Plea for Purity
4 Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus (A)that you should abound more and more, (B)just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God; 2 for you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
3 For this is (C)the will of God, (D)your sanctification: (E)that you should abstain from sexual immorality; 4 (F)that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, 5 (G)not in passion of lust, (H)like the Gentiles (I)who do not know God; 6 that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord (J)is the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified. 7 For God did not call us to uncleanness, (K)but in holiness. 8 (L)Therefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, (M)who[a] has also given us His Holy Spirit.

Warning Against Idleness
6 But we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, (A)that you withdraw (B)from every brother who walks (C)disorderly and not according to the tradition which [a]he received from us. 7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow us, for we were not disorderly among you; 8 nor did we eat anyone’s bread [b]free of charge, but worked with (D)labor and toil night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, 9 not because we do not have (E)authority, but to make ourselves an example of how you should follow us.
10 For even when we were with you, we commanded you this: If anyone will not work, neither shall he eat.

1 Thessalonians 2:2-12

2 But [a]even after we had suffered before and were spitefully treated at (A)Philippi, as you know, we were (B)bold in our God to speak to you the gospel of God in much conflict. 3 (C)For our exhortation did not come from error or uncleanness, nor was it in deceit.
4 But as (D)we have been approved by God (E)to be entrusted with the gospel, even so we speak, (F)not as pleasing men, but God (G)who tests our hearts. 5 For (H)neither at any time did we use flattering words, as you know, nor a [b]cloak for covetousness—(I)God is witness. 6 (J)Nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, when (K)we might have (L)made demands (M)as apostles of Christ. 7 But (N)we were gentle among you, just as a nursing mother cherishes her own children. 8 So, affectionately longing for you, we were well pleased (O)to impart to you not only the gospel of God, but also (P)our own lives, because you had become dear to us. 9 For you remember, brethren, our (Q)labor and toil; for laboring night and day, (R)that we might not be a burden to any of you, we preached to you the gospel of God.
10 (S)You are witnesses, and God also, (T)how devoutly and justly and blamelessly we behaved ourselves among you who believe; 11 as you know how we exhorted, and comforted, and [c]charged every one of you, as a father does his own children, 12 (U)that you would walk worthy of God (V)who calls you into His own kingdom and glory.
