1 Thessalonians 4:5 in Context — 1 Thessalonians 4

3 Ce que Dieu veut, c’est votre sanctification; c’est que vous vous absteniez de l’impudicité;

4 c’est que chacun de vous sache posséder son corps dans la sainteté et l’honnêteté,

5 sans vous livrer à une convoitise passionnée, comme font les païens qui ne connaissent pas Dieu;

6 c’est que personne n’use envers son frère de fraude et de cupidité dans les affaires, parce que le Seigneur tire vengeance de toutes ces choses, comme nous vous l’avons déjà dit et attesté.

7 Car Dieu ne nous a pas appelés à l’impureté, mais à la sanctification.
