Context
A Life Pleasing to God
4:1 Finally then, brothers and sisters , we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus , that as you received instruction from us about how you must live and please God (as you are in fact living ) that you do so more and more .
4:2 For you know what commands we gave you through the Lord Jesus .
4:3 For this is God’s will : that you become holy , that you keep away from sexual immorality ,
4:4 that each of you know how to possess his own body in holiness and honor ,
4:5 not in lustful passion like the Gentiles who do not know God .
4:6 In this matter no one should violate the rights of his brother or take advantage of him, because the Lord is the avenger in all these cases , as we also told you earlier and warned you solemnly .
4:7 For God did not call us to impurity but in holiness .
4:8 Consequently the one who rejects this is not rejecting human authority but God , who gives his Holy Spirit to you .
4:9 Now on the topic of brotherly love you have no need for anyone to write you , for you yourselves are taught by God to love one another .
