"Because you have in mind the orders we gave you through the Lord Jesus."
— 1 Thessalonians 4:2, Bible in Basic English
“For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.”
“For ye know what charge we gave you through the Lord Jesus. ”
“For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.”
“For you know what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus.”
“For you know what precepts I have given to you by the Lord Jesus.”
“For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.”
And last of all, the prayer which we make to you from our heart and in the name of the Lord Jesus, is this: that as we made clear to you what sort of behaviour is pleasing to God, as in fact you are doing now, so you will go on in these ways, but more and more.
Because you have in mind the orders we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
For the purpose of God for you is this: that you may be holy, and may keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh;
So that every one of you may keep his body holy and in honour;
Not in the passion of evil desires, like the Gentiles, who have no knowledge of God;
