4:1
    [kjv]  Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more.
    [bbe]  And last of all, the prayer which we make to you from our heart and in the name of the Lord Jesus, is this: that as we made clear to you what sort of behaviour is pleasing to God, as in fact you are doing now, so you will go on in these ways, but more and more.
4:2  
    [kjv]  For ye know what commandments we gave you by the Lord Jesus.
    [bbe]  Because you have in mind the orders we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
4:3
    [kjv]  For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:
