American Standard Version
"For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication; "
— 1 Thessalonians 4:3, American Standard Version
“For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:”
“For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain from sexual immorality,”
“For this is God’s will: that you become holy, that you keep away from sexual immorality,”
“For this is the will of God, your sanctification: That you should abstain from fornication:”
“For the purpose of God for you is this: that you may be holy, and may keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh;”
“For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:”
Finally 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.
For ye know what charge we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication;
that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,
not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who know not God;
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.
