1 Thessalonians 4:4

2 for you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

3 For this is ^athe will of God, ^byour sanctification: ^cthat you should abstain from sexual immorality;

4 ^athat each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

5 ^anot in passion of lust, ^blike the Gentiles ^cwho do not know God;

6 that no one should take advantage of and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord ^ais the avenger of all such, as we also forewarned you and testified.

7 For God did not call us to uncleanness, ^abut in holiness.

8 ^aTherefore he who rejects this does not reject man, but God, ^bwho has also given us His Holy Spirit.

A Brotherly and Orderly Life

9 But concerning brotherly love you have no need that I should write to you, for ^ayou yourselves are taught by God ^bto love one another;

10 and indeed you do so toward all the brethren who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brethren, ^athat you increase more and more;
