1 THESSALONIANS 4:5 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 0
1 Thess 4:41 Thess 4:6
“Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:”
Not in the passion of lust like the Gentiles who do not know God — the contrast is stark: ignorance of God issues in uncontrolled passion (epithumia). The 'Gentiles' here are not the Thessalonians themselves but the pagan world from which they have been delivered. Lust (pathos) is the mark of spiritual alienation from the true God.
