Commentary on 1 Thessalonians 4:5 (Summary)

1 Thessalonians 4:5 (ESV)

This verse is full of warning. The man who does not know God is oh so quickly a plaything for evil passions. The Greek world in Paul’s day made that abundantly clear on the sexual terrain. And is it any different today? Respect for God is a fine medicine against the domination of our desires.
