4:1 And last of all, the prayer which we make to you from our heart and in the name of the Lord Jesus, is this: that as we made clear to you what sort of behaviour is pleasing to God, as in fact you are doing now, so you will go on in these ways, but more and more.
4:1 弟兄们，我还有话说。我们靠着主耶稣求你们，劝你们，你们既然受了我们的教训，知道该怎样行，可以讨神的喜悦，就要照你们现在所行的，更加勉励。
4:2 Because you have in mind the orders we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
4:2 你们原晓得我们凭主耶稣传给你们什么命令。
4:3 For the purpose of God for you is this: that you may be holy, and may keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh;
4:3 神的旨意就是要你们成为圣洁，远避淫行。
4:4 So that every one of you may keep his body holy and in honour;
4:4 要你们各人晓得怎样用圣洁尊贵，守着自己的身体。
4:5 Not in the passion of evil desires, like the Gentiles, who have no knowledge of God;
4:5 不放纵私欲的邪情，像那不认识神的外邦人。
4:6 And that no man may make attempts to get the better of his brother in business: for the Lord is the judge in all these things, as we said to you before and gave witness.
4:6 不要一个人在这事上越分，欺负他的弟兄。因为这一类的事，主必报应，正如我预先对你们说过，又切切嘱咐你们的。
4:7 Because it is God's purpose that our way of life may be not unclean but holy.
4:7 神召我们，本不是要我们沾染污秽，乃是要我们成为圣洁。
4:8 Whoever, then, goes against this word, goes against not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.
4:8 所以那弃绝的，不是弃绝人，乃是弃绝那赐圣灵给你们的神。
4:9 But about loving the brothers, there is no need for me to say anything to you in this letter: for you have the teaching of God that love for one another is right and necessary;
4:9 论到弟兄们相爱，不用人写信给你们，因为你们自己蒙了神的教训，叫你们彼此相爱。
4:10 And, truly, you are lovers of all the brothers in Macedonia; but it is our desire that your love may be increased still more;
4:10 你们向马其顿全地的众弟兄，固然是这样行，但我劝弟兄们要更加勉励。
4:11 And that you may take pride in being quiet and doing your business, working with your hands as we gave you orders;
4:11 又要立志作安静人，办自己的事，亲手作工，正如我们从前所吩咐你们的。
4:12 That you may be respected by those who are outside, and may have need of nothing.
4:12 叫你们可以向外人行事端正，自己也就没有什么缺乏了。
4:13 But it is our desire, brothers, that you may be certain about those who are sleeping; so that you may have no need for sorrow, as others have who are without hope.
4:13 论到睡了的人，我们不愿意弟兄们不知道，恐怕你们忧伤，像那些没有指望的人一样。
4:14 For if we have faith that Jesus underwent death and came back again, even so those who are sleeping will come again with him by God's power.
4:14 我们若信耶稣死而复活了，那已经在耶稣里睡了的人，神也必将他与耶稣一同带来。
4:15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are still living at the coming of the Lord, will not go before those who are sleeping.
4:15 我们现在照主的话告诉你们一件事。我们这活着还存留到主降临的人，断不能在那已经睡了的人之先。
4:16 Because the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a word of authority, with the voice of the chief angel, with the sound of a horn: and the dead in Christ will come to life first;
4:16 因为主必亲自从天降临，有呼叫的声音，和天使长的声音，又有神的号吹响。那在基督里死了的人必先复活。
4:17 Then we who are still living will be taken up together with them into the clouds to see the Lord in the air: and so will we be for ever with the Lord.
4:17 以后我们这活着还存留的人，必和他们一同被提到云里，在空中与主相遇。这样，我们就要和主永远同在。
4:18 So then, give comfort to one another with these words.
4:18 所以你们当用这些话彼此劝慰。
