2 To the end that, no longer, in mens covetings, but in Gods will, ye may live, the still remaining time.

3 For, sufficient, is the bygone timeto have wrought out, the will of the nations, having gone on in wanton ways, covetings, wine-drinkings, revellings, drinking-bouts, and impious idolatries:

4 Wherein they are taken by surprise that ye run not with them into the same overflow of riotous excess,uttering defamation:

5 Who shall render an account unto him who is holding in readiness to judge living and dead;
