 19Who being past feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all uncleanness with greediness.
 20But ye have not so learned Christ;
 21If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus:
 22That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts;
 23And be renewed in the spirit of your mind;
 24And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness.

 6Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience.
 7Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
 8For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light:
 9(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
 10Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
 11And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.
 12For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.
 13But all things that are reproved are made manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make manifest is light.
 14Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light.
 15See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise,
 16Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
 17Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
 18And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;

 21Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
 22Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
 23For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
 24Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
 25Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; (Eph. 5:1‑25)
;
Eph. 6:1‑9• 1Children, obey your parents in the Lord: for this is right.
 2Honor thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;)

 4And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.
 5Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;
 6Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;
 7With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:
 8Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man doeth, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free.

 4That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,
 5To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
 6Young men likewise exhort to be sober minded.
 7In all things showing thyself a pattern of good works: in doctrine showing uncorruptness, gravity, sincerity,
 8Sound speech, that cannot be condemned; that he that is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say of you.
 9Exhort servants to be obedient unto their own masters, and to please them well in all things; not answering again;
 10Not purloining, but showing all good fidelity; that they may adorn the doctrine of God our Saviour in all things.
 11For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
 12Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
 13Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; (Titus 2:2‑13)
;
1 Peter 1:14‑16• 14As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance:
 15But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation;
 16Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. (1 Peter 1:14‑16)
;
1 Peter 2:9‑12• 9But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:
 10Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.
 11Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
 12Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. (1 Peter 2:9‑12)
;
1 Peter 4:2‑5• 2That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
 3For the time past of our life may suffice us to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excess of wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable idolatries:
 4Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them to the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you:
 5Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the quick and the dead. (1 Peter 4:2‑5)
;
2 Peter 1:5‑8• 5And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
 6And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
 7And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
 8For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. (2 Peter 1:5‑8)
• Hence his burning zeal in reporting to all near or far off that they should repent and turn to God, doing works worthy of repentance. (“Acts 26:16-23” by W. Kelly)
