SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:10

el cual muri por nosotros, para que sea que velemos, o que durmamos, vivamos juntamente con l.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Thessalonians 5:10

Verse 10. Who
died for us] His death was an atoning sacrifice for the Gentiles as well as for the Jews.

Whether we wake or sleep] Whether we live or die, whether we are in this state or in the other world, we shall live together with him-shall enjoy his life, and the consolations of his Spirit, while here; and shall be glorified together with him in the eternal world. The words show that every where and in all circumstances genuine believers, who walk after God, have life and communion with him, and are continually happy, and constantly safe.

The apostle, however, may refer to the doctrine he has delivered, chap. iv. 15, concerning the dead in Christ rising first; and the last generation of men not dying, but undergoing such a change as shall render them immortal. On that great day, all the followers of God, both those who had long slept in the dust of the earth, and all those who shall be found living, shall be acknowledged by Christ as his own, and live together for ever with him.


John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 10. Who died for us , etc.] The elect of God, who are not appointed to wrath, but to salvation by Christ, on which account he died for them; not merely as a martyr to confirm his doctrine, or only by way of example, but as a surety, in the room and stead of his people; as a sacrifice for their sins, to make atonement for them, and save them from them; so that his death lays a solid foundation for hope of salvation by him: that whether we wake or sleep : which phrases are to be understood, not in the same sense in which they are used in the context; as if the sense was, whether a man indulges himself in sin, and gives way to sleep and sloth, and carnal security, or whether he is awake and on his watch and guard, he shall through the death of Christ have eternal life secured to him; not but that there is a truth in this, that eternal life and salvation by Christ, as it does not depend on our watchfulness, so it shall not be hindered by the sleepy, drowsy frame of spirit, the children of God sometimes fall into: but rather natural sleep and waking are intended; and the meaning is, that those for whom Christ died are always safe, sleeping or waking, whatever they are about and employed in, and in whatsoever situation and condition they are in this world; though it may be best of all to interpret the words, of life and death; and they may have a particular regard to the state of the saints at Christ's second coming, when some will be awake, or alive, and others will be asleep in Christ, or dead; and it matters not which they are, whether living or dead; (see Romans 14:7-9) for the end of Christ's dying for them, and which will be answered in one as well as in another, is, that we should live together with him : Christ died for his people, who were dead in trespasses and sins, that they might live spiritually a life of sanctification from him, and a life of justification on him, and by him; and that they might live a life of communion with him; and that they might live eternally with him, in soul and body, in heaven, and reign with him there, and partake of his glory; and this all the saints will, whether they be found dead or alive at his coming; for the dead will immediately arise, those that sleep in the dust will awake at once, and they that are alive will be changed, and both will be caught up in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air, and be for ever with him: now the consideration of the death of Christ, and this end of it, which will certainly be answered, serves greatly to encourage hope of salvation by him, and faith in him, and an earnest expectation of his second coming.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 6-11 - Most of
mankind do not consider the things of another world at all because they are asleep; or they do not consider them aright, becaus they sleep and dream. Our moderation as to all earthly things should be known to all men. Shall Christians, who have the light of the blesse gospel shining in their faces, be careless about their souls, an unmindful of another world? We need the spiritual armour, or the thre Christian graces, faith, love, and hope. Faith; if we believe that the eye of God is always upon us, that there is another world to prepar for, we shall see reason to watch and be sober. True and fervent love to God, and the things of God, will keep us watchful and sober. If we have hope of salvation, let us take heed of any thing that would shak our trust in the Lord. We have ground on which to build unshaken hope when we consider, that salvation is by our Lord Jesus Christ, who die for us, to atone for our sins and to ransom our souls. We should joi in prayer and praise one with another. We should set a good example on before another, and this is the best means to answer the end of society. Thus we shall learn how to live to Him, with whom we hope to live for ever.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

10. Who
died. Frequently the resurrection is coupled with the death of Christ by Paul, as ch. iv. 14; Philip. iii. 10; Col. ii. 12; iii. 1-4. Not so here; but the thought of resurrection is supplied in live together with him.

Wake or sleep. Whether we are alive or dead at Christ's appearing. Comp. Rom. xiv. 9. Kaqeudein in N.T. always literally of sleep, except here, and possibly Eph. v. 14. In Mark v. 39; Luke viii. 52, it is contrasted with death. In LXX in the sense of death, Psalm lxxxvii. 5; Daniel xii. 2; 2 Sam. vii. 12.


Robertson's NT Word Studies

5:10 {For us} (peri hemwn). {Around us}. So Westcott and Hort, but huper (over, in behalf of) as in many MSS. These prepositions often interchanged in N.T. MSS. {Whether we wake or sleep} (eite gregorwmen eite kaqeudwmen). Alternative condition of third class with present subjunctive, though eante--eante more usual conjunction (Robertson, _Grammar_, P. 1017). Used here of life and death, not as metaphor. {That we should live together with him} (hina hama sun autwi zeswmen). First aorist active subjunctive constative aorist covering all life (now and hereafter) together with (hama sun as in #5:17) Jesus.
