That

There is therefore now no condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit.

For though we are in the flesh, we do not carry on our war according to the flesh:

Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed is not defiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge.

In the

Wherefore God also gave them up to impurity, in the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies among themselves;

What! 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, nor sodomites,

who, being past feeling, have given themselves up to lasciviousness, to commit all uncleanness with greediness.

For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, (who is an idolater,) hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.

Mortify therefore your members that are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, disorderly passion, evil concupiscence, and insatiable desire, which is indeed idolatry:

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

For there have crept in some men, who have been of old described as under this condemnation, impious people, that turn the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and deny God the only Lord, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Be subject therefore to every human form of government, for the Lord's sake: whether it be to a king as supreme;

Selfwilled

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

To speak

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

So these vile dreamers also defile the flesh, despise authority, and speak evil of dignities.
