THESSALONIANS CHAPTER IV.

[1 He exhorteth to go on in godliness, 7 to holiness, 9 to love, 11 to quietness. 
15 The saints' resurrection, and Christ's second coming]



FURTHERMORE then we beseech you, brethren,
and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that 
 as ye have received us how ye ought to walk and 
to please God, so ye would abound more and more. 
2 For ye know what commandments we gave you 
by the Lord Jesus. 
3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, 
that ye should abstain from fornication:
4 That every one of you should know how to 
possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the 
Gentiles which know not God:
6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother
in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of 
all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. 
7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, 
but unto holiness.
8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, 
but God who hath also given unto us his Holy Spirit. 
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. 
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;
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;
12 That ye may walk honestly toward them that 
are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing. 
13 But I would not have you be ignorant, 
brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye 
sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 
14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose 
again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will 
God bring with him. 
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. 
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven 
with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with 
the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught 
up together with them in the clouds, to meet the 
Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 
18 Wherefore, comfort one another with these words. 

THESSALONIANS CHAPTER III

WHEREFORE, when we could no longer forbear, 
we thought it good to be left at Athens alone
2 And sent Timotheus, our brother, and minister 
of God, and our fellow-labourer in the gospel of 
Christ, to stablish you, and to comfort you concerning 
your faith:
3 That no man should be moved by these afflictions:
for yourselves know that we are appointed 
thereunto. 
4 For verily, when we were with you, we told 
you before that we should suffer tribulation; even 
as it came to pass, and ye know. 
5 For this cause, when I could no longer forbear, 
I sent to know your faith, lest by some means the 
tempter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain. 
6 But now, when Timotheus came from you unto 
us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and charity, 
and that ye have good remembrance of us always, 
desiring greatly to see us, as we also to see you:
7 Therefore, brethren, we were comforted over 
you in all our affliction and distress by your faith:
8 For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord. 
9 For what thanks can we render to God again 
for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your 
sakes before our God;
10 Night and day praying exceedingly that we 
might see your face, and might perfect that which 
is lacking in your faith?
11 Now God himself and our Father, and our 
Lord Jesus Christ, direct our way unto you. 
12 And the Lord make you to increase and 
abound in love one toward another, and toward all 
men, even as we do toward you:
13 To the end he may stablish your hearts unblameable
in holiness before God, even our Father, at the 
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ with all his saints. 

A Day Without Sin by Wise Owl Lady

‘A Day without Sin’

يوم بلا خطيئة

Wise Owl Lady

A day without sin?

Oh, it would be such a win, can you just imagine?

Trying to walk down this lonely and unforeseen road,

Trusting by faith and not thy sight,

Lest I stumble during my plight;

I have put on the armor of righteousness,

Struggling not to let evil pry within,

Taunting, daunting, and always trying to break in.

My heart can sometimes grow weary,

And my spirit may sometimes falter

As I continue a’ wanderin’;

As I go a’ ponderin’

Trying to always walk in the light,

Let go of negativity, heartache, and strife;

Yet I know my pain, my sacrifice, my labor, this fight

Is not in vain,

But will only lead me to glory through salvation from Christ.

This is my age,

This is my time,

Times are so wicked,

Those demons are out there trickin’

But do not let them stop thy mission.

I’m chasin’

My Dream, Her Dream,

His Dream, Your Dream.

Oh, Let the Fruits that I Bear be Plentiful and Great…

A Day without Sin,

It is not truly hard,

Just Listen;

You got to dig deep within,

To the darkest parts of your mind,

Recall upon past sins, turned lessons;

You’ve got to eliminate the traces,

But leave a witness;

Use your story to bring forth your good into the world,

Free your soul and spirit to pour out your love to one and all,

Becoming right in the eyes of Christ

May be for some unconvincing,

But the Lord is a’comin’ soon,

Time are a’ changin’ fast,

It is time for those who are asleep,

To awaken right here, right now;

And you must focus on obeying God’s Word,

Salvation through Christ, receiving the Holy Ghost,

There’s countless additions;

It is impossible to allow yourself to feel or receive,

One negative subliminal message.

