1 Thessalonians 4:1-8

Sanctification and Love

^aFinally then, ^bbrothers, we ask and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received from us as to how you ought to ¹^cwalk and ^dplease God (just as you actually do ¹walk), that you ^eexcel still more. 2 For you know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you ^aabstain from ¹sexual immorality; 4 that ^aeach of you know how to ¹possess his own ²^bvessel in sanctification and ^chonor, 5 not in ¹^alustful passion, like the Gentiles who ^bdo not know God; 6 and that no man transgress and ^adefraud his brother ^bin the matter because ^cthe Lord is the avenger in all these things, just as we also ^dtold you before and solemnly warned you. 7 For ^aGod did not call us to ^bimpurity, but ¹in sanctification. 8 Consequently, he who sets this aside is not setting aside man but the God who ^agives His Holy Spirit to you.
