1 Thessalonians 4:1-7 Finally therefore, brothers, we ask you, and summon in the Lord Jesus, that just as ye received from us how ye ought to walk and to please God, that ye may abound more.

ACV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Finally therefore, brothers, we ask you, and summon in the Lord Jesus, that just as ye received from us how ye ought to walk and to please God, that ye may abound more. ² For ye know what commandments we gave you through the Lord Jesus. ³ For this is the will of God, your sanctification, for you to abstain from fornication, ⁴ for each of you to know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and reverence, ⁵ not in passion of lust, as also the Gentiles who have not known God, ⁶ not to transgress and to cheat his brother in the affair, because the Lord is vengeful about all these things, as also we forewarned you and solemnly testified. ⁷ For God did not call us to uncleanness, but in sanctification.
