The time

The times indeed of ignorance God overlooked; but now commandeth all men every where to repent;

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

And such were some of you; but ye were washed, but ye were made holy, but ye were accepted as righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

To have

as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts in your ignorance;

For, ever since the creation of the world, his invisible attributes, even his eternal power and divinity, being perceived from his works, are clearly seen, so that they might be without excuse.

in which ye once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the powers of the air, the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience;

This therefore I say, and charge you in the Lord, that ye no longer walk as the rest of the gentiles walk in the vanity of their mind,

not in the passion of lust, even as the gentiles who know not God;

For we ourselves also were once foolish, disobedient, going astray, slaves to divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

Lasciviousness

thefts, murders, adulteries, covetousness, iniquities, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness.

and lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and that I shall bewail many of those who have sinned already, and did not repent of the uncleanness, and fornication, and lasciviousness, which they committed.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest; such as fornication, uncleanness, wantonness,

who, being past feeling, have given themselves up to wantonness, to work all uncleanness in greediness.

For there have stealthily crept in certain men who were of old appointed beforehand for this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into wantonness, and denying the only Sovereign, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Excess

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

Revellings

envyings, drunkenness, revelings, and things like these; of which I tell you beforehand, as I also told you in time past, that they who practise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.
