1 Thessalonians 4:9

7 For God did not call us to uncleanness, ^abut in holiness.

8 ^aTherefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, ^bwho has also given us His Holy Spirit.

A Brotherly and Orderly Life

9 But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I should write to you, for ^ayou yourselves are taught by God ^bto love one another;

10 and indeed you do so toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, ^athat you increase more and more;

11 that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, ^ato mind your own business, and ^bto work with your own hands, as we commanded you,

12 ^athat you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.

The Comfort of Christ’s Coming

13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen¹ asleep, lest you sorrow ^aas others ^bwho have no hope.

14 For ^aif we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him ^bthose who sleep in Jesus.

15 For this we say to you ^aby the word of the Lord, that ^bwe who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are¹ asleep.
