1 Thessalonians 4:5-7
New Matthew Bible
5 and not in the passion of lust, as do the heathen who do not know God; 6 that no one should go too far and defraud his brother in bargaining. For the Lord is an avenger of all such things, as we have forewarned you and testified. 7 For God has not called us to uncleanness, but to holiness.
