1 Thessalonians 4:1-7 Finally then, my brothers, I continue to beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as you learned of me how to walk so as to please God—and you are actually doing so

MNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Finally then, my brothers, I continue to beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as you learned of me how to walk so as to please God—and you are actually doing so—that you abound in it yet more and more. ² For you know what charges I laid upon you through the Lord Jesus. ³ For this is God's will, even your sanctification; that you should abstain from sexual vice. ⁴ That each one should learn how to take a wife in purity and honor. ⁵ Not in the passion of lust, like the Gentiles who know not God. ⁶ That no man overreach or take advantage of his brother in such matters, because "the Lord takes vengeance" in all these things, as also I repeatedly forewarned you and testified to you. ⁷ For God has not called us for uncleanness, but in holiness.
