poured into clean vessels, with
renewed minds and restored hearts
that desires God's presence.
 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
[9]Don’t you realize that those who do wrong
will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don’t fool
yourselves. Those who indulge in sexual sin, or
who worship idols, or commit adultery, or are
male prostitutes, or practice homosexuality,
[10]or are thieves, or greedy people, or
drunkards, or are abusive, or cheat people—
none of these will inherit the Kingdom of God.
[11]Some of you were once like that. But you
were cleansed; you were made holy; you were
made right with God by calling on the name of
the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our
God.

Instead, give yourselves completely to

new life. So use your whole body as an
instrument to do what is right for the glory
