1 Thessalonians 4:15
By the same word of the Lord, we declare this: those of us who are alive at His coming will not precede those who have fallen asleep.
By the same word of the Lord, we declare this: those of us who are alive at His coming will not precede those who have fallen asleep.
Since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, in the same way, through Jesus, God will bring with him those who have died.
The Coming of the Lord Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who are already asleep, so that you do not grieve like those who have no hope.
By following these rules, you will earn the respect of outsiders and be self-reliant.
Consider how important it is to live quietly, not disturbing others, to mind your own business, and to work with your hands as we have instructed you.
You already practice it with all the brothers and sisters in Macedonia, but I invite you to do more.
Regarding mutual love, you don’t need anyone to write to you because God himself taught you how to love one another.
and those who do not follow this instruction disobey not merely a human, but God himself, who gives you his Holy Spirit.
In this matter, let no one offend or wrong a brother or sister. The Lord will bring justice in all these matters, as we have warned and shown you.
