1 Thessalonians 4:7
Berean Standard Bible (BSB)
For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness.
In context
5 not in lustful passion like the Gentiles who do not know God;
6 and no one should ever violate or exploit his brother in this regard, because the Lord will avenge all such acts, as we have already told you and solemnly warned you.
7 For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness.
8 Anyone, then, who rejects this command does not reject man but God, the very One who gives you His Holy Spirit.
9 Now about brotherly love, you do not need anyone to write to you, because you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another.
