The time

These times indeed of ignorance God then overlooked; but he now commands all men in every place to repent:

Truly then we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

Yet such were some of you: but ye have been washed, but ye have been sanctified, but ye have been justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the spirit of our God.

To have

as obedient children, not conformed to the former passions of the days of your ignorance:

For from the creation of the world his invisible perfections, discoverable in the works that are made, are clearly seen, even his eternal power and deity; so that they are inexcusable:

wherein in times past ye walked after the fashion of this world, after the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now worketh with energy in the children of disobedience:

This then I urge and testify in the Lord, that ye walk no more as the other Gentiles walk in the vanity of their mind,

not in the vile passion of lewdness, as the Gentiles which know not God;

For we ourselves also in time past were thoughtless, disobedient, erroneous, enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

Lasciviousness

thefts, inordinate cravings, mischievous actions, knavery, lewdness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, folly:

and lest when I come to you again, my God should bow me down, and I should lament over many who have sinned before, and have not repented of the impurities, and whoredom, and lasciviousness which they have committed.

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are these: adultery, whoredom, impurity, lasciviousness,

who insensible to remorse, have delivered themselves over in lasciviousness, to the practice of all impurity, with insatiable avidity.

For certain men have craftily introduced themselves, who were from of old proscribed for this condemnation, ungodly men, changing the grace of God into impurity, and denying our only sovereign God and Lord, Jesus Christ.

Excess

And be not drunk with wine, in which there is sottishness, but be filled with the Spirit;

Revellings

envyings, murders, drunkenness, revels, and the like of these, concerning which I tell you now, as I have told you already, that they who live in such practices shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

in which ye also walked formerly when ye lived among them:
