For 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: |
For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles – when we walked in licentiousness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries. |
For the time already past is sufficient for you to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, having pursued a course of sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousals, drinking parties and abominable idolatries. |
|
For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do – living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry. |
For the time that is past already suffices for doing what the Gentiles like to do – living [as you have done] in shameless, insolent wantonness, in lustful desires, drunkenness, reveling, drinking bouts and abominable, lawless idolatries. |
For adequate has been the time that is now past and done with for you to have carried to its ultimate conclusion the counsel of the pagans [the unsaved], conducting yourselves as you have one in disgusting sensualities, in cravings, in wine-guzzlings, in carousals, in drinking bouts, and in unlawful idolatrioes, |
|
Your past life may have been good enough for pagan purposes, though it meant sensuality, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousals and worshipping forbidden gods. |
For the time that is past is enough for you to have accomplished what the heathen like to do, leading lives that are steeped in sensuality, lustful desires, drunkenness, carousing, revelry, dissipation, and idolatry that leads to lawlessness. |
For 1063 the time 5550 past 3928 of our life 979 may suffice 713 us 2254 to have wrought 2716 the 3588 will 2307 of the 3588 Gentiles, 1484 when we walked 4198 in 1722 lasciviousness, 766 lusts, 1939 excess of wine, 3632 revellings, 2970 banquetings, 4224 and 2532 abominable 111 idolatries: 1495 |
