New Century Version

1 Thessalonians 4:5-11 New Century Version (NCV)

5. Don’t use your body for sexual sin like the people who do not know God.

6. Also, do not wrong or cheat another Christian in this way. The Lord will punish people who do those things as we have already told you and warned you.

7. God called us to be holy and does not want us to live in sin.

8. So the person who refuses to obey this teaching is disobeying God, not simply a human teaching. And God is the One who gives us his Holy Spirit.

9. We do not need to write you about having love for your Christian family, because God has already taught you to love each other.

10. And truly you do love the Christians in all of Macedonia. Brothers and sisters, now we encourage you to love them even more.

11. Do all you can to live a peaceful life. Take care of your own business, and do your own work as we have already told you.