The Dark One is runnin’ a nasty game,

It puts the ever seeking heart to shame,

But a wise owl lady would say,

There is nothing to fear living the Lord’s way,

A Day without Sin,

In a Day and Age,

Turn inside out

Thy wicked ways.

Forgive thy neighbor,

Embrace thy grave,

And Trust in Thy Lord

For all of your Days.

Love,

Wise Owl Lady 

THE FIRST EPISTLE OF PAUL, the APOSTLE, to the THESSALONIANS CHAPTER I & II

[2 Paul sheweth his remembrance of them in thanksgiving and prayer, 5 and approveth their exemplary reception of the gospel.]
PAUL, and Silvanus, and Timotheus, unto the 
church of the Thessalonians, which is in God
the Father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ: Grace be
unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the 
Lord Jesus Christ. 
2 We give thanks to God always for you all, 
making mention of you in our prayers;
3 Remembering without ceasing your work of 
faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our 
Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father; 
4 Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of 
God. 
5 For our gospel came not unto you in word only, 
but also in power, and in the Holy Ghost, and in 
much assurance; as ye know what manner of men 
we were among you for your sake. 
6 And ye became followers of us, and of the 
Lord, having received the word in much affliction, 
with joy of the Holy Ghost:
7 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe 
in Macedonia and Achaia. 
8 For from you sounded out the word of the Lord 
not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every 
place your faith to God-ward is spread abroad; so
that we need not to speak any thing. 
9 For they themselves shew of us what manner
of entering in we had unto you, and how ye turned 
to God from idols, to serve the living and true God;
10 And to wait for his Son from heaven, whom 
he raised from the dead, even Jesus, which delivered 
us from the wrath to come. 


CHAP. II

[ 1 In what manner the gospel was preached unto them, and how they received 
it; 17 he sheweth his desire of coming to them.]

FOR yourselves, brethren, know our entrance in 
unto you, that it was not in vain:
2 But even after that we had suffered before, and 
were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, 
we were bold in our God to speak unto you the 
gospel of God with much contention. 
3 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of
 uncleanness, nor in guile;
4 But as we were allowed of God to be put in 
trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as 
pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts. 
5 For neither at any time used we flattering 
words, as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness;
God is witness:
6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, 
nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome,
as the apostles of Christ. 
7 But we were gentle among you, even as a 
nurse cherisheth her children:
8 So being affectionately desirous of you, we 
were willing to have imparted unto you, not the 
gospel of God only, but also our own souls, because 
ye were dear unto us.
9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and 
travail: for labouring night and day, because we 
would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached 
unto you the gospel of God. 
10 Ye are witnesses, and God also, how holily, 
and justly, and unblameably we behaved ourselves 
among you that believe:
11 As ye know how we exhorted, and comforted, 
and charged every one of you, as a father doth his 
children. 
12 That ye would walk worthy of God, who 
hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. 
13 For this cause also thank we God without 
ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God 
which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word 
of men, but (as it is in truth) the word of God, which 
effectually worketh also in you that believe. 
14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the 
churches of God which in Judea are in Christ Jesus:
for ye also have suffered like things of your own
countrymen, even as they have of the Jews:
15 Who both killed the Lord Jesus, and their 
own prophets, and have persecuted us; and they 
please not God, and are contrary to all men:
16 Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles that 
they might be saved, to fill up their sins always: for 
the wrath is come upon them to the uttermost. 
17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a 
short time in presence, not in heart, endeavoured the 
more abundantly to see your face with great desire. 
18 Wherefore we would have come unto you, 
even I Paul, once and again; but Satan hindered us.
19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of  
|| rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our 
Lord Jesus Christ at his coming? 
20 For ye are our glory and joy.
