but abandoned their own place of residence, he has kept
in eternal chains

since they indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire
in a way similar to

are now displayed as an example by suffering the punishment of eternal fire.

1:4 For certain men
have secretly slipped in among you
– men who long ago

for the condemnation I am about to describe
– ungodly men who have turned the grace of our God into a license for evil
and who deny our only Master
and Lord,
Jesus Christ.

Romans 7:14-21
7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual – but I am unspiritual, sold into slavery to sin.
7:15 For I don’t understand what I am doing. For I do not do what I want – instead, I do what I hate.
7:16 But if I do what I don’t want, I agree that the law is good.
7:17 But now it is no longer me doing it, but sin that lives in me.
7:18 For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For I want to do the good, but I cannot do it.
7:19 For I do not do the good I want, but I do the very evil I do not want!
7:20 Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer me doing it but sin that lives in me.
7:21 So, I find the law that when I want to do good, evil is present with me.
