1 Thessalonians 4:11-13
1599 Geneva Bible
11 [a]And that ye study to be quiet, and to meddle with your own business, [b]and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you.
12 That ye may behave yourselves honestly toward them that are without, and that nothing be lacking unto you.
13 ¶ [c]I would not brethren, have you ignorant [d]concerning them [e]which are asleep, that ye sorrow not even as others which have no hope.

- 1 Thessalonians 4:11 He condemneth unquiet brains, and such as are curious in matters which appertain not unto them.
- 1 Thessalonians 4:11 He rebuketh idleness and slothfulness, which vices whosoever are given unto, fall into other wickedness, to the great offense of the Church.
- 1 Thessalonians 4:13 The third part of the Epistle, which is interlaced among the former exhortations (which he returneth unto afterward) wherein he speaketh of mourning for the dead, and the manner of the resurrection, and of the latter day.
- 1 Thessalonians 4:13 We must take heed that we do not immoderately bewail the dead, that is, as they used to do which think that they are utterly perished.
- 1 Thessalonians 4:13 A confirmation: for death is but a sleep of the body (for he speaketh of the faithful) until the Lord cometh.
