1 Thessalonians 4:3-8 For this is the pleasure of God, your sanctification; and that ye be separated from all whoredom;

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ³ For this is the pleasure of God, your sanctification; and that ye be separated from all whoredom; ⁴ and that each one of you might know how to possess his vessel, in sanctity and in honor; ⁵ and not in the concupiscence of lust, like the rest of the Gentiles who know not God: ⁶ and that ye dare not to transgress and to overreach any one his brother, in this matter; because our Lord is the avenger of all these, as also we have said and testified to you in time past. ⁷ For God did not call you unto impurity, but to sanctification. ⁸ He therefore who spurneth, spurneth not man but God, who hath given his Holy Spirit in you.
