1 Thessalonians 4:3

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

Ver. 3. For this is the will of God ] This is his prescribing will, which we must obey; as we must submit to his disposing will, the will of his providence, and grow acquainted with his approving will, the will of his gracious acceptance, Matthew 18:14 ; John 1:23 .
