This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

1Th 4:3. Θέλημα, a will) [a thing which God wills]. So ch. 1Th 5:18, without the article. There are many wills, Act 13:22.-ὁ) The mark of the subject.-ἁγιασμὸς ὑμῶν, your sanctification) The word, your [i.e. present sanctification, as contrasted with the past], recalls to the memory of the Thessalonians their former profane condition. Sanctification especially includes chastity.-ἀπὸ τῆς πορνείας, from fornication) Exalted Christians as they were, yet they required to be admonished respecting this sin; for the Gentiles had no scruples as to carnal lewdness.
