7   For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
ου γαρ εκαλεσεν ημας ο θεος επι ακαθαρσια αλλ εν αγιασμω

8   He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
τοιγαρουν ο αθετων ουκ ανθρωπον αθετει αλλα τον θεον τον και δοντα το πνευμα αυτου το αγιον εις ημας

9   But as touching brotherly love ye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another.
περι δε της φιλαδελφιας ου χρειαν εχετε γραφειν υμιν αυτοι γαρ υμεις θεοδιδακτοι εστε εις το αγαπαν αλληλους

10   And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;
και γαρ ποιειτε αυτο εις παντας τους αδελφους τους εν ολη τη μακεδονια παρακαλουμεν δε υμας αδελφοι περισσευειν μαλλον

11   And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
και φιλοτιμεισθαι ησυχαζειν και πρασσειν τα ιδια και εργαζεσθαι ταις ιδιαις χερσιν υμων καθως υμιν παρηγγειλαμεν

12   That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.
ινα περιπατητε ευσχημονως προς τους εξω και μηδενος χρειαν εχητε

13   But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
ου θελω δε υμας αγνοειν αδελφοι περι των κεκοιμημενων ινα μη λυπησθε καθως και οι λοιποι οι μη εχοντες ελπιδα

14   For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.
ει γαρ πιστευομεν οτι ιησους απεθανεν και ανεστη ουτως και ο θεος τους κοιμηθεντας δια του ιησου αξει συν αυτω

15   For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
τουτο γαρ υμιν λεγομεν εν λογω κυριου οτι ημεις οι ζωντες οι περιλειπομενοι εις την παρουσιαν του κυριου ου μη φθασωμεν τους κοιμηθεντας
