The time

And thou shalt say to the perverse to the house of Israel, Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Enough for you of all your abominations, O house of Israel.

Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Enough to you, O princes of Israel: remove ye violence and oppression, and do judgment and justice, lift up your expulsions from off my people, says the Lord Jehovah.

Therefore truly, God having overlooked the times of ignorance, now announces to all men everywhere to repent:

Therefore, brethren, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

And these were some of you: but ye were washed, but ye were consecrated, but ye were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

To have

As children of obedience, not as formerly conforming yourselves to eager desire in your ignorance:

Watch to thyself lest thou shalt be snared after them after their being destroyed from before thee; and lest thou shalt seek to their gods, saying, How shall these nations serve their gods? and so will I do also.

For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world, being understood by things made, are inspected, truly both his eternal power and divinity; so that they are inexcusable:

In which when ye walked according to the life of this world, according to the ruler of the power of the air, of the spirit now energetic in the sons of disobedience:

Therefore this I say, and testify in the Lord, that ye no more walk as also the rest of the nations, in the vanity of their mind,

Not in the passion of eager desire, as also the nations not knowing God:

For once we also were unwise disobedient, deceived, being slaves to eager desires and various pleasures, living in vexation and envy, hated, and hating one another.

Lasciviousness

Thefts, overreaching, deceit, licentiousness, an evil eye, defamation, pride, foolishness:

Lest, coming again, my God should humble me with you, and I shall mourn for many of them having sinned before, and not having repented for uncleanness, and fornication, and licentiousness which they committed.

And the works of the flesh are manifest, which are; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,

Who no longer having had feeling delivered themselves to licentiousness, to the work of all uncleanness in overreaching.

For certain men entered in by stealth, long ago written of beforehand for judgment, irreligious, having changed the grace of our God into licentiousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Excess

And Absalom will command his boys, saying, See now, when the heart of Amnon is good with wine, and I said to you, Strike Amnon; and kill him; ye shall not be afraid, for I commanded you: be strong and be for sons of strength.

To whom wo? to whom want? to whom strife? to whom complaint? to whom wounds gratuitously? to whom dark fleshings of the eyes?

Wo to those rising early in the morning, they will follow strong drink; remaining in the evening, wine will inflame them.

And these also went astray by wine, and by strong drink they erred; the priest and the prophet went astray by strong drink, they were swallowed up from wine, they erred from strong drink, they went astray in seeing, they wavered in judgment.

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

Revellings

Envyings, slaughters, drunkenness, revelries, and the like: to these which I foretell you, as I have also said before, that they doing such shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

General references

And if the brightness shall stand still, lowest, spreading not, it the scar of the burning sore; and the priest cleansed him.

And hear to the voice of Jehovah thy God and do his commands and his laws which I command thee this day.

And judgment dwelling in the desert, and justice shall sit in Carmel.

In which also ye then walked, when ye lived in them.
