¹² For the things which are done by them in secret it is shame even to put into words.

³ Because for long enough, in times past, we have been living after the way of the Gentiles, given up to the desires of the flesh, to drinking and feasting and loose behaviour and unclean worship of images;

³ But evil acts of the flesh and all unclean things, or desire for others' property, let it not even be named among you, as is right for saints;

¹⁶ In the day when God will be a judge of the secrets of men, as it says in the good news of which I am a preacher, through Jesus Christ.

¹² And I saw the dead, great and small, taking their places before the high seat; and the books were open, and another book was open, which is the book of life; and the dead were judged by the things which were in the books, even by their works.

²⁴ For this reason God gave them up to the evil desires of their hearts, working shame in their bodies with one another:

²⁵ Because by them the true word of God was changed into that which is false, and they gave worship and honour to the thing which is made, and not to him who made it, to whom be blessing for ever. So be it.

²⁶ For this reason God gave them up to evil passions, and their women were changing the natural use into one which is unnatural:

²⁷ And in the same way the men gave up the natural use of the woman and were burning in their desire for one another, men doing shame with men, and getting in their bodies the right reward of their evil-doing.

¹ At that time, when thousands of the people had come together, in such numbers that they were crushing one another, he said first to his disciples, Have nothing to do with the leaven of the Pharisees, which is deceit.

² But nothing is covered up, which will not come to light, or secret, which will not be made clear.

²⁴ In what secret place may a man take cover without my seeing him? says the Lord. Is there any place in heaven or earth where I am not? says the Lord.

¹⁴ God will be judge of every work, with every secret thing, good or evil.

¹⁷ Drink taken without right is sweet, and food in secret is pleasing.

¹² You did it secretly; but I will do this thing before all Israel and in the light of the sun.
