aFurthermore then we ||bbeseech you, brethren, and ||cexhort you by the Lord Jesus, that das ye have received of us ehow ye ought to walk and fto please God, so ye would gabound more and more. 2 For ye know dwhat commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus. 3 For this is hthe will of God, even your isanctification, kthat ye should abstain from fornication: 4 That every one of you should know how lto possess mhis vessel in isanctification and nhonour; 5 Not in othe lust of oconcupiscence, even pas the Gentiles qwhich know not God: 6 That no man go beyond and ||defraud rhis brother ||in any matter: because that the Lord sis the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and ttestified. 7 For God uhath not called us unto wuncleanness, but xunto iholiness. 8 yHe therefore that ||despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, zwho hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.

9 But as touching abrotherly love bye need not that I write unto you: for ye yourselves bbare taught of God cto love one another. 10 And indeed dye do it toward all the brethren which are in all eMacedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye fincrease more and more; 11 And that ye gstudy hto be quiet, and ito do kyour own business, and lto work with your own hands, as we commanded you; 12 mThat ye may walk mnhonestly toward othem that are without, and that ye may have lack ||of nothing.
