1. Finally then, brothers and sisters, we ask you and appeal in the Lord Yeshua—just as you received from us the way you ought to walk and please God (as in fact you are walking)—that you keep progressing more and more.
2. For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Yeshua.
3. For this is the will of God—your sanctification: to abstain from sexual immorality;
4. to know, each of you, how to gain control over his own body in holiness and honor—
5. not in the passion of lust like the pagans who do not know God;
6. and not to overstep his brother and take advantage of him in this matter— because the Lord is the avenger in all these things, as we told you before and solemnly warned you.
7. For God did not call us to impurity, but in holiness.
