DRC, KJV, VulgClementine - I Thessalonians - 4

4:1  For the rest therefore, brethren, pray and beseech you in the Lord Jesus that, as you have received from us, how you ought to walk and to please God, so also you would walk, that you may abound the more.

4:1  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.

4:1  De cetero ergo, fratres, rogamus vos et obsecramus in Domino Jesu, ut quemadmodum accepistis a nobis quomodo oporteat vos ambulare, et placere Deo, sic et ambuletis ut abundetis magis.

4:2  For you know what precepts I have given to you by the Lord Jesus.

4:2  For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

4:2  Scitis enim quæ præcepta dederim vobis per Dominum Jesum.

4:3  For this is the will of God, your sanctification: That you should abstain from fornication:

4:3  For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

4:3  Hæc est enim voluntas Dei, sanctificatio vestra : ut abstineatis vos a fornicatione,

4:4  That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour,

4:4  That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;

4:4  ut sciat unusquisque vestrum vas suum possidere in sanctificatione, et honore :

4:5  Not in the passion of lust, like the Gentiles that know not God:

4:5  Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:

4:5  non in passione desiderii, sicut et gentes, quæ ignorant Deum :

4:6  And that no man overreach nor circumvent his brother in business: because the Lord is the avenger of all these things, as we have told you before and have testified.

4:6  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.

4:6  et ne quis supergrediatur, neque circumveniat in negotio fratrem suum : quoniam vindex est Dominus de his omnibus, sicut prædiximus vobis, et testificati sumus.

4:7  For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto sanctification.

4:7  For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

4:7  Non enim vocavit nos Deus in immunditiam, sed in sanctificationem.

4:8  Therefore, he that despiseth these things, despiseth not man, but God, who also hath given his holy Spirit in us.

4:8  He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

4:8  Itaque qui hæc spernit, non hominem spernit, sed Deum : qui etiam dedit Spiritum suum Sanctum in nobis.

4:9  But as touching the charity of brotherhood, we have no need to write to you: for yourselves have learned of God to love one another.

4:9  But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

4:9  De caritate autem fraternitatis non necesse habemus scribere vobis : ipsi enim vos a Deo didicistis ut diligatis invicem.

4:10  For indeed you do it towards all the brethren in all Macedonia. But we entreat you, brethren, that you abound more:

4:10  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;

4:10  Etenim illud facitis in omnes fratres in universa Macedonia. Rogamus autem vos, fratres, ut abundetis magis,

4:11  And that you use your endeavour to be quiet: and that you do your own business and work with your own hands, as we commanded you: and that you walk honestly towards them that are without: and that you want nothing of any man's.

4:11  And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

4:11  et operam detis ut quieti sitis, et ut vestrum negotium agatis, et operemini manibus vestris, sicut præcepimus vobis :

4:12  And we will not have you ignorant brethren, concerning them that are asleep, that you be not sorrowful, even as others who have no hope.

4:12  That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.

4:12  et ut honeste ambuletis ad eos qui foris sunt : et nullius aliquid desideretis.

4:13  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again: even so them who have slept through Jesus, will God bring with him.

4:13  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.

4:13  Nolumus autem vos ignorare fratres de dormientibus, ut non contristemini sicut et ceteri, qui spem non habent.

4:14  For this we say unto you in the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who remain unto the coming of the Lord, shall not prevent them who have slept.

4:14  For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

4:14  Si enim credimus quod Jesus mortuus est, et resurrexit : ita et Deus eos qui dormierunt per Jesum, adducet cum eo.

4:15  For the Lord himself shall come down from heaven with commandment and with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God: and the dead who are in Christ shall rise first.

4:15  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.

4:15  Hoc enim vobis dicimus in verbo Domini, quia nos, qui vivimus, qui residui sumus in adventum Domini, non præveniemus eos qui dormierunt.

4:16  Then we who are alive, who are left, shall be taken up together with them in the clouds to meet Christ, into the air: and so shall we be always with the Lord.

4:16  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:

4:16  Quoniam ipse Dominus in jussu, et in voce archangeli, et in tuba Dei descendet de cælo : et mortui, qui in Christo sunt, resurgent primi.

4:17  Wherefore, comfort ye one another with these words.

4:17  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.

4:17  Deinde nos, qui vivimus, qui relinquimur, simul rapiemur cum illis in nubibus obviam Christo in aëra, et sic semper cum Domino erimus.

4:18  Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

4:18  Itaque consolamini invicem in verbis istis.
