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. 4:12. 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. 4:13. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again: even so them who have slept through Jesus, will God bring with him. 4:14. 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. 4:15. 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. 4:16. 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. 4:17. Wherefore, comfort ye one another with these words. 1 Thessalonians Chapter 5 The day of the Lord shall come when least expected. Exhortations to several duties. 5:1. But of the times and moments, brethren, you need not, that we should write to you: 5:2. For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord shall so come as a thief in the night. 5:3. For when they shall say: Peace and security; then shall sudden destruction come upon them, as the pains upon her that is with child, and they shall not escape. 5:4. But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you as a thief. 5:5. For all you are the children of light and children of the day: we are not of the night nor of darkness. 5:6. Therefore, let us not sleep, as others do: but let us watch, and be sober. 5:7. For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that are drunk, are drunk in the night. 5:8. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, having on the breast plate of faith and charity and, for a helmet, the hope of salvation. 5:9. For God hath not appointed us unto wrath: but unto the purchasing of salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 5:10. Who died for us: that, whether we watch or sleep, we may live together with him. 5:11. For which cause comfort one another and edify one another, as you also do. 5:12. And we beseech you, brethren, to know them who labour among you and are over you in the Lord and admonish you; 5:13. That you esteem them more abundantly in charity, for their work's sake. Have peace with them. 5:14. And we beseech you, brethren, rebuke the unquiet: comfort the feeble minded: support the weak: be patient towards all men. The unquiet... That is, such as are irregular and disorderly. 5:15. See that none render evil for evil to any man: but ever follow that which is good towards each other and towards all men. 5:16. Always rejoice. 5:17. Pray without ceasing.
