1 Thessalonians 4:8

Appeal For Continuing Sanctification

⁷ For God has not called us to impurity but to sanctification. ⁸ Therefore, the person who rejects this does not reject man, but God, who also gives you His Holy Spirit. ⁹ About brotherly love: You don’t need me to write you because you yourselves are taught by God to love one another.
