1 Thessalonians 4:1-8

CSB

NIV

1 Finally then, brothers, we ask and encourage you in the Lord Jesus, that as you have received from us how you must walk and please God-as you are doing-do so even more.
1 As for other matters, brothers and sisters, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more.
2 For you know what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
2 For you know what instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.
3 For this is God's will, your sanctification: that you abstain from sexual immorality,
3 It is God’s will that you should be sanctified: that you should avoid sexual immorality;
4 so that each of you knows how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor,
4 that each of you should learn to control your own body in a way that is holy and honorable,
5 not with lustful desires, like the Gentiles who don't know God.
5 not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God;
6 This means one must not transgress against and defraud his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger of all these offenses, as we also previously told and warned you.
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 has not called us to impurity, but to sanctification.
7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.
8 Therefore, the person who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who also gives you His Holy Spirit.
8 Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.
