Concluding Ethical Instructions

4 Marriage [must be] held in honor by all, and the marriage bed [be] undefiled, because God will judge sexually immoral people and adulterers. 5 Your lifestyle [must be] free from the love of money, being content with what you have. For he himself has said, "I will never desert you, and I will never abandon you." 6 So then, we can say with confidence, "The Lord [is] my helper, I will not be afraid. What will man do to me?"
