1 Peter 4:3 Cross References - Anderson

³ For the time past of our life should be enough for us to have worked the will of the Gentiles, while we walked in licentiousness, lusts, drunkenness, revelings, drinkings, and unlawful idolatries.

²² thefts, schemes for extortion, wicked deeds, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, calumny, haughtiness, impiety.

³⁰ Yet the times of this ignorance God overlooked; but now, he commands all men everywhere to repent:

²⁰ (for, since the creation of the world, his attributes, which are invisible, are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, both his eternal power and divinity,) that they may be without excuse; ²¹ because, when they knew God, they did not glorify him as God, nor were they thankful; but they became perverse in their reasonings, and their wicked heart was darkened; ²² professing to be wise, they became foolish, ²³ and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image like corruptible man, and birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things. ²⁴ For which reason God delivered them up, in the desires of their hearts, to uncleanness, that they might dishonor their bodies among themselves; ²⁵ who exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. ²⁶ For this reason, God delivered them over to vile passions: for their females exchanged their natural use for that which is against nature: ²⁷ and in like manner also the males, leaving the natural use of the females, burned in their lusts one toward another, males with males practicing infamous lewdness, and receiving in them selves the due reward of their error. ²⁸ And as they refused to acknowledge God, God delivered them up to an undiscerning mind, to do detestable things; ²⁹ as they were filled with all unrighteousness, lewdness, wickedness, covetousness, malice; full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity; ³⁰ whisperers, evil-speakers, haters of God, insolent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents; ³¹ without understanding, covenant-breakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful; ³² who, acknowledging the judgment of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do them, but approve those who practice them.

¹² Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh; ¹³ for if you live according to the flesh, you shall die: but if, through the Spirit, you put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live.

¹³ Let us walk in a becoming manner, as in the day; not in riotings and in drunkenness, not in lewdness and in wantonness, not in. contention and in envy:

¹¹ And such were some of you: but you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

² You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to those dumb idols, as you might be led.

²¹ lest, when I come again, my God will humble me among you, and I shall mourn over many of those who have already sinned, and have not repented of the uncleanness and lewdness and wantonness which they have committed.

¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are well known, and they are these lewdness, uncleanness, wantonness,

²¹ envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like; with respect to which, I tell you now, as I also told you in times past, that those who practice such things shall riot inherit the kingdom of God.

² in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is actively at work in the sons of disobedience: ³ among whom also we all formerly lived in the desires of our flesh, doing the will of the flesh and of the feelings, and were by nature children of wrath, even as others:

¹⁷ This I say, therefore, and appeal to you solemnly in the Lord, that you no longer walk as the other Gentiles walk, in the error of their minds, ¹⁸ darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart; ¹⁹ who, being past feeling, have given themselves up to licentiousness, that they may work all manner of uncleanness with greediness.

¹⁸ And be not drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit;

⁵ not in passionate desire, as the Gentiles do, who know not God;

³ For we ourselves also were formerly foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various desires and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one an other.

¹⁴ as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the desires which you formerly had in your ignorance;

⁴ For some men have stealthily entered in, who were long ago appointed to this condemnation; ungodly men, who pervert the grace of our God, and use it for lascivious purposes, and deny our only Sovereign and Lord, Jesus Christ.

⁴ And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold, and precious stones, and pearls; and she had in her hand a golden cup full of idolatrous pollutions, and the impurities of her lewdness. ⁵ And on her forehead was a name written: MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS, AND OF THE IDOLATROUS POLLUTIONS OF THE EARTH.
