1 Thessalonians 4:4-6
Revised Geneva Translation
4 so that every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in holiness and honor,
5 not in the passion of lust (as the Gentiles do, who do not know God),
6 so that no one oppresses or defrauds his brother in any matter. For the Lord is Avenger of all such things, as we also have told you previously, and testified.
