1 Thessalonians 4:3-8
Legacy Standard Bible
3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you (A)abstain from [a]sexual immorality; 4 that (B)each of you know how to [b]possess his own [c](C)vessel in sanctification and (D)honor, 5 not in [d](E)lustful passion, like the Gentiles who (F)do not know God; 6 and that no man transgress and (G)defraud his brother (H)in the matter because (I)the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also (J)told you before and solemnly warned you. 7 For (K)God did not call us to (L)impurity, but [e]in sanctification. 8 Consequently, he who sets this aside is not setting aside man but the God who (M)gives His Holy Spirit to you.

American Standard Version
3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication; 4 that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who know not God; 6 that no man [a]transgress, and wrong his brother in the matter: because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we [b]forewarned you and testified. 7 For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification. 8 Therefore he that rejecteth, rejecteth not man, but God, who giveth his Holy Spirit unto you.
