1 Thessalonians 4:1-8 For the rest, brethren, we request and exhort you, in our Lord Jesus, that, even as ye received from us, how ye must needs walk and please God,––even as ye also do walk, that ye would abound still more.

Rotherham⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ For the rest, brethren, we request and exhort you, in our Lord Jesus, [that], even as ye received from us, how ye must needs walk and please God,––even as ye also do walk, that ye would abound still more. ² For ye know what charges we gave you, through the Lord Jesus. ³ For, this, is a thing willed of God, your sanctification,––that ye should abstain from unchastity, ⁴ That ye should know, each one of you, how, of his own vessel, to possess himself in sanctification and honour: ⁵ Not with a passion of coveting,––just as even the nations who know not God,–– ⁶ Not over–reaching and defrauding, in the matter, his brother; because, an avenger, is the Lord, concerning all these things,––even as we before told you, and solemnly called you to witness. ⁷ For God did not call us, with a permission of impurity, but, in sanctification. ⁸ Therefore, indeed, he that disregardeth––it is, not a man, he disregardeth, but God,––Who giveth his Holy Spirit unto you.
