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.

3 For this is (A)the will of God, (B)your sanctification: (C)that you should abstain from sexual immorality; 4 (D)that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 (E)not in passion of lust, (F)like the Gentiles (G)who do not know God; 6 that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord (H)is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified. 7 For God did not call us to uncleanness, (I)but in holiness. 8 (J)Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, (K)who[a] has also given us His Holy Spirit.
