1 Thessalonians 4:3-7

Douay-Rheims Catholic Bible RHE

3 For this is the will of God, your sanctification: That you should abstain from fornication:

4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour,

5 Not in the passion of lust, like the Gentiles that know not God:

6 And that no man overreach nor circumvent his brother in business: because the Lord is the avenger of all these things, as we have told you before and have testified.

7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto sanctification.

New International Version NIV

3 It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality;

4 that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable,

5 not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God;

6 and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister. The Lord will punish all those who commit such sins, as we told you and warned you before.

7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.
