데살로니가전서 4
Korean Bible: Easy-to-Read Version
하나님을 기쁘게 해 드리는 삶
4 형제자매 여러분, 마지막으로 드릴 말씀이 있습니다. 여러분은 우리에게서 어떻게 하면 하나님을 기쁘게 해 드릴 수 있는지 배웠고, 또 배운 대로 살고 있습니다. 이제 주 예수의 이름으로 다시 부탁하고 권합니다. 앞으로 더욱더 그렇게 사십시오. 2 여러분은 우리가 주 예수의 권위로 여러분에게 내린 지시를 잘 알고 있을 것입니다. 3 하나님께서 여러분에게 바라시는 것은, 여러분이 거룩하게 되는 것입니다. 곧 여러분이 성적인 부도덕을 피하고, 4 각기 거룩하고 명예롭게 자기 몸을 다스리는 법을 배우는 것입니다.[a] 5 또 하나님을 모르는 이방 사람들처럼 뜨거운 욕정에 빠져들지 않고, 6 이런 일에 있어서 형제나 자매에게 잘못을 저지르거나, 형제나 자매를 이용하지 않는 것입니다. 주께서는 이런 죄를 짓는 자들을 모두 벌하실 것입니다. 우리는 이 점에 관해서 이미 여러분에게 이야기하고 경고한 바가 있습니다. 7 하나님께서는 우리를 부도덕하게 살라고 부르신 것이 아니라, 거룩하게 살라고 부르셨습니다. 8 그러므로 이런 교훈을 저버리는 사람은, 사람을 저버리는 것이 아니라, 자신의 성령을 보내 주시는 하나님을 저버리는 것입니다.
9 여러분은 직접 하나님에게서 서로 사랑하는 법을 배웠습니다. 그러니 형제자매를 사랑하는 일에 대해서는 우리가 더 말할 필요가 없겠습니다. 10 실제로 여러분은 마케도니아에 있는 모든 형제자매에게 그 사랑을 실천하고 있습니다. 그러나 형제자매 여러분, 여러분에게 다시 권합니다. 더욱더 그렇게 하십시오.
11 우리가 명한 대로, 여러분은 조용히 살기를 간절히 바라십시오. 그리고 각기 자기 일에 마음을 쓰며, 자기 손으로 일해서 살아가도록 최선을 다하십시오. 12 그러면 여러분의 일상생활이 믿지 않는 사람들[b]의 우러름을 받게 될 것이고, 여러분은 남에게 신세를 지지 않게 될 것입니다.
주님의 다시 오심
13 형제자매 여러분, 우리는 여러분이 죽는 사람들에 관하여 모른 채로 있거나, 희망이 없는 다른 사람들처럼 슬퍼하기를 바라지 않습니다. 14 우리는 예수께서 죽으셨다가 다시 살아나셨다는 것을 믿습니다. 그래서 하나님께서, 예수를 통하여 죽은 사람들을 예수와 함께 다시 데려오시리라는 것도 믿습니다. 15 지금 우리가 하는 말은 주님께서 주신 가르침입니다. 주께서 다시 오실 때까지 살아남아 있을 우리들은 이미 죽은 사람들을 결코 앞지르지 못할 것입니다. 16 우렁찬 명령과 천사장[c]의 목소리와 하나님의 나팔 소리가 울려 퍼지는 가운데, 주께서 하늘에서 내려오실 것입니다. 그리고 그리스도 안에서 죽은 사람들이 먼저 일어날 것입니다. 17 그러고 나서 아직 살아남아 있는 우리가 그들과 함께 구름 속으로 들려 올라가, 공중에서 주님을 뵐 것입니다. 그리고 우리는 영원히 주님과 함께 있을 것입니다. 18 그러니 이런 말로 서로 용기를 북돋아 주십시오.
1 Thessalonians 4
New King James Version
Plea for Purity
4 Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus (A)that you should abound more and more, (B)just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God; 2 for you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
3 For this is (C)the will of God, (D)your sanctification: (E)that you should abstain from sexual immorality; 4 (F)that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 (G)not in passion of lust, (H)like the Gentiles (I)who do not know God; 6 that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord (J)is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified. 7 For God did not call us to uncleanness, (K)but in holiness. 8 (L)Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, (M)who[a] has also given us His Holy Spirit.
A Brotherly and Orderly Life
9 But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I should write to you, for (N)you yourselves are taught by God (O)to love one another; 10 and indeed you do so toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, (P)that you increase more and more; 11 that you also aspire to lead a quiet life, (Q)to mind your own business, and (R)to work with your own hands, as we commanded you, 12 (S)that you may walk properly toward those who are outside, and that you may lack nothing.
The Comfort of Christ’s Coming
13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen [b]asleep, lest you sorrow (T)as others (U)who have no hope. 14 For (V)if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him (W)those who [c]sleep in Jesus.
15 For this we say to you (X)by the word of the Lord, that (Y)we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are [d]asleep. 16 For (Z)the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with (AA)the trumpet of God. (AB)And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17 (AC)Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them (AD)in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus (AE)we shall always be with the Lord. 18 (AF)Therefore comfort one another with these words.

Living to Please God
4 As for other matters, brothers and sisters,(A) we instructed you how to live(B) in order to please God,(C) as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more. 2 For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.
3 It is God’s will(D) that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality;(E) 4 that each of you should learn to control your own body[a](F) in a way that is holy and honorable, 5 not in passionate lust(G) like the pagans,(H) who do not know God;(I) 6 and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister.[b](J) The Lord will punish(K) all those who commit such sins,(L) as we told you and warned you before. 7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.(M) 8 Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.(N)
9 Now about your love for one another(O) we do not need to write to you,(P) for you yourselves have been taught by God(Q) to love each other.(R) 10 And in fact, you do love all of God’s family throughout Macedonia.(S) Yet we urge you, brothers and sisters, to do so more and more,(T) 11 and to make it your ambition to lead a quiet life: You should mind your own business and work with your hands,(U) just as we told you, 12 so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders(V) and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.
Believers Who Have Died
13 Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed(W) about those who sleep in death,(X) so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.(Y) 14 For we believe that Jesus died and rose again,(Z) and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.(AA) 15 According to the Lord’s word, we tell you that we who are still alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord,(AB) will certainly not precede those who have fallen asleep.(AC) 16 For the Lord himself will come down from heaven,(AD) with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel(AE) and with the trumpet call of God,(AF) and the dead in Christ will rise first.(AG) 17 After that, we who are still alive and are left(AH) will be caught up together with them in the clouds(AI) to meet the Lord in the air. And so we will be with the Lord(AJ) forever. 18 Therefore encourage one another(AK) with these words.
