Straying » Who strays from the right path
But there were also false prophets among the people, as there shall also be false teachers among you, who shall bring in by stealth destructive heresies, even denying the master that bought them, bringing on themselves swift destruction; and many shall follow their lewdness, on account of whom the way of truth shall be reviled, and with covetousness they will make a gain of you with feigned words, whose judgment a long time lingers not, and their destruction slumbers not. read more.
For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but plunging them into Tartarus delivered them up in chains to be kept in darkness till the judgment, and spared not the old world, but preserved Noah a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, bringing the flood on the world of the ungodly, and condemned Sodom and Gomorrah to be overthrown, reducing them to ashes, making them an example to those who should afterwards be wicked, and delivered righteous Lot, vexed by the lewd conduct of the wicked;??8 for that righteous man living among them vexed his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their wicked deeds;??9 the Lord knows how to deliver the pious from trial, and to keep the wicked to the day of judgment to be punished, but especially those who walk after the flesh, in corrupt desires, and despise goverment. Presumptuous, self-complacent, they fear not to revile glories, where the angels who are greater in strength and power do not bring against them a reproachful judgment; but these, like irrational animals, brutes made to be taken and destroyed, reviling things which they do not understand, will also be destroyed in their depravity, receiving the wages of wickedness, accounting luxury in the day-time a pleasure, spots and blemishes, revelling in their deceptions while feasting with you, having eyes full of an adulteress, and unable to cease from sin, enticing unstable souls, having a heart exercised in covetousness, cursed children, having left the right way they have gone astray, following in the way of Balaam the son of Beor who loved the wages of wickedness, but had a rebuke of his transgression; the dumb ass, speaking with a man's voice, forbade the madness of the prophet. These are fountains without water, clouds driven by a tempest, to which is reserved the blackness of darkness. For speaking extravagant words of vanity, they entice with carnal desires of lewdness those scarcely escaped from them, those living in error, promising them liberty, when they themselves are servants of corruption; for by whatever a man is overcome, to this is he made a servant.

Marriage is honorable in all, and married life without blame; but fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
Verse Concepts
But the fearful and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and fornicators and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death.
Verse Concepts
For you know this, that no fornicator, or impure, or covetous person, who is an idolater, has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no man deceive you with vain words; for on account of these comes the wrath of God on the children of disobedience. Be not therefore partakers with them.
But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully; knowing this, that a law is not made for a righteous man, but for the wicked and disorderly, the impious and sinful, the unholy and profane, murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers and murderers of their fellow-men, fornicators, sodomites, men-stealers, liars, perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound doctrine,
I am the Alpha and the Omega, first and last, the beginning and end. Blessed are they that keep his commandments, that they may have a right to the tree of life, and enter by the gates into the city. Without are dogs and sorcerers, and fornicators, and murderers and idolaters and whoever loves and practises falsehood.

Wisdom » The lord giving wisdom
But we speak wisdom among the perfect, but not the wisdom of this life, nor of the rulers of this life, who are destroyed; but we speak a wisdom of God hid in mystery, which God appointed from eternity for our glory, which none of the rulers of this life knew, for if they had known they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; read more.
but as it is written, An eye has not seen, an ear has not heard, neither have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those that love him; but God has revealed them to us by his Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God. For who knows the [things] of man, except the spirit of man which is in him? So also no one knows the [things] of God except the Spirit of God. And we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we may know the things given us by God, which we also speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receives not the [things] of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot know them, for they are spiritually discerned. But the spiritual man discerns all things, and is himself perceived by no one. For who has known the mind of the Lord, who shall instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
