³ For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you ^(A)abstain from sexual immorality; ⁴ that ^(B)each of you know how to ^[a]possess his own ^[b](C)vessel in sanctification and ^(D)honor, ⁵ not in ^[c](E)lustful passion, like the Gentiles who ^(F)do not know God;

⁷ For ^(A)God has not called us for ^[a](B)impurity, but in sanctification. ⁸ Therefore, the one who rejects this is not rejecting man, but the God who ^(C)gives His Holy Spirit to you.
