1 Thessalonians 4:5-7
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised
5 not with lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God; 6 that no one wrongs or exploits a brother or sister[a] in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, just as we have already told you beforehand and solemnly warned you. 7 For God did not call us to impurity but in holiness.
