1 Thess 4:4      1 Thess 4:6

First letter to the Thessalonians 4:5

It must not be done in passions and desires as among the Gentiles who do not know God.
[The word "vessel" is probably used figuratively for the body, as Paul uses it in 2 Cor. 4:7. Anyone who sins in the sexual realm sins against his own body, see 1 Cor. 6:19–20. In rabbinical language, vessel can also refer to one's wife. Peter uses the word in this way, see 1 Pet. 3:7. It can also be a euphemism, i.e., a circumlocution for the sexual organs.]
