That

Therefore there is now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

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

Marriage is honourable in all men, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

In the

Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness in the desires of their hearts, to dishonour their bodies among themselves;

Know ye not, that the unjust shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor the effeminate,

Who being past feeling, have given themselves up to lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.

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

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth, fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

For God hath not called us to uncleanness, but to holiness.

For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were of old described before with regard to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

Despise

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

Let every soul be subject to the supreme powers, for there is no power but from God; the powers that be, are appointed by God.

Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, whether it be to the king as supreme, Or to governors,

Selfwilled

For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not self-willed, not passionate, not given to wine, no striker, not desirous of filthy gain:

To speak

Then said Paul, I was not aware, brethren, that it was the high priest; for it is written, Thou shalt not revile the ruler of thy people.

In like manner these dreamers also defile the flesh, despise authority, rail at dignities.
