1 Thessalonians 4:6 - John Wesley's Notes

1 Thessalonians 4:6

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.
