1 Thessalonians 4:12 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 4

10 et c’est aussi ce que vous faites envers tous les frères dans la Macédoine entière. Mais nous vous exhortons, frères, à abonder toujours plus dans cet amour,

11 et à mettre votre honneur à vivre tranquilles, à vous occuper de vos propres affaires, et à travailler de vos mains, comme nous vous l’avons recommandé,

12 en sorte que vous vous conduisiez honnêtement envers ceux du dehors, et que vous n’ayez besoin de personne.

13 Nous ne voulons pas, frères, que vous soyez dans l’ignorance au sujet de ceux qui dorment, afin que vous ne vous affligiez pas comme les autres qui n’ont point d’espérance.

14 Car, si nous croyons que Jésus est mort et qu’il est ressuscité, croyons aussi que Dieu ramènera par Jésus et avec lui ceux qui sont morts.
