For the rest therefore, brethren, pray and beseech you in the Lord Jesus that, as you have received from us, how you ought to walk and to please God, so also you would walk, that you may abound the more. 2For you know what precepts I have given to you by the Lord Jesus. 3For this is the will of God, your sanctification: That you should abstain from fornication: 4That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour, 5Not in the passion of lust, like the Gentiles that know not God: 6And 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. 7For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto sanctification. 8Therefore, he that despiseth these things, despiseth not man, but God, who also hath given his holy Spirit in us.
