That

Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh,

Marriage is to be held in honor among all, and the marriage bed is to be undefiled; for fornicators and adulterers God will judge.

In the

Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them.

Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals,

and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness.

For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or covetous man, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to

immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry.

For God has not called us for the purpose of impurity, but in sanctification.

For certain persons have crept in unnoticed, those who were long beforehand

marked out for this condemnation, ungodly persons who turn the grace of our God into licentiousness and deny our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

Despise

Then Moses sent a summons to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they said, “We will not come up.

The man who acts presumptuously by not listening to the priest who stands there to serve the Lord your God, nor to the judge, that man shall die; thus you shall purge the evil from Israel.

They shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey us, he is a glutton and a drunkard.’

But certain

worthless men said, “How can this one deliver us?” And they despised him and did not bring him any present. But he kept silent.

Now a worthless fellow happened to be there whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite; and he blew the trumpet and said,
“We have no portion in David,
Nor do we have inheritance in the son of Jesse;

Every man to his tents, O Israel!”

When all Israel saw that the king did not listen to them, the people answered the king, saying,
“What portion do we have in David?
We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse;

To your tents, O Israel!

Now look after your own house, David!”
So Israel departed to their tents.

Why are the nations in an uproar
And the peoples devising a vain thing?

Who have said, “With our tongue we will prevail;
Our lips are our own; who is lord over us?”

“O generation, heed the word of the Lord.
Have I been a wilderness to Israel,
Or a land of thick darkness?
Why do My people say, ‘We are free to roam;
We will no longer come to You’?

But his citizens hated him and sent a delegation after him, saying, ‘We do not want this man to reign over us.’

Every

person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.

Submit yourselves for the Lord’s sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority,

Selfwilled

“Let my soul not enter into their council;
Let not my glory be united with their assembly;
Because in their anger they slew men,
And in their self-will they lamed oxen.

For the

overseer must be above reproach as God’s steward, not self-willed, not quick-tempered, not addicted to wine, not pugnacious, not fond of sordid gain,

To speak

“You shall not

curse God, nor curse a ruler of your people.

folly is set in many exalted places while rich men sit in humble places.

And Paul said, “I was not aware, brethren, that he was high priest; for it is written, ‘You shall not speak evil of a ruler of your people.’”

Yet in the same way these men, also by dreaming, defile the flesh, and reject authority, and revile angelic majesties.
