1 Thessalonians 4:3-8
Wycliffe Bible
3 For this is the will of God, your holiness, that ye abstain you from fornication.
4 That each of you know how to wield his vessel in holiness, and honour;
5 not in passion of lust, as heathen men that know not God.
6 And that no man over-go, neither deceive his brother, in chaffering. For the Lord is venger of all these things, as we before-said to you, and have witnessed.
7 For God called not us into uncleanness, but into holiness.
8 Therefore he that despiseth these things, despiseth not man, but God, that also gave his Holy Spirit in us.

1 Thessalonians 4:3-8
New International Version
3 It is God’s will(A) that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality;(B) 4 that each of you should learn to control your own body[a](C) in a way that is holy and honorable, 5 not in passionate lust(D) like the pagans,(E) who do not know God;(F) 6 and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister.[b](G) The Lord will punish(H) all those who commit such sins,(I) as we told you and warned you before. 7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.(J) 8 Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.(K)
