Appeal For Continuing Sanctification

⁶ not overstepping the rights of and wronging his brother in the matter, because the Lord is the avenger of all these things, even as we also told you before, and have fully testified. ⁷ For God has not called us to uncleanness, but in sanctification. ⁸ He therefore that in this disregards his brother, disregards, not man, but God, who has given also his Holy Spirit to you.
