1 Thessalonians 4:6-8

6 No one is ever to wrong or take advantage of a brother in this regard.
As we have previously instructed you and solemnly warned you, the Lord is the avenger in all this. 7 For God has called us to holiness, not to impurity. 8 Therefore, anyone who rejects these instructions[a] rejects not human authority but the God who also gives his Holy Spirit to you.
