The time

Then indeed God winking at the times of ignorance, now commands all men everywhere to repent:

Then therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to depravity, to live according to depravity.

And such were some of you: but you have washed, but you have been sanctified, but you have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the Spirit of our God.

To have

As children of obedience, not being fashioned after your former lusts in ignorance:

for the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are seen, being known by the things which are made, even His eternal power and divinity; so that they are without excuse:

in which at one time you walked about according to the age of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit which is now working in the sons of disobedience;

Therefore I say this, and witness in the Lord, that you no longer walk about as the Gentiles also walk about in the vanity of their mind,

not in the passion of lust, as indeed the Gentiles who do not know God;

For when we also were without understanding, being disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in sin and envy, hateful, hating one another;

Lasciviousness

thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, impurity, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, folly.

lest, I again having come, my God will humble me before you, and I will mourn over many of those having previously committed sins, and not having repented over the uncleanness and the fornication and debauchery which they have done.

But the works of carnality are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, debauchery,

who being past feeling have given themselves up to debauchery, unto the working of all impurity with greediness.

For certain men have crept in, who long ago were written down to this judgment, ungodly, transforming the grace of God into impurity, even denying Jesus Christ, our only Sovereign and Lord.

Excess

Be not drunk with wine, in which there is riot, but be ye filled with the Spirit;

Revellings

envyings, drunkenness, revellings, and things like unto these: which I tell you beforehand, as I did previously say to you, that those doing such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
