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.

New American Standard Bible
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; 6 and that no one violate the rights and (G)take advantage of his brother or sister (H)in the matter, because (I)the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also (J)told you previously and solemnly warned you. 7 For (K)God has not called us for [d](L)impurity, but in sanctification. 8 Therefore, the one who rejects this is not rejecting man, but the God who (M)gives His Holy Spirit to you.
