1 Thessalonians 4:4-11 American Standard Version (ASV)

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 know not God;

6. that 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.

7. For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.

8. Therefore he that rejecteth, rejecteth not man, but God, who giveth his Holy Spirit unto you.

9. But concerning love of the brethren ye have no need that one write unto you: for ye yourselves are taught of God to love one another;

10. for indeed ye do it toward all the brethren that are in all Macedonia. But we exhort you, brethren, that ye abound more and more;

11. and that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your hands, even as we charged you;
