1 За сим, братия, просим и умоляем вас Христом Иисусом, чтобы вы, приняв от нас, как должно вам поступать и угождать Богу, более в том преуспевали, 2 ибо вы знаете, какие мы дали вам заповеди от Господа Иисуса. 3 Ибо воля Божия есть освящение ваше, чтобы вы воздерживались от блуда; 4 чтобы каждый из вас умел соблюдать свой сосуд в святости и чести, 5 а не в страсти похотения, как и язычники, не знающие Бога; 6 чтобы вы ни в чем не поступали с братом своим противозаконно и корыстолюбиво: потому что Господь — мститель за все это, как и прежде мы говорили вам и свидетельствовали. 7 Ибо призвал нас Бог не к нечистоте, но к святости. 8 Итак непокорный непокорен не человеку, но Богу, Который и дал нам Духа Своего Святаго. 9 О братолюбии же нет нужды писать к вам; ибо вы сами научены Богом любить друг друга, 10 ибо вы так и поступаете со всеми братиями по всей Македонии. Умоляем же вас, братия, более преуспевать 11 и усердно стараться о том, чтобы жить тихо, делать свое дело и работать своими собственными руками, как мы заповедывали вам; 12 чтобы вы поступали благоприлично перед внешними и ни в чем не нуждались. 13 Не хочу же оставить вас, братия, в неведении об умерших, дабы вы не скорбели, как прочие, не имеющие надежды. 14 Ибо, если мы веруем, что Иисус умер и воскрес, то и умерших в Иисусе Бог приведет с Ним. 15 Ибо сие говорим вам словом Господним, что мы живущие, оставшиеся до пришествия Господня, не предупредим умерших, 16 потому что Сам Господь при возвещении, при гласе Архангела и трубе Божией, сойдет с неба, и мертвые во Христе воскреснут прежде; 17 потом мы, оставшиеся в живых, вместе с ними восхищены будем на облаках в сретение Господу на воздухе, и так всегда с Господом будем. 18 Итак утешайте друг друга сими словами.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
When he has met what was pressing, and what was upon his hands, and is about henceforth to enter upon things that are perpetual, and which they ought continually to hear, he adds this expression, "finally," that is, always and forever. "We beseech and exhort you in the Lord." Strange!

What friend of wisdom and holy joys, who, being married, but knowing, as the apostle says, "how to possess his vessel in santification and honor, not in the disease of desire, as the Gentiles who know not God," would not prefer, if this were possi ble, to beget children without this lust, so that in this function of begetting offspring …

Which Paul too did, saying, "Sorrow not, even as the rest which have no hope;" and, "Even as the Gentiles which know not God." And to signify that He requires nothing very overpowering, but a little more than was accustomed, He saith, "Do not even the Gentiles the same?" Yet nevertheless He stops not the discourse at this, but makes …

… watch over your souls; keep unshaken and unchanged your hope in Him who rose again; raise you together with Him from your dead sins unto His heavenly gift; count you worthy to be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air, in His fitting time; and, until that time arrive of His glorious second advent, …

It is yours according to your merit to be "ever with the Lord," and you expect to be caught up "in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and to be ever with the Lord." You declare the man who numbers and ranks the Spirit with the Father and the Son to be guilty of intolerable impiety.
