Lovers

treacherous, reckless, conceited, caring more for pleasure than for God,

It is the duty of us who are strong to put up with the weaknesses of those who are immature, and not just suit ourselves.

and he died for all that those who live might no longer live for themselves, but for him who died for them and rose again.

For they are all looking out for their own interests, not for those of Jesus Christ.

If you really obey the supreme law where the Scripture says, "You must love your neighbor as you do yourself," you are doing right,

Covetous

And he said to them, "Take care! You must be on your guard against any form of greed, for a man's life does not belong to him, no matter how rich he is."

They revel in every kind of wrongdoing, wickedness, greed, and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, quarreling, deceit, and ill-nature.

So treat as dead your physical nature, as far as immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed are concerned; for it is really idolatry.

In their greed they will exploit you with pretended arguments. From of old their condemnation has not been idle, and their destruction has not slumbered.

Alas for them, for they follow Cain's path, they plunge into Balaam's error for gain, and they perish in rebelliousness like Korah's.

Boasters

But, as it is, you pride yourselves on your pretensions. All such pride is wrong.

They utter arrogant nonsense and use physical cravings to lure into immorality men who are just escaping from among those who live in error;

These men are grumblers, dissatisfied with life. They go where their passions lead, their talk is arrogant and they cultivate people in the hope of gain.

Proud

is a conceited, ignorant person, with a morbid craving for speculations and arguments which result only in envy, quarreling, abuse, base suspicions,

But he gives all the greater blessing. As the Scripture says, "God opposes haughty persons, but he blesses humble-minded ones."

You younger men must show deference to the elders. And you must all clothe yourselves in humility toward one another, for God opposes the proud, but shows mercy to the humble.

Blasphemers

like Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I turned over to Satan, to be taught not to blaspheme.

These men, like unreasoning animals, mere creatures of instinct created to be caught and killed, abuse what they do not understand and will be destroyed like animals,

But these people deride anything they do not understand, and the things they know by instinct, like unreasoning animals, they use for their own destruction.

Then I stood on the sand of the seashore, and I saw an animal come up out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads, and with ten diadems on its horns, and blasphemous titles on its heads.

and they were dreadfully scorched, but they reviled the name of God who had control of these plagues, and would not repent and give him glory.

Disobedient

But you say, 'If a man says to his father or mother, "Anything of mine that might have been of use to you is Korban," ' that is, consecrated to God,

They are gossips, slanderers, abhorrent to God, insolent, overbearing, boastful, ingenious in evil, undutiful,
