1
Finally then, brothers, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God, -- that you abound more and more.
2
For you know what charge we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
3
For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,
4
that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,
5
not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don`t know God;
6
that no one should take advantage of and wrong a brother or sister in this matter; because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.
7
For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.
8
Therefore he who rejects, doesn`t reject man, but God, who has also given his Holy Spirit to you.
