A Life Pleasing to God

4 Finally, then, brothers,^[a] we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you ^(A)received from us ^(B)how you ought to walk and ^(C)to please God, just as you are doing, that you ^(D)do so more and more. ² For ^(E)you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. ³ For this is the will of God, ^(F)your sanctification:^{[b] (G)}that you abstain from sexual immorality;

⁷ For ^(A)God has not called us for ^(B)impurity, but in holiness. ⁸ Therefore ^(C)whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, ^(D)who gives his Holy Spirit to you.
