1 Thessalonians 4:3-8

Holman Christian Standard Bible

³ For this is God’s will,^(A) your sanctification:^(B) that you abstain^(C) from sexual immorality, ⁴ so that each of you knows how to control his own body^[a] in sanctification and honor, ⁵ not with lustful desires,^(D) like the Gentiles who don’t know God. ⁶ This means one must not transgress against and defraud^(E) his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger of all these offenses,^[b] as we also previously told and warned you. ⁷ For God has not called us to impurity^(F) but to sanctification. ⁸ Therefore, the person who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who also gives you His Holy Spirit.^(G)
