1 Thessalonians 4:3-8

Revised Geneva Translation

³ For this is the will of God: your sanctification. And that you should abstain from fornication;

⁴ so that every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in holiness and honor,

⁵ not in the passion of lust (as the Gentiles do, who do not know God),

⁶ so that no one oppresses or defrauds his brother in any matter. For the Lord is Avenger of all such things, as we also have told you previously, and testified.

⁷ For God has not called us to uncleanness, but to holiness.

⁸ Therefore, the one who ignores these things, does not ignore man, but God (Who has also given His Holy Spirit).
