Always with the Lord

[1Thess 4:17-18]

v.17, 18
Finally, brothers, we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus: as you received from us instruction in how you ought to live and please God — and this is how you are living — do so all the more.
For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
This is the will of God: your sanctification. Keep away from sexual immorality.
Each of you must know how to take a wife for himself in holiness and honor,* [*Or: how to control his own body in holiness and honor.]
not in the passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God.
No one should overstep or take advantage of his brother in this matter, because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, as we told you before and solemnly warned you.
For God did not call us to impurity, but to live in holiness.
Therefore whoever rejects this does not reject a human being but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.
About brotherly love there is no need to write to you, for you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another,
and indeed you are doing this for all the brothers throughout Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers, to do so all the more,
and to make it your ambition to live quietly, to mind your own affairs, and to work with your hands, just as we instructed you,
so that you may conduct yourselves properly toward outsiders and be dependent on no one.
We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about those who have fallen asleep, so that you may not grieve like the rest, who have no hope.
For since we believe that Jesus died and rose again, so also God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep through Jesus.
This we tell you by the word of the Lord: we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a commanding shout, with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will always be with the Lord.
So encourage one another with these words.
