1 Thessalonians 4:1-8

MLV(i) 1 Therefore furthermore brethren, we request and are encouraging you in the Lord Jesus, just-as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, in order that you might abound even more. 2 For you know what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is the will of God, your holiness, for you to abstain from fornication; 4 for each of you to know how to procure his own vessel in holiness and honor, 5 not in the passion of lust, just-as also the Gentiles who do not know God, 6 and not to go beyond limits and takes-advantage of his brother in the matter, because the Lord is an avenger concerning all these things, just-as we have also spoken to you beforehand and thoroughly testified. 7 For God did not call us in uncleanness, but in holiness. 8 Therefore, the one who is rejecting this is not rejecting man, but God, who also gives his Holy Spirit to you.
