3For thisG3778 is the willG2307 of GodG2316, your sanctificationG38; that is, that you 1abstainG568 from 2sexualG4202 immoralityG4202;
4that 3eachG1538 of you knowG3609 howG3609 to 4possessG2932 his ownG1438 56vesselG4632 in sanctificationG38 and 7honorG5092,
5not in 89lustfulG1939 passionG3806, likeG2509 the GentilesG1484 who 10do not knowG3609 GodG2316;
6and that noG3361 man transgressG5233 and 11defraudG4122 his brotherG80 12in the matterG4229 becauseG1360 13the LordG2962 is the avengerG1558 in allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778, justG2531 as we alsoG2532 14toldG4275 you beforeG4275 and solemnlyG1263 warnedG1263 you.
7For 15GodG2316 has not calledG2564 us for 16the purpose of impurityG167, but 17in sanctificationG38.
