1 Thessalonians 4:5
Print
not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles who know not God;
not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who know not God;
not [to be used] in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God and are ignorant of His will;
Not [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,
Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
not with lustful passions, like the Gentiles, who don’t know God.
Don’t be controlled by your sexual urges like the Gentiles who don’t know God.
without giving in to lustful desires, like the pagans who don’t know God.
Don't be a slave of your desires or live like people who don't know God.
(not in passionate desire, even as the nations who know not God,)
not in the passion of  desire as indeed the Gentiles not knowing God;
Not in the passion of lust, like the Gentiles that know not God:
Don’t let your sexual desires control you like the people who don’t know God.
People who do not know God strongly want to have sex in a wrong way. They cannot control themselves. You must not be like those people.
not in lustful passion like the heathen, who do not know God.
not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God;
not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God;
·Don’t use your body for sexual sin [L …not in lustful passion] like the ·people [L Gentiles] who do not know God.
And not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
not in the passionate, lustful way of people who don’t know God.
not with a lustful desire, like the heathen who do not know God.
not with lustful desires, like the Gentiles who don’t know God.
Don’t give in to lust like people who do not know God.
not with passion and lust like the gentiles who do not know God.
God’s plan is to make you holy, and that entails first of all a clean cut with sexual immorality. Every one of you should learn to control his body, keeping it pure and treating it with respect, and never regarding it as an instrument for self-gratification, as do pagans with no knowledge of God. You cannot break this rule without in some way cheating your fellow-men. And you must remember that God will punish all who do offend in this matter, and we have warned you how we have seen this work out in our experience of life. The calling of God is not to impurity but to the most thorough purity, and anyone who makes light of the matter is not making light of man’s ruling but of God’s command. It is not for nothing that the Spirit God gives us is called the Holy Spirit.
not with affection of lust, as the Gentiles who do not know God,
Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God;
not in lustful passion, just as also the Gentiles who do not know God;
not in lustful passion as the heathen do, in their ignorance of God and his ways.
Learn to appreciate and give dignity to your body, not abusing it, as is so common among those who know nothing of God.
not in the lust of depravity, even as the Gentiles who do not know God,
not with the passion of lust, like · the Gentiles who do not know · God.
not in the passionate, lustful way of people who don’t know God.
not in lustful passion as do the Gentiles who do not know God;
not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God;
not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God;
not to gratify passion like the Gentiles who do not know God.
Don’t use your body for sexual sin like the people who do not know God.
not in lustful passion like the Gentiles who do not know God.
Don’t desire to commit sexual sins like people who don’t know God.
not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God;
not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God;
not in passion of lust, like the Gentiles who do not know God;
You should not use it to please your own desires like the people who do not know God.
not in lustful passion like the pagans who do not know God and his ways.
and not in the passion of lust, as do the heathen who do not know God;
not with lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God;
not with lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God;
not with lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God;
not with lustful passion, like the gentiles who do not know God;
not in the madness of lust like Gentiles who don’t know God.
Not in the passion of ta’avah (evil desire, lust) like Goyim who do not have da’as of Hashem;
not in the passion of lust (as the Gentiles do, who do not know God),
not in the passion of lust like heathen who do not know God;
not in the passion of lust like heathen who do not know God;
not in the passion of lust like the pagans who do not know God;
Don’t let the swells of lustful passion run your life as they do the outsiders who don’t know God.
not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God,
Do not have sex with a person you are not married to. Control your strong feelings. Do not act like the people who do not know God.
not in passion of lust, as heathen men that know not God.
not in the affection of desire, as also the nations that were not knowing God,
