1 Thessalonians 4:1-7 HENCE then, my brethren, we pray of you, and beseech of you by our Lord Jeshu, that as you have received of us how it behoveth you to walk and to please Aloha, the more to increase.

Etheridge⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ HENCE then, my brethren, we pray of you, and beseech of you by our Lord Jeshu, that as you have received of us how it behoveth you to walk and to please Aloha, the more to increase. ² For you know those precepts we gave to you in our Lord Jeshu Meshiha. ³ For this is the will of Aloha, your sanctification; and that you be distant from all fornication; ⁴ and that every man of you know to possess his vessel in sanctification and in honour, ⁵ and not in the passions of concupiscence, as the rest of the Gentiles who know not Aloha. ⁶ And that you dare not transgress, and defraud the one man his brother in this matter, because our Lord is the avenger of all these, as we have also before told you and testified. ⁷ For Aloha hath not called us to uncleanness, but unto sanctification.
