New International Version
5 not in passionate lust(A) like the pagans,(B) who do not know God;(C) 6 and that in this matter no one should wrong or take advantage of a brother or sister.[a](D) The Lord will punish(E) all those who commit such sins,(F) as we told you and warned you before. 7 For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life.(G) 8 Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit.(H)

5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
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.
