worldly Amusements and pleasures » Indulgence in » A characteristic of the wicked

Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thy heart, I am, and none else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:
This I say therefore, and testify in the Lord, that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind,
Who being past feeling have given themselves over to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
Traitors, heady, high-minded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.
