1 Thessalonians 4:1-5 Modern English Version (MEV)

1. Finally, brothers, we urge and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as you have learned from us how you ought to walk and to please God, you should excel more and more.

2. For you know what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus.

3. For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality,

4. that each one of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

5. not in the lust of depravity, even as the Gentiles who do not know God,
