G3588–ὁ–ho

so as to live worthy lives in relation to outsiders, and not be a burden to any one.

τοὺς tous “those”

Now, concerning those who from time to time pass away, we would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, lest you should mourn as others do who have no hope.

τῶν tōn “those”οἱ hoi “the”οἱ hoi “those”

For if we believe that Jesus has died and risen again, we also believe that, through Jesus, God will bring with Him those who shall have passed away.

ὁ ho “<the>”τοὺς tous “those”τοῦ tou “<the>”

For this we declare to you on the Lord's own authority--that we who are alive and continue on earth until the Coming of the Lord, shall certainly not forestall those who shall have previously passed away.

οἱ hoi “the”οἱ hoi “who”τὴν tēn “the”τοῦ tou “of the”τοὺς tous “those”

For the Lord Himself will come down from Heaven with a loud word of command, and with an archangel's voice and the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

ὁ ho “the”οἱ hoi “the”

Afterwards we who are alive and are still on earth will be caught up in their company amid clouds to meet the Lord in the air.

οἱ hoi “the”οἱ hoi “those”τοῦ tou “of the”

And so we shall be with the Lord for ever. Therefore encourage one another with these words.

τοῖς tois “<the>”

But as to times and dates it is unnecessary that anything be written to you.

τῶν tōn “the”τῶν tōn “the”

For you yourselves know perfectly well that the day of the Lord comes like a thief in the night.

ἡ hē “the”

While they are saying "Peace and safety!" then in a moment destruction falls upon them, like birth-pains on a woman who is with child; and escape there is none.

ἡ hē “the”τῇ tēa “to her”

But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that daylight should surprise you like a thief;

ἡ hē “the”

So then let us not sleep, like the rest of the world, but let us keep awake and be sober.

οἱ hoi “the”

For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who drink freely, drink at night.

οἱ hoi “Those”οἱ hoi “those”

For God has not pre-destined us to meet His anger, but to obtain salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ;

ὁ ho “<the>”τοῦ tou “the”

who died on our behalf, so that whether we are awake or are sleeping we may share His Life.

τοῦ tou “the [One who]”

Therefore encourage one another, and let each one help to strengthen his friend, as in fact you do.

τὸν ton “<the>”

Now we beg you, brethren, to show respect for those who labour among you and are your leaders in Christian work, and are your advisers;

τοὺς tous “those”

and to esteem them very highly in love for their work's sake. Be at peace among yourselves.

τὸ to “the”

And we exhort you, brethren, admonish the unruly, comfort the timid, sustain the weak, and be patient towards all.

τοὺς tous “the”τοὺς tous “the”τῶν tōn “the”

See to it that no one ever repays another with evil for evil; but always seek opportunities of doing good both to one another and to all the world.

τὸ to “the”

Do not quench the Spirit.

τὸ to “The”

but test all such, and retain hold of the good.

τὸ to “To the”

And may God Himself who gives peace, make you entirely holy; and may your spirits, souls and bodies be preserved complete and be found blameless at the Coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

ὁ ho “the”τῆς tēs “<the>”τὸ to “<the>”ἡ hē “<the>”τὸ to “<the>”τῇ tēa “the”τοῦ tou “of the”

Faithful is He who calls you, and He will also perfect His work.

ὁ ho “the [One]”

Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss.

τοὺς tous “the”
