FIRST READING
A reading from the first Letter of Saint Paul to the Thessalonians 4:1-8
This is the will of God, your sanctification.
Brethren, we beg and exhort you in the Lord Jesus, that as you learned from us how you ought to walk and to please God; just as you are doing, you do so more and more. For you know what instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus. For this is the will of God, your sanctification: that you abstain from immorality; that each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honour, not in the passion of lust like heathens who do not know God; that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in this matter, because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as we solemnly forewarned you. For God has not called us for uncleanness, but in holiness. Therefore whoever disregards this, disregards not man but God, who gives his Holy Spirit to you.
V/ The word of the Lord.
R/ Thanks be to God.
