1. Now then, brothers and sisters, because of the Lord Jesus we ask and encourage you to excel in living a God-pleasing life even more than you already do. Do this the way we taught you.
2. You know what orders we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
3. It is God’s will that you keep away from sexual sin as a mark of your devotion to him.
4. Each of you should know that finding a husband or wife for yourself is to be done in a holy and honorable way,
5. not in the passionate, lustful way of people who don’t know God.
