1 Thessalonians 4:1-6 (The Message)
View In My Bible
1
One final word, friends. We ask you - urge is more like it - that you keep on doing what we told you to do to please God, not in a dogged religious plod, but in a living, spirited dance.
2
You know the guidelines we laid out for you from the Master Jesus.
3
God wants you to live a pure life. Keep yourselves from sexual promiscuity.
4
Learn to appreciate and give dignity to your body,
5
not abusing it, as is so common among those who know nothing of God.
6
Don't run roughshod over the concerns of your brothers and sisters. Their concerns are God's concerns, and he will take care of them. We've warned you about this before.
