⁹ Know you not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God? Do not err: Neither fornicators nor idolaters nor adulterers: ¹⁰ Nor the effeminate nor liers with mankind nor thieves nor covetous nor drunkards nor railers nor extortioners shall possess the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And such some of you were. But you are washed: but you are sanctified: but you are justified: in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and the Spirit of our God.

⁴ But you, brethren, are not in darkness, that the day should overtake you as a thief. ⁵ For all you are the children of light and children of the day: we are not of the night nor of darkness. ⁶ Therefore, let us not sleep, as others do: but let us watch, and be sober. ⁷ For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that are drunk, are drunk in the night. ⁸ But let us, who are of the day, be sober, having on the breast plate of faith and charity and, for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

¹ Now him that is weak in faith, take unto you: not in disputes about thoughts. ² For one believeth that he may eat all things: but he that is weak, let him eat herbs. ³ Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not: and he that eateth not, let him not judge him that eateth. For God hath taken him to him. ⁴ Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? To his own lord he standeth or falleth. And he shall stand: for God is able to make him stand. ⁵ For one judgeth between day and day: and another judgeth every day. Let every man abound in his own sense. ⁶ He that regardeth the day regardeth it unto the Lord. And he that eateth eateth to the Lord: for he giveth thanks to God. And he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not and giveth thanks to God. ⁷ For none of us liveth to himself: and no man dieth to himself. ⁸ For whether we live, we live unto the Lord: or whether we die, we die unto the Lord.

Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. ¹⁶ Let not then our good be evil spoken of. ¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink: but justice and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. ¹⁸ For he that in this serveth Christ pleaseth God and is approved of men. ¹⁹ Therefore, let us follow after the things that are of peace and keep the things that are of edification, one towards another. ²⁰ Destroy not the work of God for meat.

For all that is not of faith is sin.

⁷ Casting all your care upon him, for he hath care of you.

⁵ But be thou vigilant, labour in all things, do the work of an evangelist, fulfil thy ministry. Be sober.

⁵ For this cause I left thee in Crete: that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting and shouldest ordain priests in every city, as I also appointed thee: ⁶ If any be without crime, the husband of one wife. having faithful children, not accused of riot or unruly. ⁷ For a bishop must be without crime, as the steward of God: not proud, not subject to anger, nor given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre: ⁸ But given to hospitality, gentle, sober, just, holy, continent: ⁹ Embracing that faithful word which is according to doctrine, that he may be able to exhort in sound doctrine and to convince the gainsayers.

⁴ Whosoever committeth sin committeth also iniquity. And sin is iniquity. ⁵ And you know that he appeared to take away our sins: and in him there is no sin. ⁶ Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: and whosoever sinneth hath not seen him nor known him. ⁷ Little children, let no man deceive you. He that doth justice is just, even as he is just. ⁸ He that committeth sin is of the devil: for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God appeared, that he might destroy the works of the devil. ⁹ Whosoever is born of God committeth not sin: for his seed abideth in him. And he cannot sin, because he is born of God. ¹⁰ In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil. Whosoever is not just is not of God, or he that loveth not his brother.

¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, wherein is luxury: but be ye filled with the Holy Spirit, ¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are manifest: which are fornication, uncleanness, immodesty, luxury, ²⁰ Idolatry, witchcrafts, enmities, contentions, emulations, wraths, quarrels, dissensions, sects, ²¹ Envies, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like. Of the which I foretell you, as I have foretold to you, that they who do such things shall not obtain the kingdom of God. ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is, charity, joy, peace, patience, benignity, goodness, longanimity, ²³ Mildness, faith, modesty, continency, chastity. Against such there is no law. ²⁴ And they that are Christ's have crucified their flesh, with the vices and concupiscences. ²⁵ If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.

¹³ Let us walk honestly, as in the day: not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and impurities, not in contention and envy. ¹⁴ But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ: and make not provision for the flesh in its concupiscences.

¹⁹ Or know you not that your members are the temple of the Holy Ghost, who is in you, whom you have from God: and you are not your own? ²⁰ For you are bought with a great price. Glorify and bear God in your body.

¹ Christ therefore having suffered in the flesh, be you also armed with the same thought: for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sins: ² That now he may live the rest of his time in the flesh, not after the desires of men but according to the will of God. ³ For the time past is sufficient to have fulfilled the will of the Gentiles, for them who have walked in riotousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings and unlawful worshipping of idols. ⁴ Wherein they think it strange that you run not with them into the same confusion of riotousness: speaking evil of you. ⁵ Who shall render account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. ⁶ For, for this cause was the gospel preached also to the dead: That they might be judged indeed according to men, in the flesh: but may live according to God, in the Spirit.

¹ But speak thou the things that become sound doctrine: ² That the aged men be sober, chaste, prudent, sound in faith, in love, in patience. ³ The aged women, in like manner, in holy attire, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teaching well: ⁴ That they may teach the young women to be wise, to love their husbands, to love their children. ⁵ To be discreet, chaste, sober, having a care of the house, gentle, obedient to their husbands: that the word of God be not blasphemed. ⁶ Young men, in like manner, exhort that they be sober. ⁷ In all things shew thyself an example of good works, in doctrine, in integrity, in gravity, ⁸ The sound word that can not be blamed: that he who is on the contrary part may be afraid, having no evil to say of us.

²⁹ And God said: Behold I have given you every herb bearing seed upon the earth, and all trees that have in themselves seed of their own kind, to be your meat:

³ And every thing that moveth, and liveth shall be meat for you: even as the green herbs have I delivered them all to you:

⁸ Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour.
