\subsection{I Thessalonians 4} \VS{1} Furthermore therefore, brothers, we ask\fnErotao{} you and we call upon you in [the] Lord Jesus, that just as you received from us how you must be walking and pleasing God, just as you indeed are walking, that you abound more. \VS{2} For you know what instruction we gave you through the Lord Jesus. \VS{3} For this is [the] will of God, [even] your holyfication: to stay away from fornication, \VS{4} that each [of you] know [how] to possess his own vessel in holiness and honor, \VS{5} not in [the] passion of lust even as the nations who do not know God, \VS{6} to not be transgressing and defrauding his brother in [any] matter, because [the] Lord [is] avenger of all these, just as we foretold you and warned [you]. \VS{7} For God did not call you for uncleanness, but for holiness. \VS{8} Therefore the [one] rejecting, rejects not man but God, who gave his Holy Spirit to us. \VS{9} But concerning brotherly-philia-love, you do not have need [for me] to be writing to you, for you yourselves are God-taught to be agape-loving one another. \VS{10} For indeed you do it to all the brothers in all Macedonia. But we call upon you, brothers, to be abounding more, \VS{11} and to be aspiring to be being quiet and to be practicing your own [thing] and to be working with your hands, just as we instructed you, \VS{12} in order that you walk properly towards those outside and have no need. \VS{13} For we do not want you to be being ignorant, brothers, concerning those sleeping, in order that you not be pained even as the rest who have no hope. \VS{14} For if we believe that Jesus died and rose, this also will God bring those having fallen asleep through Christ with him. \VS{15} For this we speak to you by word of [the] Lord, that we the zoe-living\fnZoe{}, those left behind for the coming of the Lord, will \negd{not} precede those having fallen asleep. \VS{16} For the Lord himself with [a] shout, with [the] voice of [the] archangel and with [the] trumpet of God, will come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first, \VS{17} then the zoe-living\fnZoe{}, those left behind, will with them be snatched in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and thus will we always be with the Lord. \VS{18} So be encouraging one another with these words.
