<< 1 Thessalonians 3 | 1 Thessalonians 4 | 1 Thessalonians 5 >>

For this is the will of God, your sanctification: [1] that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body [2] in holiness and honor, not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God; that no one transgress and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we told you beforehand and solemnly warned you.
