For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you should abstain from sexual immorality; |
For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality (fornication); |
It is God’s will that you should be sanctified; that you should avoid sexual immorality; |
For this is the will of God, that you should be consecrated (separated and set apart for pure and holy living): that you should abstain and shrink from all sexual vice, |
for this is the will of God, your being set apart [from sin to holiness], that you should hold yourselves off from fornication; |
God’s plan is to make you holy, and that means a clean cut with sexual immorality. |
For it is God’s will that you should be pure in person, that you should practice abstinence from sexual immorality, |
