1Finally then, brethren, we beseech and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that, as ye received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, even as ye do walk, --that ye abound more and more.

2For ye know what charge we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

3For this is the will of God, [even] your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication;

4that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

5not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who know not God;

6that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in the matter: because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.
