3 God wants you to be made holy. He wants you to stay away from sexual sins.
4 He wants all of you to learn to control your own bodies. You must live in a way that is holy. You must live with honor.
5 Don't long to commit sexual sins like those who don't know God.
6 None of you should sin against your brother by doing that. You should not take advantage of him. The Lord will punish everyone who commits those kinds of sins. We have already told you and warned you about that.
7 God chose us to live pure lives. He wants us to be holy.
8 So if you refuse to accept my teaching, you turn your back on God, not on people. God gives you his Holy Spirit.
9 We don't need to write to you about love among believers. God himself has taught you to love each other.
