"For this is God’s will: that you become holy, that you keep away from sexual immorality,"

“For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:”
“For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye abstain from fornication; ”
“For this is the will of God: your sanctification, that you abstain 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:”
A Life Pleasing to God Finally then, brothers and sisters, we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received instruction from us about how you must live and please God(as you are in fact living) that you do so more and more.
For you know what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
For this is God’s will: that you become holy, that you keep away from sexual immorality,
that each of you know how to possess his own body in holiness and honor,
not in lustful passion like the Gentiles who do not know God.
In this matter no one should violate the rights of his brother or take advantage of him, because the Lord is the avenger in all these cases, as we also told you earlier and warned you solemnly.
