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,
Bible in Basic English (BBE)
3 Ref For the purpose of God for you is this: that you may be holy, and may keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh;
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.
