1 Thessalonians 4:7-9

Expanded Bible

⁷ [^LFor] God did not call us to ·a life of sin [^Limpurity], but to holiness. ⁸ ·So [Therefore] the person who ·refuses to obey [disregards; rejects; despises] this teaching is not simply ·disobeying [disregarding; rejecting; despising] ·a human being [human authority], but God, who gives you his Holy Spirit.

⁹ We do not need to write you about ·having love for your Christian family [^Lbrotherly love], because God has already taught you to love each other.
