and encourage you not to be led astray, any of you, in all these troubles. You know yourselves that this is what we must expect,

For the rest, brethren, we request and exhort you, in our Lord Jesus, that, even as ye received from us, how ye must needs walk and please God, - even as ye also do walk, that ye would abound still more.

For it is God's will that you be sanctified: You must abstain from sexual immorality.

Each of you must know how to control his own body in a holy and honorable manner,

Furthermore, you must never take advantage of or exploit a brother in this regard, because the Lord avenges all these things, just as we already told you and warned you.

But I would not have you ignorant, brothers, about those who are falling asleep. You must not sorrow like other men, who have no hope.

for if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, we must believe that God by Jesus will raise the dead, and assemble them with him.

So then, we must not sleep like the rest, but must be on the alert and be self-controlled.

But since we belong to the day, let's be sober. We must put on the breastplate of faith and love, and the hope of salvation as a helmet.
