Sins are enumerated (1 Corinthians 6:9, 10).

The works of the flesh are enumerated (Galatians 5:19-21; 1 Timothy 1:9, 10).

Ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God (Colossians 3:3).

That they were to put off all things unclean, and the old man, and put on the new (Colossians 3:5-10, 12).

Avarice is the root of all evils (1 Timothy 6:9-10).

They profess to know God, but deny Him by works (Titus 1:16).

Repentance from dead works (Hebrews 6:1; 9:14).

To judge the living and the dead (1 Peter 4:5-6).

Watch: because the devil as a roaring lion goeth about (1 Peter 5:8).

That he is dead; and that the things about to die should be strengthened (Revelation 3:1-2).
