1 Thessalonians 4
World English Bible (WEB)
3 Ref For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,
4 Ref that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,
5 Ref not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don't know God;
6 Ref that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.

4 Ref So that every one of you may keep his body holy and in honour;
5 Ref Not in the passion of evil desires, like the Gentiles, who have no knowledge of God;
6 Ref And that no man may make attempts to get the better of his brother in business: for the Lord is the judge in all these things, as we said to you before and gave witness.
