3For thisG3778 is the willG2307 of GodG2316, your sanctificationG38; that is, that you 1abstainG568 from sexualG4202 immoralityG4202; 4that 2eachG1538 of you knowG3609 howG3609 to 3possessG2932 his ownG1438 45vesselG4632 in sanctificationG38 and 6honorG5092, 5not in 78lustfulG1939 passionG3806, likeG2509 the GentilesG1484 who 9do not knowG3609 GodG2316; 6and that noG3361 one violateG5233 the rightsG5233 and 10takeG4122 advantageG4122 of his brotherG80 or sister 11in the matterG4229, becauseG1360 12the LordG2962 is the avengerG1558 in allG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778, justG2531 asG2531 we alsoG2532 13toldG4275 you previouslyG4275 and solemnlyG1263 warnedG1263 you. 7For 14GodG2316 has not calledG2564 us for 1516impurityG167, but in sanctificationG38. 8ThereforeG5105, the one who rejectsG114 this is not rejectingG114 manG444, but the GodG2316 who 17givesG1325 His HolyG40 SpiritG4151 to you.
