Sawyer⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ ^(2:1) FINALLY, therefore, brothers, we beseech and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, as you have received from us how you ought to walk and please God, that you abound still more. ² For you know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. ³ For this is the will of God, your purity, that you should abstain from fornication, ⁴ that each one should know how to have his wife in purity and honor, ⁵ not with inordinate desires like the gentiles who know not God, ⁶ that he should not go beyond and defraud his brother in the matter, because the Lord is a punisher of all these, as we also told you before and fully testified. ⁷ For God has not called us to impurity, but to purity. ⁸ He therefore that despises, despises not man, but God, who also gives us his Holy Spirit.
