κυριω |  | ιησου |  | καθως |  | παρελαβετε |  | παρ |  | ημων |  | το |  | πως |  | δει |  | υμας |
[the] Lord |  | Jesus, |  | even as |  | ye received |  | from |  | us |  | ♦ |  | how |  | it behoves |  | you |

περιπατειν |  | και |  | αρεσκειν |  | θεω |  | ινα |  | περισσευητε |  | μαλλον |  |
to walk |  | and |  | please |  | God, |  | that |  | ye should abound |  | more. |  |

| 2 | οιδατε |  | γαρ |  | τινας |  | παραγγελιας |  | εδωκαμεν |  | υμιν |  | δια |  | του |  | κυριου |
|  | For ye know |  | ♦ |  | what |  | injunctions |  | we gave |  | you |  | through |  | the |  | Lord |

ιησου |  |
Jesus. |  |

| 3 | τουτο |  | γαρ |  | εστιν |  | θελημα |  | του |  | θεου |  | ο |  | αγιασμος |  | υμων |
|  | For this |  | ♦ |  | is |  | will 2 |  | ♦ |  | God’s, 1 |  | your sanctification, |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |

απεχεσθαι |  | υμας |  | απο |  | της |  | πορνειας |  |
to 3 abstain 4 |  | [for] 1 you 2 |  | from |  | ♦ |  | fornication, |  |

| 4 | ειδεναι |  | εκαστον |  | υμων |  | το |  | εαυτου |  | σκευος |  | κτασθαι |  | εν |
|  | to 4 know 5 |  | each 1 |  | of 2 you 3 [how] |  | his 3 own 4 |  | ♦ |  | vessel 5 |  | to 1 possess 2 |  | in |

αγιασμω |  | και |  | τιμη |  |
sanctification |  | and |  | honour, |  |

| 5 | μη |  | εν |  | παθει |  | επιθυμιας |  | καθαπερ |  | και |  | τα |  | εθνη |  | τα |  | μη |  | ειδοτα |  | τον |
|  | (not |  | in |  | passion |  | of lust |  | even as |  | also |  | the |  | nations |  | who |  | know not |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |

θεον |  |
God,) |  |

| 6 | το |  | μη |  | υπερβαινειν |  | και |  | πλεονεκτειν |  | εν |  | τω |  | πραγματι |  | τον |  | αδελφον |
|  | ♦ |  | not |  | to go beyond |  | and |  | to overreach |  | in |  | the |  | matter |  | his brother; |  | ♦ |

αυτου |  | διοτι |  | εκδικος |  | ο |  | κυριος |  | περι |  | παντων |  | τουτων |  | καθως |
♦ |  | because |  | [the] avenger [is] |  | the |  | Lord |  | concerning |  | all |  | these things, |  | even as |

και |  | προειπαμεν |  | υμιν |  | και |  | διεμαρτυραμεθα |  |
also |  | we told before 2 |  | you 1 |  | and |  | fully testified. |  |

| 7 | ου |  | γαρ |  | εκαλεσεν |  | ημας |  | ο |  | θεος |  | επι |  | ακαθαρσια |  | αλλ |  | εν |  | αγιασμω |  |
|  | For not 4 |  | ♦ |  | called 2 |  | us 3 |  | ♦ |  | God 1 |  | to |  | uncleanness, |  | but |  | in |  | sanctification. |  |

| 8 | τοιγαρουν |  | ο |  | αθετων |  | ουκ |  | ανθρωπον |  | αθετει |  | αλλα |  | τον |  | θεον |  | τον |
|  | So then |  | he that |  | sets aside, |  | not 2 |  | man 3 |  | sets aside, 1 |  | but |  | ♦ |  | God, |  | who |

και |  | δοντα |  | το |  | πνευμα |  | αυτου |  | το |  | αγιον |  | εις |  | ημας |  |
also |  | gave |  | his Spirit |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | Holy |  | to |  | us. |  |

| 9 | περι |  | δε |  | της |  | φιλαδελφιας |  | ου |  | χρειαν |  | εχετε |  | γραφειν |
|  | Now concerning |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | brotherly love |  | no 3 |  | need 4 |  | he 1 have 2 [for me] |  | to write |

υμιν |  | αυτοι |  | γαρ |  | υμεις |  | θεοδιδακτοι |  | εστε |  | εις |  | το |  | αγαπαν |  | αλληλους |  |
to you, |  | for yourselves 2 |  | ♦ |  | ye 1 |  | taught 4 of 5 God 6 |  | are 3 |  | for |  | ♦ |  | to love |  | one another. |  |

| 10 | και |  | γαρ |  | ποιειτε |  | αυτο |  | εις |  | παντας |  | τους |  | αδελφους |  | τους |  | εν |
|  | For also |  | ♦ |  | ye do |  | this |  | towards |  | all |  | the |  | brethren |  | who [are] |  | in |

