Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.

For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:

In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.

That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
