Now the works of the flesh<n id="1" /> are obvious:<n id="2" /> sexual immorality, impurity, depravity,

Because they are callous, they have given themselves over to indecency for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness.<n id="1" />

But<n id="1" /> among you there must not be either sexual immorality, impurity of any kind,<n id="2" /> or greed, as these are not fitting for the saints.<n id="3" />

For the appeal we make<n id="1" /> does not come<n id="2" /> from error or impurity or with deceit,

For God did not call us to impurity but in holiness.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;Woe to you, experts in the law<n id="1" /> and you Pharisees, hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs that look beautiful on the outside but inside are full of the bones of the dead and of everything unclean.<n id="2" />

<p class="bodytext">Therefore God gave them over<n id="1" /> in the desires of their hearts to impurity, to dishonor<n id="2" /> their bodies among themselves.<n id="3" />

So put to death whatever in your nature belongs to the earth:<n id="1" /> sexual immorality, impurity, shameful passion,<n id="2" /> evil desire, and greed which is idolatry.

(I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh.)<n id="1" /> For just as you once presented your members as slaves to impurity and lawlessness leading to more lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness leading to sanctification.

I am afraid that<n id="1" /> when I come again, my God may humiliate me before you, and I will grieve for<n id="2" /> many of those who previously sinned and have not repented of the impurity, sexual immorality, and licentiousness that they have practiced.p>
