1 Thessalonians 4:3-10
3For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you 1abstain from sexual immorality; 4that 2each of you know how to 3possess his own 45vessel in sanctification and 6honor, 5not in 78lustful passion, like the Gentiles who 9do not know God; 6and that no one violate the rights and 10take advantage of his brother or sister 11in the matter, because 12the Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also 13told you previously and solemnly warned you. 7For 14God has not called us for 1516impurity, but in sanctification. 8Therefore, the one who rejects this is not rejecting man, but the God who 17gives His Holy Spirit to you.
9Now as to the 18love of the brothers and sisters, you 19have no need for anyone to write to you, for you yourselves are 20taught by God to love one another; 10for indeed 21you practice it toward all the brothers and sisters who are in all Macedonia. But we urge you, brothers and sisters, to 22excel even more,
