"For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:
That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter: because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.
For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness.
He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit"
1 Thessalonians 4:3-8
Interesting things here. That lust seems to be defrauding, for one, but lots to think about elsewhere too. I like the fact that God is the avenger, that we don't despise others because that attitude is always towards God and his creation of the object of our derision. Today, let's think about how we treat others, and work on answering God's call to Holiness.
