1 Thessalonians 4
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
3 Ref for this is the will of God -- your sanctification; that ye abstain from the whoredom,
4 Ref that each of you know his own vessel to possess in sanctification and honour,
5 Ref not in the affection of desire, as also the nations that were not knowing God,
6 Ref that no one go beyond and defraud in the matter his brother, because an avenger `is' the Lord of all these, as also we spake before to you and testified,
7 Ref for God did not call us on uncleanness, but in sanctification;
8 Ref he, therefore, who is despising -- doth not despise man, but God, who also did give His Holy Spirit to us.
American Standard-ASV1901 (ASV)
3 Ref For this is the will of God, `even' your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication;
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 know not God;
6 Ref that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in the matter: because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.
7 Ref For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.
8 Ref Therefore he that rejecteth, rejecteth not man, but God, who giveth his Holy Spirit unto you.
