1 Thessalonians 4:3-8 TPT “God’s will is for you to be set apart for him in holiness and that you keep yourselves unpolluted from sexual defilement.
4 Yes, each of you must guard your sexual purity with holiness and dignity,
5 not yielding to lustful passions like those who don’t know God.
6 Never take selfish advantage of a brother or sister in this matter, for we’ve already told you and solemnly warned you that the Lord is the avenger in all these things.
7 For God’s call on our lives is not to a life of compromise and perversion but to a life surrounded in holiness.
8 Therefore, whoever rejects this instruction isn’t rejecting human authority but God himself, who gives us his precious gift—his Spirit of holiness.“
Sanctification: “Sanctification (or in its verb form, sanctify) literally means “to set apart for special use or purpose,” that is, to make holy or sacred (compare Latin: sanctus). Therefore, sanctification refers to the state or process of being set apart, i.e., “made holy,” as a vessel, full of the Holy Spirit of God.”
If you live a life of compromise, yielding to your worldly lustful passion as pagans, God cannot use you, and you will reap what you have sown.
