1 Thessalonians 4:3-8
New King James Version
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.

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.
