1 Thessalonians 4:3-8

New Revised Standard NRS

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

4 that each one of you know how to control your own body in holiness and honor,

5 not with lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God;

6 that no one wrong or exploit a brother or sister in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, just as we have already told you beforehand and solemnly warned you.

7 For God did not call us to impurity but in holiness.

8 Therefore whoever rejects this rejects not human authority but God, who also gives his Holy Spirit to you.

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.

8 Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.
