That

THERE is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

For though we walk in the flesh, we war not after the flesh:

Marriage is honourable for all persons, and the marriage bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

In the

Wherefore God abandoned them, through the lusts of their own hearts, unto impurity, to dishonour their own bodies by themselves:

Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor sodomites,

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

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, or impure person, or avaricious, who is an idolater, hath an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Mortify therefore your members which are on the earth, fornication, impurity, the vile passion, evil concupiscence, and insatiable desire, which is idolatry:

For God hath not called us unto impurity, but unto holiness.

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.

Despise

But his citizens hated him, and sent an embassy after him, saying, We will not have this man to rule over us.

LET every soul be subject to the superior powers: for there is no power but from God; the existing powers are appointed by God.

Be subject therefore to every human constitution for the Lord's sake; whether to a king as the supreme magistrate;

Selfwilled

For a bishop ought to be irreproachable, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not irritable, not addicted to wine, not quarrelsome, not greedy of filthy lucre;

To speak

And Paul said, I had not observed, brethren, that he was high-priest: for it is written, "Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people."

In like manner also do these men, even when they dream, defile indeed the flesh, despise sovereignty, and revile dignities.
