1 Tessalonicenses 4

KJV
Jumalale meelepärasest elust

1 Mis puudutab teisi asju, vennad ja õed, me oleme teid juhatanud elama Jumalale meelepärast elu nii, nagu te elategi. Nüüd me palume ja julgustame teid Issandas Jeesuses seda veel enam tegema. 2 Te ju teate, millised korraldused me teile oleme Issanda Jeesuse poolt andnud.

3 Jumala tahe on, et te oleksite pühitsetud: väldiksite sugukõlvatust, 4 et igaüks teist õpiks valitsema oma ihu pühal ja auväärsel viisil, 5 mitte kirglikus himus nagu paganad, kes ei tunne Jumalat. 6 Ärgu ka ükski tehku ülekohut oma venna või õe vastu ega kasutagu teda ära, sest Issand karistab kõiki, kes säärast pattu teevad, nagu me oleme teile varem rääkinud ja teid hoiatanud. 7 Jumal ei ole ju kutsunud meid rüvedusele, vaid pühitsusele. 8 Kes seda korraldust eirab, ei eira inimest, vaid Jumalat, kes oma Püha Vaimu teisse annab.

9 Vennaarmastusest aga pole meil tarvis teile kirjutadagi, sest Jumal on teid õpetanud üksteist armastama 10 ja te olete kohelnud armastavalt kõiki vendi ja õdesid kogu Makedoonias. Seda, vennad ja õed, me manitseme teid tegema üha enam ja enam 11 ja seadke endale eesmärgiks elada vaikset elu, tegeleda oma asjadega ning teha tööd oma kätega, nagu me oleme teid juhatanud, 12 et teie käitumine leiaks lugupidamist väljaspool kogudust ja te ei vajaks ülalpidamist kelleltki.

Issanda tulemine

13 Me ei taha teid, vennad ja õed, jätta teadmatusse nende suhtes, kes on läinud magama, et te ei kurvastaks, nagu need, kellel puudub lootus! 14 Sest kui me usume, et Jeesus on surnud ja üles tõusnud, siis me usume ka, et Jumal äratab Jeesuse kaudu üles need, kes koos temaga on läinud magama.

15 Seda me ütleme teile Issanda sõnaga, et meie, kes oleme veel elus ja kes on jäänud Issanda tulekuni, ei jõua ette neist, kes on läinud magama. 16 Sest Issand ise tuleb sõjahüüu, peaingli hääle ja Jumala pasunaheli saatel taevast alla ning esmalt tõusevad üles need, kes on surnud Kristuses. 17 Seejärel haaratakse meid, kes oleme veel elus ja järele jäänud, koos nendega pilvedesse, et kohtuda õhus Issandaga. Ja nii saame me igavesti olla koos Issandaga. 18 Julgustage üksteist nende sõnadega!

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. 2 For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: 4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; 5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: 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. 7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. 8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit. 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. 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; 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; 12 That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.

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. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 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. 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: 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. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
