Study to show yourself approved
To hear these words
Well done My good and faithful servant
1 Thessalonians 4:1-12
1 And furthermore brethren we plead with you, and encourage you in the Lord Jesus, that you increase more and more, in what you have received of us, as to how you should to walk out your life, and to please God.
2 For you know the commandments we gave to you came from the Lord Jesus.
3 For this is the will of God even your sanctification, and that you should abstain from fornication,
4 That every one of you should know, how to conduct this life given to you in holiness and honor,
5 And not in the lust of sexual pleaser, as the Gentiles who do not know God:
6 That no man is to oppress or defraud his brother in any matter: for the Lord is the punisher of all such things, as we also have told you before, and testified of before you.
7 For God has not called us to be impure uncleanness, but to holiness and sanctification.
8 He who then despises these things does not despise man, but despises God who has even given you His Holy Spirit.
9 But as for brotherly love, you don’t need that I should write to you: for you are taught by God to love one another.
10 Yes, and brotherly love you truly do to all the brethren, which are throughout all Macedonia: but we plead with you brethren, that you increase in love more and more,
11 And that you study to be quiet, and to meddle with your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you.
12 That you may behave yourselves properly toward them that are without, so that nothing is lacking in your life.
