1: FinallyG3063 then,G3767 brothers,G0080 we imploreG2065 youG4771 andG2532 exhortG3870 inG1722 [the] LordG2962 JesusG2424 that,G2443 just asG2531 you have receivedG3880 fromG3844 usG1473 -G3588 in what mannerG4459 it behoovesG1163 youG4771 to walkG4043 andG2532 to pleaseG0700 God,G2316 just asG2531 evenG2532 you walk [now],G4043 soG2443 you should aboundG4052 more.G3123

2: You knowG1492 forG1063 whatG5101 instructionsG3852 we gaveG1325 you,G4771 throughG1223 theG3588 LordG2962 Jesus.G2424

3: ThisG3778 forG1063 isG1510 [the] willG2307 -G3588 of God,G2316 theG3588 sanctificationG0038 of you:G4771 To abstainG0568 you [are]G4771 fromG0575 -G3588 sexual immorality;G4202

4: to knowG1492 eachG1538 of you [how]G4771 theG3588 of himselfG1438 vesselG4632 to controlG2932 inG1722 holinessG0038 andG2532 honor,G5092

5: notG3361 inG1722 [the] passionG3806 of lust,G1939 asG2509 alsoG2532 theG3588 Gentiles,G1484 -G3588 notG3361 knowingG1492 -G3588 God;G2316

6: -G3588 notG3361 to go beyondG5233 andG2532 to overreachG4122 inG1722 theG3588 matter,G4229 theG3588 brotherG0080 of him,G0846 becauseG1360 avenging [is]G1558 [the] LordG2962 concerningG4012 allG3956 these things,G3778 just asG2531 alsoG2532 we told beforeG4302 you,G4771 andG2532 thoroughly warned.G1263

7: NotG3756 forG1063 has calledG2564 usG1473 -G3588 GodG2316 toG1909 impurity,G0167 butG0235 intoG1722 holiness.G0038

8: So then,G5105 the [one]G3588 rejecting [this],G0114 notG3756 manG0444 disregards,G0114 butG0235 -G3588 God,G2316 the [One]G3588 alsoG2532 givingG1325 theG3588 SpiritG4151 of HimG0846 -G3588 HolyG0040 toG1519 you.G4771

9: ConcerningG4012 nowG1161 -G3588 brotherly love,G5360 noG3756 needG5532 you have [for me]G2192 to writeG1125 to you,G4771 yourselvesG0846 forG1063 youG4771 taught by GodG2312 are,G1510 in orderG1519 -G3588 to loveG0025 one another.G0240

10: AndG2532 forG1063 you are doingG4160 thisG0846 towardG1519 allG3956 theG3588 brothers,G0080 the [ones]G3588 inG1722 allG3650 -G3588 Macedonia.G3109 We exhortG3870 howeverG1161 you,G4771 brothers,G0080 to aboundG4052 more and more,G3123

11: andG2532 to strive earnestlyG5389 to live quietlyG2270 andG2532 to attend toG4238 theG3588 own,G2398 andG2532 to work withG2038 theG3588 ownG2398 handsG5495 of you,G4771 just asG2531 youG4771 we commanded,G3853

12: so thatG2443 you may walkG4043 properlyG2156 towardG4314 thoseG3588 outside,G1854 andG2532 of no oneG3367 needG5532 may have.G2192

13: NotG3756 we do wantG2309 butG1161 youG4771 to be ignorant,G0050 brothers,G0080 concerningG4012 thoseG3588 having fallen asleep,G2837 so thatG2443 notG3361 you should be grieved,G3076 just asG2531 alsoG2532 theG3588 rest,G3062 thoseG3588 notG3361 havingG2192 hope.G1680

14: IfG1487 forG1063 we believeG4100 thatG3754 JesusG2424 diedG0599 andG2532 rose again,G0450 soG3779 alsoG2532 -G3588 God,G2316 thoseG3588 having fallen asleepG2837 throughG1223 -G3588 Jesus,G2424 will bringG0071 withG4862 Him.G0846

15: ThisG3778 forG1063 to youG4771 we declareG3004 inG1722 [the] wordG3056 of [the] Lord,G2962 thatG3754 weG1473 theG3588 livingG2198 -G3588 remaining,G4035 untoG1519 theG3588 comingG3952 of theG3588 LordG2962 noG3756 notG3361 shall precedeG5348 thoseG3588 having fallen asleep,G2837

16: becauseG3754 HimselfG0846 theG3588 LordG2962 withG1722 a loud command,G2752 withG1722 the voiceG5456 of an archangel,G0743 andG2532 withG1722 [the] trumpetG4536 of God,G2316 will descendG2597 fromG0575 heaven,G3772 andG2532 theG3588 deadG3498 inG1722 ChristG5547 will riseG0450 first.G4412

17: ThenG1899 weG1473 theG3588 livingG2198 -G3588 remaining,G4035 togetherG0260 withG4862 them,G0846 will be caught awayG0726 inG1722 [the] cloudsG3507 forG1519 [the] meetingG0529 of theG3588 LordG2962 inG1519 [the] air;G0109 andG2532 soG3779 alwaysG3842 withG4862 [the] LordG2962 we will be.G1510

18: ThereforeG5620 encourageG3870 one anotherG0240 withG1722 theG3588 wordsG3056 these.G3778