ολη |  | τη |  | μακεδονια |  | παρακαλουμεν |  | δε |  | υμας |  | αδελφοι |
the whole of Macedonia; |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | but we exhort |  | ♦ |  | you, |  | brethren, |

περισσευειν |  | μαλλον |  |
to abound |  | more, |  |

| 11 | και |  | φιλοτιμεισθαι |  | ησυχαζειν |  | και |  | πρασσειν |  | τα |  | ιδια |  | και |
|  | and |  | endeavour earnestly |  | to be quiet |  | and |  | to do |  | your own things, |  | ♦ |  | and |

εργαζεσθαι |  | ταις |  | ιδιαις |  | χερσιν |  | υμων |  | καθως |  | υμιν |
to work |  | with own 2 hands 3 |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  | your, 1 |  | even as |  | on you |

παρηγγειλαμεν |  |
we enjoined, |  |

| 12 | ινα |  | περιπατητε |  | ευσχημονως |  | προς |  | τους |  | εξω |  | και |  | μηδενος |  | χρειαν |
|  | that |  | ye may walk |  | becomingly |  | towards |  | those |  | without, |  | and |  | of no one |  | need 3 |

εχητε |  |
may 1 have. 2 |  |

| 13 | ου |  | θελω |  | δε |  | υμας |  | αγνοειν |  | αδελφοι |  | περι |  | των |
|  | Not 4 |  | I 2 do 3 wish 5 |  | but 1 |  | you |  | to be ignorant, |  | brethren, |  | concerning |  | those who |

κεκοιμημενων |  | ινα |  | μη |  | λυπησθε |  | καθως |  | και |  | οι |  | λοιποι |  | οι |  | μη
have fallen asleep, |  | that |  | ye be not grieved, |  | ♦ |  | even as |  | also |  | the |  | rest |  | who |  | have no

| εχοντες |  | ελπιδα |  |
| ♦ |  | hope. |  |

| 14 | ει |  | γαρ |  | πιστευομεν |  | οτι |  | ιησους |  | απεθανεν |  | και |  | ανεστη |  | ουτως |  | και |  | ο |
|  | For if |  | ♦ |  | we believe |  | that |  | Jesus |  | died |  | and |  | rose again, |  | so |  | also |  | ♦ |

θεος |  | τους |  | κοιμηθεντας |  | δια |  | του |  | ιησου |  | αξει |  | συν |  | αυτω |  |
God |  | those who |  | are fallen asleep |  | through |  | ♦ |  | Jesus |  | will bring |  | with |  | him. |  |

| 15 | τουτο |  | γαρ |  | υμιν |  | λεγομεν |  | εν |  | λογω |  | κυριου |  | οτι |  | ημεις |  | οι |  | ζωντες |  | οι |
|  | For this |  | ♦ |  | to you |  | we say |  | in |  | [the] word |  | of [the] Lord, |  | that |  | we |  | the |  | living |  | who |

περιλειπομενοι |  | εις |  | την |  | παρουσιαν |  | του |  | κυριου |  | ου |  | μη |  | φθασωμεν |
remain |  | to |  | the |  | coming |  | of the |  | Lord, |  | in no wise |  | ♦ |  | may anticipate |

τους |  | κοιμηθεντας |  |
those who |  | are fallen asleep; |  |

| 16 | οτι |  | αυτος |  | ο |  | κυριος |  | εν |  | κελευσματι |  | εν |  | φωνη |  | αρχαγγελου |  | και
|  | because |  | himself 3 |  | the 1 |  | Lord 2 |  | with |  | a shout of command, |  | with |  | voice 2 |  | archangel’s 1 |  | and

| εν |  | σαλπιγγι |  | θεου |  | καταβησεται |  | απ |  | ουρανου |  | και |  | οι |  | νεκροι |  | εν |  | χριστω |
| with |  | trumpet |  | of God |  | shall descend |  | from |  | heaven, |  | and |  | the |  | dead |  | in |  | Christ |

αναστησονται |  | πρωτον |  |
shall rise |  | first; |  |

| 17 | επειτα |  | ημεις |  | οι |  | ζωντες |  | οι |  | περιλειπομενοι |  | αμα |  | συν |  | αυτοις |
|  | then |  | we |  | the |  | living |  | who |  | remain, |  | together |  | with |  | them |

αρπαγησομεθα |  | εν |  | νεφελαις |  | εις |  | απαντησιν |  | του |  | κυριου |  | εις |  | αερα |  | και |
shall be caught away |  | in |  | [the] clouds |  | for |  | [the] meeting |  | of the |  | Lord |  | in |  | [the] air; |  | and |

ουτως |  | παντοτε |  | συν |  | κυριω |  | εσομεθα |  |
thus |  | always |  | with |  | [the] Lord |  | we shall be. |  |

| 18 | ωστε |  | παρακαλειτε |  | αλληλους |  | εν |  | τοις |  | λογοις |  | τουτοις |  |
|  | So |  | encourage |  | one another |  | with |  | these words. |  | ♦ |  | ♦ |  |
