The verses around it, from 1 Thessalonians 4.
1 Finally, brothers, we ask and encourage you in the Lord Jesus to live in a way that is pleasing to God, just as you have received from us. This is how you already live, so you should do so all the more.
2 For you know the instructions we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.
3 For it is God’s will that you should be holy: You must abstain from sexual immorality;
4 each of you must know how to control his own body in holiness and honor,
5 not in lustful passion like the Gentiles who do not know God;
6 and no one should ever violate or exploit his brother in this regard, because the Lord will avenge all such acts, as we have already told you and solemnly warned you.
7 For God has not called us to impurity, but to holiness.
