1 Thessalonians 3

1 Thessalonians 3:1

We thought it good to be left at Athens alone.

We were well content rather to be left alone at Athens, than ye should want the help and comfort of so worthy a teacher, as Timotheus our brother. IV. 4, 5. That every one of you should know, how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God. That every one of you should know how to use and govern his body, holily and chastely; Not yielding yourselves over to be slaves unto your own beastly lusts and inordinate desires, as the Gentiles which know not God.
