1 Thessalonians 4:7

Appeal For Continuing Sanctification

⁶ Not over-reaching and defrauding, in the matter, his brother; because, an avenger, is the Lord, concerning all these things, - even as we before told you, and solemnly called you to witness. ⁷ For God did not call us, with a permission of impurity, but, in sanctification. ⁸ Therefore, indeed, he that disregardeth - it is, not a man, he disregardeth, but God, - Who giveth his Holy Spirit unto you.
