1 Thessalonians 4:3-8

21st Century King James Version

³ For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

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

⁵ not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles who know not God;

⁶ that no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

⁷ For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

⁸ He therefore that despiseth this, despiseth not man but God, who hath also given unto us His holy Spirit.
