kjc - 1Thessalonians:4:1-12

kjc@1Thessalonians:4:1 @ Furthermore then we beseech you, brothers, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as you have received of us how you ought to walk and to please God, so you would abound more and more.

kjc@1Thessalonians:4:2 @ For you know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.

kjc@1Thessalonians:4:3 @ For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that you should abstain from fornication:

kjc@1Thessalonians:4:4 @ That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor;

kjc@1Thessalonians:4:5 @ Not in the lust of sexual desire, just as the Gentiles which know not God:

kjc@1Thessalonians:4:6 @ That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

kjc@1Thessalonians:4:7 @ For God has not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.

kjc@1Thessalonians:4:8 @ He therefore that despises, despises not man, but God, who has also given unto us his Holy Spirit.

kjc@1Thessalonians:4:9 @ But as touching brotherly love you need not that I write unto you: for you yourselves are taught of God to love one another.

kjc@1Thessalonians:4:10 @ And indeed you do it toward all the brothers which are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brothers, that you increase more and more;

kjc@1Thessalonians:4:11 @ And that you study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;

kjc@1Thessalonians:4:12 @ That you may walk honestly toward them that are outside, and that you may have lack of nothing.
