1 Thessalonians 4:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 [a]And not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
6 (A)[b]That no man oppress or defraud his brother in any matter: for the Lord is avenger of all such things, as we also have told you beforetime, and testified.
7 (B)For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
