⁴ that each one of you know how to possess himself of his own vessel in sanctification and honor,

⁵ not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who know not God;

⁶ that no man transgress, and wrong his brother in the matter: because the Lord is an avenger in all these things, as also we forewarned you and testified.

¹¹ Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lust, which war against the soul;

⁵ Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;

²⁴ And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof.

³¹ Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

³ For the time will come when they will not endure the sound doctrine; but, having itching ears, will heap to themselves teachers after their own lusts;

⁴ and will turn away their ears from the truth, and turn aside unto fables.

⁵ But be thou sober in all things, suffer hardship, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry.

²⁶ For this cause God gave them up unto vile passions: for their women changed the natural use into that which is against nature:

²⁷ and likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another, men with men working unseemliness, and receiving in themselves that recompense of their error which was due.

²⁸ And even as they refused to have God in `their' knowledge, God gave them up unto a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not fitting;

⁹ But if they have not continency, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

³ Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may spend `it' in your pleasures.
