Thanksgiving
1 Thessalonians 1:2-5 LSB — We give thanks to God always for all of you, making mention of you in our prayers; remembering without ceasing your work of faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ before our God and Father, knowing, brothers beloved by God, your election, for our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full assurance; just as you know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.
Entrusted with the Gospel
1 Thessalonians 2:19-20 LSB — For who is our hope or joy or crown of boasting? Is it not even you, before our Lord Jesus at His coming? For you are our glory and joy.
Timothy’s Good Report
1 Thessalonians 3:12-13 LSB — and may the Lord cause you to increase and abound in love for one another, and for all people, just as we also do for you, so that He may strengthen your hearts blameless in holiness, before our God and Father, at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints.
Sanctification and Love
1 Thessalonians 4:3 LSB — For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality;
1 Thessalonians 4:8 LSB — Consequently, he who sets this aside is not setting aside man but the God who gives His Holy Spirit to you.
The Dead in Christ Will Rise
[1Th 4:15 LSB] 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep.
[1Th 4:16-17 LSB] For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet (apantēsis) the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.
ἀπάντησις (apantēsis)
[Mat 25:6 LSB] 6 "But at midnight there was a shout, 'Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.'
[Act 28:15 LSB] 15 And the brothers, when they heard about us, came from there as far as the Market of Appius and Three Inns to meet us. When Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.

The Day of the Lord
1 Thessalonians 5:9-11 LSB — For God has not appointed us for wrath, but for obtaining salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ, who died for us, so that whether we are awake or asleep, we will live together with Him. Therefore, comfort one another and build up one another, just as you also are doing.
Admonishment and Instruction
1 Thessalonians 5:23 LSB — Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely, and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Hebrews 4:12 LSB — For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
