1 Thessalonians 4:1-7

1Additionally then, brothers and sisters, we ask and encourage you in the Lord Jesus, that as you have received instruction from us on how you should live and please God — as you are doing  — do this even more.

2For you know what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

3For this is God’s will, your sanctification: that you keep away from sexual immorality,

4that each of you knows how to control his own body in holiness and honor,

5not with lustful passions, like the Gentiles, who don’t know God.

6This means one must not transgress against and take advantage of a brother or sister in this manner, because the Lord is an avenger of all these offenses, as we also previously told and warned you.

7For God has not called us to impurity but to live in holiness.
