American Standard Version of 1901
Versliste
{Or, In your sight}For you therefore that believe is the {Or, honor}preciousness: but for such as disbelieve, {Psalm 118:22.}The stone which the builders rejected,The same was made the head of the corner;
If I told you earthly things and ye believe not, how shall ye believe if I tell you heavenly things?
unto an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
in hope of eternal life, which God, who cannot lie, promised {Or, long ages ago}before times eternal;
as children of obedience, not fashioning yourselves according to your former lusts in the time of your ignorance:
Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
that {Or, he no longer…his time}ye no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
For the time past may suffice to have wrought the desire of the Gentiles, and to have walked in lasciviousness, lusts, winebibbings, revellings, carousings, and abominable idolatries:
But I am in a strait betwixt the two, having the desire to depart and be with Christ; for it is very far better:
And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer:
But we, brethren, being bereaved of you for {Greek: a season of an hour.}a short season, in presence not in heart, endeavored the more exceedingly to see your face with great desire:
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.
But I say, Walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.
And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof.
among whom we also all once lived in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the {Greek: thoughts.}mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:—
For, uttering great swelling words of vanity, they entice in the lusts of the flesh, by lasciviousness, those who are just escaping from them that live in error;
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vainglory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
but each man is {Or, tempted by his own lust, being drawn away by it, and enticed.}tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.
Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth forth death.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vainglory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
