I speak after the manner of men, because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity, to (work) iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness, to (work) holiness.

For he will finish the work, and cut it short in righteousness: because a short work will the Lord make upon the earth.
