1 Thessalonians 4:1-9
11FinallyG3062 thenG3767, 2brethrenG80, we requestG2065 and exhortG3870 you in the LordG2962 JesusG2424, that as you receivedG3880 from us instruction as to howG4459 you oughtG1163 to 34walkG4043 and 5pleaseG700 GodG2316 (justG2531 as you actuallyG2532 do 6walkG4043), that you 7excelG4052 stillG3123 moreG3123. 2For you knowG3609 whatG5101 commandmentsG3852 we gaveG1325 you 8by the authority of the LordG2962 JesusG2424. 3For thisG3778 is the willG2307 of GodG2316, your sanctificationG38; that is, that you 9abstainG568 from 10sexualG4202 immoralityG4202; 4that 11eachG1538 of you knowG3609 howG3609 to 12possessG2932 his ownG1438 1314vesselG4632 in sanctificationG38 and 15honorG5092, 5not in 1617lustfulG1939 passionG3806, likeG2509 the GentilesG1484 who 18do not knowG3609 GodG2316; 6and that noG3361 man transgressG5233 and 19defraudG4122 his brotherG80 20in the matterG4229 becauseG1360 21the LordG2962 is the avengerG1558 in allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778, justG2531 as we alsoG2532 22toldG4275 you beforeG4275 and solemnlyG1263 warnedG1263 you. 7For 23GodG2316 has not calledG2564 us for 24the purpose of impurityG167, but 25in sanctificationG38. 8SoG5105, he who rejectsG114 this is not rejectingG114 manG444 but the GodG2316 who 26givesG1325 His HolyG40 SpiritG4151 to you.
9NowG1161 as to the 27loveG5360 of the brethrenG5360, you 28haveG2192 noG3756 needG5532 for anyone to writeG1125 to you, for you yourselvesG846 are 29taughtG2312 by GodG2312 to loveG25 oneG240 anotherG240;
