1 Thessalonians 4:4-8

4that 1each of you know how to 2possess his own 3 4vessel in sanctification and 5honor, 5not in 6 7lustful passion, like the Gentiles who 8do not know God; 6and that no man transgress and 9defraud his brother 10in the matter because 11the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also 12told you before and solemnly warned you. 7For 13God has not called us for 14the purpose of impurity, but 15in sanctification. 8So, he who rejects this is not rejecting man but the God who 16gives His Holy Spirit to you.
