3 Want dit is die wil van God: julle heiligmaking; dat julle jul moet onthou van die hoerery;

4 dat elkeen van julle moet weet om sy eie vrou te verkry in heiligheid en eer,

5 nie in hartstogtelike begeerlikheid soos die heidene wat God nie ken nie;

3 For the purpose of God for you is this: that you may be holy, and may keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh;

4 So that every one of you may keep his body holy and in honour;

5 Not in the passion of evil desires, like the Gentiles, who have no knowledge of God;
