I speak

Because

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin.

For as ye

so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human lusts, but for the will of God.

Unto iniquity

Do you not know that if you yield yourselves to any one to obey as slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, whether of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?

Your boasting is not good. Do you not know that a little leaven leavens the whole lump of dough?

Do not be deceived: "Bad company corrupts good morals."

Avoid godless chatter, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness,

Now yield

Do not yield your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but yield yourselves to God as men who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.

Unto holiness

But now that you have been set free from sin and have become slaves of God, the return you get is holiness and its end, eternal life.
