Original 1611 King James Bible (KJV)

1 Thessalonians 4

1 He exhorteth them to go on forward in all manner of godliness, 6 to live holily and justly, 9 to love one another, 11 and quietly to follow their own business: 13 and last of all to sorrow moderately for the dead. 15 And unto this last exhortation is annexed a brief description of the resurrection, and second coming of Christ to judgment.

 4:1 ¶ Furthermore 3063 then 3767 we beseech 2065 z5719 you, 5209 brethren, 80 and 2532 exhort 3870 z5719 you by 1722 the Lord 2962 Iesus, 2424 that as 2531 yee haue receiued 3880 z5627 of 3844 vs, 2257 how 4459 ye 5209 ought 1163 z5748 to walke, 4043 z5721 and 2532 to please 700 z5721 God, 2316 so y2443 yee would x2443 abound 4052 z5725 more and more. 3123

 4:2 For 1063 yee know 1492 z5758 what 5101 commandements 3852 wee gaue 1325 z5656 you, 5213 by 1223 the x3588 Lord 2962 Iesus. 2424

 4:3 For 1063 this 5124 is 2076 z5748 the will 2307 of God, 2316 [euen] your 5216 sanctification, 38 that yee 5209 should absteine 567 z5733 from 575 fornication: 4202

 4:4 That euery one 1538 of you 5216 should know 1492 z5760 how to possesse 2932 z5738 his 1438 vessell 4632 in 1722 sanctification 38 and 2532 honour: 5092

 4:5 Not 3361 in 1722 the lust 3806 of concupiscence, 1939 euen 2532 as 2509 the x3588 Gentiles 1484 which y3588 know 1492 z5761 not 3361 God: 2316

 4:6 That [no 3361 man] goe beyond 5233 z5721 and 2532 defraud 4122 z5721 his y846 x848 brother 80 in 1722 [any] matter, 4229 because y1360 that x1360 the x3588 Lord 2962 is the auenger 1558 of 4012 all 3956 such; 5130 as 2531 we y4277 z0 also 2532 haue forewarned 4277 z5656 you, 5213 and 2532 testified: 1263 z5662

 4:7 For 1063 God 2316 hath y2564 z0 not 3756 called 2564 z5656 vs 2248 vnto 1909 vncleannesse, 167 but 235 vnto 1722 holinesse. 38

 4:8 He therefore y5105 that despiseth, 114 z5723 x5105 despiseth 114 z5719 not 3756 man, 444 but 235 God, 2316 who hath y1325 z0 also y2532 giuen 1325 z5631 x2532 vnto 1519 vs 2248 his y846 x848 holy 40 Spirit. 4151

 4:9 But 1161 as touching 4012 brotherly loue, 5360 ye need 2192 5532 z5719 not 3756 that I write 1125 z5721 vnto you: 5213 for 1063 yee 5210 your selues 846 are 2075 z5748 taught of God 2312 to 1519 loue 25 z5721 one an other. 240

 4:10 And y2532 x1063 in deed y1063 x2532 ye doe 4160 z5719 it 846 towards 1519 all 3956 the x3588 brethren, 80 which 3588 are in 1722 all 3650 Macedonia: 3109 but 1161 we beseech 3870 z5719 you, 5209 brethren, 80 that ye increase 4052 z5721 more and more: 3123

 4:11 And 2532 that ye studie 5389 z5738 to be quiet, 2270 z5721 and 2532 to doe y4238 z5721 your owne businesse, 2398 x4238 and 2532 to worke x2038 with y2038 z5738 your 5216 owne 2398 hands, 5495 (as 2531 wee commanded 3853 z5656 you:) 5213

 4:12 That 2443 ye may walke 4043 z5725 honestly 2156 toward 4314 them that are without, 1854 and 2532 that ye may haue 2192 z5725 lacke 5532 of nothing. 3367

 4:13 But 1161 I would 2309 z0 not 3756 haue y2309 z5719 you 5209 to be ignorant, 50 z5721 brethren, 80 concerning 4012 them which are asleepe, 2837 z5772 that y3363 z0 x2443 ye sorrow 3076 z5747 not, y3363 x3361 euen 2532 as 2531 others 3062 which y3588 haue 2192 z5723 no 3361 hope. 1680

 4:14 For 1063 if 1487 we beleeue 4100 z5719 that 3754 Iesus 2424 died, 599 z5627 and 2532 rose againe: 450 z5627 euen so 3779 them also y2532 which sleepe 2837 z5685 x2532 in 1223 Iesus, 2424 will y71 z0 God 2316 bring 71 z5692 with 4862 him. 846

 4:15 For 1063 this 5124 we say 3004 z5719 vnto you 5213 by 1722 the word 3056 of the Lord, 2962 That 3754 we 2249 which y3588 are aliue 2198 z5723 and remaine 4035 z5742 vnto 1519 the x3588 comming 3952 of the x3588 Lord, 2962 shall y5348 z0 not 3364 preuent 5348 z5661 them which y3588 are asleepe. 2837 z5685

 4:16 For 3754 the x3588 Lord 2962 himselfe 846 shall descend 2597 z5695 from 575 heauen 3772 with 1722 a shout, 2752 with 1722 the voyce 5456 of the Archangel, 743 and 2532 with 1722 the trumpe 4536 of God: 2316 and 2532 the x3588 dead 3498 in 1722 Christ 5547 shall rise 450 z5698 first. 4412

 4:17 Then 1899 we 2249 which y3588 are aliue, 2198 z5723 and remaine, 4035 z5742 shalbe caught vp 726 z5691 together 260 with 4862 them 846 in 1722 the clouds, 3507 to y1519 meet 529 x1519 the x3588 Lord 2962 in 1519 the aire: 109 and 2532 so 3779 shall wee y2071 z0 euer 3842 bee 2071 z5704 with 4862 the Lord. 2962

 4:18 Wherefore, 5620 comfort 3870 z5720 one an other 240 with 1722 these 5125 words. 3056
