The time

God, therefore, having overlooked the time of ignorance, now commands all men everywhere to repent;

Accordingly, 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 sanctified, 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 conforming yourselves to the former desires in your ignorance;

For His invisible things, since the creation of the world, are clearly seen, being perceived by the things that are made, even His everlasting power and divinity; that they may be without excuse:

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

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

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

For we also were once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving manifold desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

Lasciviousness

covetings, wickednesses, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness:

lest, when I come again, my God should humble me before you, and I should mourn for many of those who have heretofore sinned, and repented not of the uncleanness, and fornication and lasciviousness which they practiced.

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

who, indeed, having become without feeling, delivered themselves up to lasciviousness for the working of all uncleanness with greediness.

For there crept in stealthily certain men, who of old were set forth for this condemnation, ungodly men, changing the grace of our God into lasciviousness; and denying the only Master and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Excess

And be not drunken with wine, in which is riot, but be filled with the Spirit;

Revellings

envyings, drunkenness, revelings, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, as I also said before, that those practicing such things shall not inherit the Kingdom of God.

General references

in which things ye also formerly walked, when ye were living in these things.
