6 that[a] no one overstep[b] and exploit[c] his brother[d] in the matter[e]. Because the Lord is the avenger concerning all these things, just as we also told you before and solemnly-warned. 7 For God did not call us for[f] impurity, but in[g] holiness. 8 So-therefore[h] the one rejecting is not rejecting a human, but God, the One also giving His Holy Spirit to you.
