1 Thessalonians 4:5 - John Wesley's Notes

1 Thessalonians 4:5

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.

1 Thessalonians 4:5

Not in passionate desire - Which had no place in man when in a state of innocence. Who know not God - And so may naturally seek happiness in a creature. What seemingly accidental words slide in; and yet how fine, and how vastly important!
