Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate men, nor homosexuals, ¹⁰ nor greedy men, nor thieves, nor drunkards, nor the slanderous, nor the predatory will inherit the kingdom of God. ¹¹ And some of you were these things, but ye were washed, but ye were sanctified, but ye were made righteous in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

⁴ But ye, brothers, are not in darkness, so that the day would seize you as a thief. ⁵ Ye are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. ⁶ So then let us not sleep, as also the others, but let us watch and be sober. ⁷ For those who sleep, sleep at night, and those who are intoxicated get drunk at night. ⁸ But we, being of the day, should be sober, putting on a breastplate of faith and love, and a helmet, the hope of salvation.

⁵ I left thee behind in Crete on account of this: That thou should set in order the things lacking, and appoint elders in every city as I commanded thee, ⁶ if any man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having believing children, not with an accusation of debauchery or insubordinate. ⁷ For the overseer must be blameless as a steward of God, not self-willed, not prone to anger, not a drunkard, not a fighter, not greedy of base gain, ⁸ but a lover of strangers, a lover of good, serious minded, just, devout, self-controlled, ⁹ holding firm the faithful word according to the teaching, so that he may also be able to exhort by the sound doctrine, and to correct those who contradict.

¹ But the man who is weak in the faith, do not receive for arguments of opinions. ² One man has faith to eat all things, but he who is weak eats vegetables. ³ The man who eats should not disdain the man who does not eat, and the man who does not eat should not criticize the man who eats, for God has received him. ⁴ Who are thou who criticizes the servant of another? To his own lord he stands or falls. And he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him stand. ⁵ One man prefers one day above another, another man prefers every day. Let each man be fully persuaded in his own mind. ⁶ He who regards the day, regards it for the Lord. And he who does not regard the day, for the Lord he does not regard it. And he who eats, eats for the Lord, for he expresses thanks to God. And he who does not eat, for the Lord he does not eat, and expresses thanks to God. ⁷ For none of us lives to himself, and no man dies to himself. ⁸ For both if we live, we live for the Lord, and if we die, we die for the Lord. Both if we live and if we die, therefore, we are the Lord's. ⁹ For because of this Christ both died and arose, and he became alive so that he might be Lord over both the dead and the living. ¹⁰ But why do thou criticize thy brother? Or also why do thou disdain thy brother? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of Christ. ¹¹ For it is written, I live, says the Lord, that every knee will bow to me, and every tongue will confess to God. ¹² So then each of us will give account about himself to God. ¹³ Let us not therefore criticize each other any more, but judge ye this instead, not to place a stumbling block to the brother, or a snare. ¹⁴ I know and am persuaded in the Lord Jesus, that nothing is profane by itself, except to him who regards anything to be profane. To that man it is profane. ¹⁵ For if thy brother is distressed because of food, thou no longer walk according to love. Do not destroy with thy food that man for whom Christ died. ¹⁶ Therefore do not let your good be maligned. ¹⁷ For the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. ¹⁸ For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God, and approved by men. ¹⁹ So then we should pursue the things of peace, and the things of constructiveness for each other. ²⁰ Do not tear down the work of God because of food. All things indeed are clean, but it is wrong to the man who eats through hindrance. ²¹ It is good not to eat meats, nor to drink wine, nor in whatever thy brother stumbles against, or is caused to stumble, or becomes weak. ²² The faith thou have, have in relation to thyself before God. Blessed is the man not condemning himself in what he allows. ²³ But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because it is not from faith, and everything that is not from faith is sin.

¹³ Therefore having girded up the loins of your mind, being sober, hope entirely for the grace brought to you at the revealing of Jesus Christ. ¹⁴ As children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves to the former desires in your ignorance, ¹⁵ but according to the Holy Man, he who called you, ye yourselves also become holy in all conduct, ¹⁶ because it is written, Become ye holy, since I am holy.

⁴ Every man doing sin also does lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. ⁵ And ye know that that man was made known so that he might take up our sins. And in him is no sin. ⁶ Every man abiding in him does not sin. Every man who is sinning has not seen him, nor has known him. ⁷ Little children, let no man lead you astray. He who is doing righteousness is righteous, just as that man is righteous. ⁸ He who is doing sin is of the devil, because the devil sinned from the beginning. The Son of God was made known for this, so that he might destroy the works of the devil. ⁹ Every man who has been begotten of God is not doing sin, because his seed abides in him, and he cannot sin, because he has been begotten of God. ¹⁰ By this the children of God are visible, and the children of the devil. Every man not doing righteousness is not of God, and he who is not loving his brother.

¹⁸ And do not become intoxicated with wine, during which is debauchery, but be filled in Spirit, ¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are apparent, which are, adultery, fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness, ²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, hatreds, strifes, jealousies, wraths, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, ²¹ envyings, murders, intoxications, revelings, and things like these, of which I forewarn you, as I also did forewarn, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. ²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, ²³ meekness, self-control. Against such things there is no law. ²⁴ And those of the Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and the lusts. ²⁵ If we live in Spirit, we should also march in Spirit.

¹³ Let us walk decently as in the day, not in revelry and drunkenness, not in beddings and wantonness, not in strife and envy. ¹⁴ But clothe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no forethought for lusts of the flesh.

¹⁹ Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit in you, which ye have from God? And ye are not your own, ²⁰ for ye were bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and your spirit, which is of God.

¹ But speak thou the things that are fitting for the sound doctrine. ² Aged men are to be sober, noble, serious minded, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance. ³ Aged women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderous, not enslaved to much wine, teachers of what is good, ⁴ so that they may admonish the young women to be sensible, to love their husbands, to love their children, ⁵ to be serious-minded, pure, homemakers, good, submissive to their own husbands, so that the word of God may not be blasphemed. ⁶ Likewise exhort the younger men to be sober-minded. ⁷ Concerning all things presenting thyself a pattern of good works in the doctrine: incorruption, dignity, incorruptibility, ⁸ sound speech, irreproachable, so that the man of opposition may be ashamed, having nothing bad to say about us.

¹ Therefore of Christ having suffered in flesh for us, arm ye yourselves also with the same mentality, because he who has suffered in flesh has ceased from sin, ² in order to live the remaining time in flesh, no longer by lusts of men, but by the will of God. ³ For enough time of life has past for you to accomplish the will of the Gentiles, having gone in debaucheries, lusts, excesses of wine, revelings, drinking parties, and lawless idolatries. ⁴ During which they think it strange of you not running together into the same pouring out of debauchery, while they slander. ⁵ Men who will give back an accounting to him who fares readily to judge the living and the dead. ⁶ For good news was preached even to the dead for this, so that they might indeed be judged according to men in flesh, but live according to God in spirit.
