That

There is, therefore, now no condemnation for those who are in union with Christ Jesus;

For, though we live an earthly life, we do not wage an earthly war.

Let marriage be honoured by all and the married life be pure; for God will judge those who are immoral and those who commit adultery.

In the

Therefore God abandoned them to impurity, letting them follow the cravings of their hearts, till they dishonored their own bodies;

Do not you know that wrong-doers will have no share in God's Kingdom? Do not be deceived. No one who is immoral, or an idolater, or an adulterer, or licentious, or a sodomite,

Lost to all sense of shame, they have abandoned themselves to licentiousness, in order to practice every kind of impurity without restraint.

For of this you may be sure--that no one who is unchaste or impure or greedy of gain (for to be greedy of gain is idolatry) has any place awaiting him in the kingdom of the Christ and God.

Therefore destroy all that is earthly in you--immorality, uncleanness, passions, evil desires, and that greed which is idolatry.

For God's Call to us does not permit of an impure life, but demands purity.

For there have crept in among you certain godless people, whose sentence has long since been pronounced, and who make the mercy of God an excuse for profligacy, and disown our only lord and master, Jesus Christ.

Despise

But his subjects hated him and sent envoys after him to say 'We will not have this man as our King.'

Let every one obey the supreme Authorities. For no Authority exists except by the will of God, and the existing Authorities have been appointed by God.

Submit to all human institutions for the Lord's sake, alike to the emperor as the supreme authority,

Selfwilled

For a Presiding-Officer, as God's steward, ought to be a man of irreproachable character; not self-willed or quick-tempered, nor addicted to drink or to brawling or to questionable money-making.

To speak

"I did not know, Brothers, that it was the High Priest," said Paul, "for Scripture says--'Of the Ruler of thy People thou shalt speak no ill'."

Yet in the very same way these men, too, cherishing vain dreams, pollute our human nature, reject control, and malign the Mighty.
