SEV Biblia, Chapter 4:5

no con afecto de concupiscencia, como los gentiles que no conocen a Dios:

Clarke's Bible Commentary - 1 Thessalonians 4:5

Verse 5. Not in the
lust of concupiscence] Having no rational object, aim, nor end. Some say, "not like beasts;" but this does not apply as they who use it wish, for the males and females of the brute creation are regular and consistent in their intercourse, and scarcely ever exceed such bounds as reason itself would prescribe to those most capable of observing and obeying its dictates.

The Gentiles which know not God] These are the beasts; their own brutes are rational creatures when compared with them. Enough has been said on this subject on Romans 1, and 2: They who wish to see more may consult Juvenal, and particularly his 6th and 9th Satires; and indeed all the writers on Greek and Roman morals.


Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 1-8 - To abide in the faith of the gospel is not enough, we must abound in the work of faith. The rule according to which all ought to walk an act, is the commandments given by the Lord Jesus Christ Sanctification, in the renewal of their souls under the influences of the Holy Spirit, and attention to appointed duties, constituted the will of God respecting them. In aspiring after this renewal of the sou unto holiness, strict restraint must be put upon the appetites an senses of the body, and on the thoughts and inclinations of the will which lead to wrong uses of them. The Lord calls none into his famil to live unholy lives, but that they may be taught and enabled to wal before him in holiness. Some make light of the precepts of holiness because they hear them from men; but they are God's commands, and to break them is to despise God.

Vincent's NT Word Studies

5. Not in the
lust of concupiscence (mh en paqei epiqumiav). Lit. in passion of desire. Not with avaricious greed. For ejpiqumia see on Mark iv. 19. Its meaning is by no means limited to sensual lust; see, for instance, Luke xxii. 15. It is used as including all kinds of worldly desires, as Gal. v. 16, 24; 1 John ii. 17. In Rom. vii. 7, especially of covetousness.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

4:5 {Not in the passion of
lust} (me en paqei epiqumias). Plain picture of the wrong way for the husband to come to marriage. {That know not God} (ta me eidota ton qeon). Second perfect participle of oida. The heathen knew gods as lascivious as they are themselves, but not God. One of the reasons for the revival of paganism in modern life is professedly this very thing that men wish to get rid of the inhibitions against lasciviousness by God.
