1 THESSALONIANS 4:4 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;”
That each one of you know how to control his own body in holiness and honor — the Greek (skeuos) typically refers to the body as the 'vessel' through which the soul operates; self-mastery over the body is prerequisite to holiness. 'In honor' (en timē) elevates bodily discipline beyond mere asceticism to reverent stewardship. The body is not the enemy but the temple of the Holy Spirit.
