1 Thessalonians 4:4-6

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁴That each one of you should know how to ^[a]possess (control, manage) his own ^[b]body in consecration (purity, separated from things profane) and honor,

⁵Not [to be used] in the passion of lust like the heathen, who are ignorant of the true God and have no knowledge of His will,

⁶That no man transgress and overreach his brother and defraud him in this matter or defraud his brother in business. For the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we have already warned you solemnly and ^[c]told you plainly.

1 Thessalonians 4:4 Some of the early versions of the Bible read “vessel” here. The reading “body” is supported by most lexicons, and by such translations as Ronald Knox, The Holy Bible: A Translation from the Latin Vulgate; J.B. Phillips, New Testament in Modern English; and Arthur S. Way, Way’s Epistles: The Letters of St. Paul to Seven Churches and Three Friends.
