A Life Pleasing to God
4 Finally, then, brothers,[a] we ask and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you (A)received from us (B)how you ought to walk and (C)to please God, just as you are doing, that you (D)do so more and more. 2 For (E)you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, (F)your sanctification:[b] (G)that you abstain from sexual immorality; 4 that each one of you know how to control his own (H)body[c] in holiness and (I)honor, 5 not in (J)the passion of lust (K)like the Gentiles (L)who do not know God; 6 that no one transgress and (M)wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is (N)an avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you. 7 For (O)God has not called us for (P)impurity, but in holiness. 8 Therefore (Q)whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, (R)who gives his Holy Spirit to you.

1 Thessalonians 2:2-12
English Standard Version
2 But though we had already suffered and been shamefully treated (A)at Philippi, as you know, (B)we had boldness in our God (C)to declare to you the gospel of God in the midst of much (D)conflict. 3 For (E)our appeal does not spring from (F)error or (G)impurity or (H)any attempt to deceive, 4 but just as we have been approved by God (I)to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not (J)to please man, but to please God (K)who tests our hearts. 5 (L)For we never came with words of flattery,[a] as you know, nor with a pretext for greed—(M)God is witness. 6 (N)Nor did we seek glory from people, whether from you or from others, (O)though we could have made (P)demands as (Q)apostles of Christ. 7 But we were (R)gentle[b] among you, (S)like a nursing mother taking care of her own children. 8 So, being affectionately desirous of you, we were ready to share with you not only the gospel of God (T)but also our own selves, because you had become very dear to us.
9 For you remember, brothers, (U)our labor and toil: we (V)worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God. 10 You are witnesses, and (W)God also, (X)how holy and righteous and blameless was our conduct toward you believers. 11 For you know how, (Y)like a father with his children, 12 we exhorted each one of you and encouraged you and (Z)charged (AA)you to walk in a manner worthy of God, (AB)who calls you into his own kingdom and glory.

Warning Against Idleness
6 Now we command you, brothers, (A)in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, (B)that you keep away from any (C)brother (D)who is walking in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us. 7 For you yourselves know (E)how you ought to imitate us, because (F)we were not idle when we were with you, 8 nor did we eat anyone's bread without paying for it, but (G)with toil and labor we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you. 9 It was (H)not because we do not have that right, but to give you in ourselves (I)an example to imitate. 10 For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: (J)If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat.
