G2532–καί–kai

As to the rest, then, brethren, we request you, and call upon you in the Lord Jesus, as ye did receive from us how it behoveth you to walk and to please God, that ye may abound the more,

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “also”

that each of you know his own vessel to possess in sanctification and honour,

καὶ kai “and”

not in the affection of desire, as also the nations that were not knowing God,

καὶ kai “also”

that no one go beyond and defraud in the matter his brother, because an avenger `is' the Lord of all these, as also we spake before to you and testified,

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “and”

he, therefore, who is despising -- doth not despise man, but God, who also did give His Holy Spirit to us.

καὶ kai “also”

for ye do it also to all the brethren who `are' in all Macedonia; and we call upon you, brethren, to abound still more,

καὶ kai “And”

and to study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we did command you,

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

that ye may walk becomingly unto those without, and may have lack of nothing.

καὶ kai “and”

And I do not wish you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, that ye may not sorrow, as also the rest who have not hope,

καὶ kai “also”

for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also God those asleep through Jesus he will bring with him,

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “also”

because the Lord himself, in a shout, in the voice of a chief-messenger, and in the trump of God, shall come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ shall rise first,

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

then we who are living, who are remaining over, together with them shall be caught away in clouds to meet the Lord in air, and so always with the Lord we shall be;

καὶ kai “and”

And concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need of my writing to you,

καὶ kai “and”

for when they may say, Peace and surety, then sudden destruction doth stand by them, as the travail `doth' her who is with child, and they shall not escape;

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

all ye are sons of light, and sons of day; we are not of night, nor of darkness,

καὶ kai “and”

so, then, we may not sleep as also the others, but watch and be sober,

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “and”

for those sleeping, by night do sleep, and those making themselves drunk, by night are drunken,

καὶ kai “and”

and we, being of the day -- let us be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and an helmet -- a hope of salvation,

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

wherefore, comfort ye one another, and build ye up, one the one, as also ye do.

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “also”

And we ask you, brethren, to know those labouring among you, and leading you in the Lord, and admonishing you,

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

and to esteem them very abundantly in love, because of their work; be at peace among yourselves;

καὶ kai “and”

see no one evil for evil may render to any one, but always that which is good pursue ye, both to one another and to all;

καὶ kai “also”καὶ kai “and”

and the God of the peace Himself sanctify you wholly, and may your whole spirit, and soul, and body, be preserved unblameably in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ;

καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”καὶ kai “and”

stedfast is He who is calling you, who also will do `it'.

καὶ kai “also”

Brethren, pray for us;

καὶ kai “also”
