American Standard Version
"not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who know not God; "
— 1 Thessalonians 4:5, American Standard Version
“Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:”
“not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don't know God;”
“not in lustful passion like the Gentiles who do not know God.”
“Not in the passion of lust, like the Gentiles that know not God:”
“Not in the passion of evil desires, like the Gentiles, who have no knowledge of God;”
“Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:”
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.
For God called us not for uncleanness, but in sanctification.
Therefore he that rejecteth, rejecteth not man, but God, who giveth his Holy Spirit unto you.
