5. Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles who know not God:
6. That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
7. For God hath not called us to uncleanness, but to holiness.
8. He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given to us his holy Spirit.
9. But concerning brotherly love ye need not that I write to you: for ye yourselves are taught by God to love one another.
10. And indeed ye do it towards all the brethren who are in all Macedonia: but we beseech you, brethren, that ye increase more and more;
11. And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you;
12. That ye may walk honestly towards them that are without, and that ye may have need of nothing.
13. But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them who are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others who have no hope.
