That

Sentence of death therefore shall not pass upon those christians who do not lead a vicious life.

for tho' I am involv'd with the world, I don't sustain the war with their poor arts:

Marriage is every where honourable, and that state is innocent: but the licentious and adulterers God will punish.

In the

wherefore God abandon'd them to the impure passions of their own hearts, so that they themselves dishonour'd their own bodies;

Know you not that the unjust shall not inherit the kingdom of God? be not deceived: neither the licentious, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate, nor the brutal,

who without remorse, have abandon'd themselves to brutality, in gratifying every lewd unnatural passion.

Mortify therefore your sensual appetites, fornication, impurity, irregular passions, wicked desires, and that licentiousness practised by idolaters.

and glorify God in the times of distress. be subject therefore, for the Lord's sake to every human establishment: whether it be to the king,

Selfwilled

for a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not morose, not soon angry, not given to wine, not violent, not desirous of unlawful gain.

To speak

Paul replied, I did not consider, brethren, that he was the high priest. it is indeed written, "thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people."

yet these visionary debauchees despise princes, and traduce dignitys.
