Consequently, brothers, we are not with respect to human nature, that is under an obligation to live according to human nature.

That is what some of you were! But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of our Lord Jesus the Messiah and by the Spirit of our God.

To have

As obedient children, do not be shaped by the desires that used to influence you when you were ignorant.

not with passion and lust like the gentiles who do not know God.

After all, we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, and misled. We were slaves to many kinds of lusts and pleasures, spending our days in malice and jealousy. We were despised, and we hated one another.

Lasciviousness

adultery, greed, wickedness, cheating, shameless lust, envy, slander, arrogance, and foolishness.

I am afraid that when I come my God may again humble me before you and that I may have to grieve over many who formerly lived in sin and have not repented of their impurity, sexual immorality, and promiscuity that they once practiced.

Now the actions of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, promiscuity,

Excess

Who has woe? Who has grief? Who has contention? Who has complaints? Who has wounds without cause? Who has bloodshot eyes?

"How terrible it will be for those who rise at dawn in order to grab a stiff drink, for those who stay up late at night as wine inflames them!

These people also stagger from wine and reel from strong drink. Priests and prophets stagger from strong drink; they're drunk from wine; they reel from strong drink, waver when seeing visions, and stumble when rendering decisions.

Stop getting drunk with wine, which leads to wild living, but keep on being filled with the Spirit.

Revellings

envy, murder, drunkenness, wild partying, and things like that. I am telling you now, as I have told you in the past, that people who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
