so_then
Here, the word Therefore introduces what Paul wants the Thessalonians to do in response to what he has told them about Jesus’ second coming and the resurrection of dead believers. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that introduces the application of a specific teaching. Alternate translation: [So then] or [Now that I have taught you these things]

ἐν τοῖς λόγοις τούτοις
with ¬the words these
Here, the phrase these words refers to what Paul has said in 4:13–17. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a word or phrase that refers back to this entire section. Alternate translation: [with all these things that I have taught you] or [with the message I have spoken]
4:18 The purpose of Paul’s teaching about the end is so believers will encourage each other in the face of death. He is not promoting speculation about the end times.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
