
and
to
please
God,
just
as
you
are
doing,
that
you
do
so
more
and
more.
4:2 For
you
know
what
instructions
we
gave
you
through
the
Lord
Jesus.
4:3 For
this
is
the
will
of
God,
your
sanctification:
that
you
abstain
from
sexual
immorality;
4:4 that
each
one
of
you
know
how
to
control
his
own
body
in
holiness
and
honor,
4:5 not
in
the
passion
of
lust
like
the
Gentiles
who
do
not
know
God;
4:6 that
no
one
transgress
and
wrong
his
brother
in
this
matter,
because
the
Lord
is
an
avenger
in
all
these
things,
as
we
told
you
beforehand
and
solemnly
warned
you.
4:7 For
God
has
not
called
us
for
impurity,
but
in
holiness.
4:8 Therefore
whoever
disregards
this,
disregards
not
man
but
God,
who
gives
his
Holy
Spirit
to
you.
4:9 Now
concerning
brotherly
love
you
have
no
need
for
anyone
to
write
to
you,
for
you
yourselves
have
been
taught
by
God
to
love
one
another,
4:10 for
that
indeed
is
what
you
are
doing
to
all
the
brothers
throughout
Macedonia.
But
we
urge
you,
brothers,
to
do
this
more
and
more,
4:11 and
to
aspire
to
live
quietly,
and
to
mind
your
own
affairs,
and
to
work
with
your
hands,
as
we
instructed
you,
4:12 so
that
you
may
walk
properly
before
outsiders
and
be
dependent
on
no
one.
4:13 But
we
do
not
want
you
to
be
uninformed,
brothers,
about
those
who
are
asleep,
that
you
may
not
grieve
as
others
do
who
have
no
hope.
4:14 For
since
we
believe
that
Jesus
died
and
rose
again,
even
so,
through
Jesus,
God
will
bring
with
him
those
who
have
fallen
asleep.
4:15 For
this
we
declare
to
you
by
a
word
from
the
Lord,
that
we
who
are
alive,
who
are
left
until
the
coming
of
the
Lord,
will
not
precede
those
who
have
fallen
asleep.
4:16 For
the
Lord
himself
will
descend
from
heaven
with
a
cry
of
command,
with
the
voice
of
an
archangel,
and
with
the
sound
of
the
trumpet
of
God.
And
the
dead
in
Christ
will
rise
first.
4:17 Then
we
who
are
alive,
who
are
left,
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.
4:18 Therefore
encourage
one
another
with
these
words.
