절	Contemporary English Version (2006)	King James Version
1	A Life That Pleases God Finally, my dear friends, since you belong to the Lord Jesus, we beg and urge you to live as we taught you. Then you will please God. You are already living that way, but try even harder.	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	Remember the instructions we gave you as followers of the Lord Jesus.	For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
3	God wants you to be holy, so don't be immoral in matters of sex.	For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
4	Respect and honor your wife.	That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
5	Don't be a slave of your desires or live like people who don't know God.	Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
6	You must not cheat any of the Lord's followers in matters of sex. Remember, we warned you that he punishes everyone who does such things.	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	God didn't choose you to be filthy, but to be pure.	For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
8	So if you don't obey these rules, you are not really disobeying us. Instead, you are disobeying God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.	He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
9	We don't have to write you about the need to love each other. God has taught you to do this,	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 you already have shown your love for all his people in Macedonia. But, my dear friends, we ask you to do even more.	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	Try your best to live quietly, to mind your own business, and to work hard, just as we taught you to do.	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	Then you will be respected by people who are not followers of the Lord, and you won't have to depend on anyone.	That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
13	The Lord's Coming My friends, we want you to understand how it will be for those followers who have already died. Then you won't grieve over them and be like people who don't have any hope.	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	We believe Jesus died and was raised to life. We also believe that when God brings Jesus back again, he will bring with him all who had faith in Jesus before they died.	For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
15	Our Lord Jesus told us that when he comes, we won't go up to meet him ahead of his followers who have already died.	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	With a loud command and with the shout of the chief angel and a blast of God's trumpet, the Lord will return from heaven. Then those who had faith in Christ before they died will be raised to life.	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	Next, all of us who are still alive will be taken up into the clouds together with them to meet the Lord in the sky. From that time on we will all be with the Lord forever.	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	Encourage each other with these words.	Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
