"Therefore the showershave been withheld,And there has beennospringrain.Yet you hada harlot'sforehead;You refusedto be ashamed.
For afterI turnedback,I repented;And afterI was instructed,I smoteon [my] thigh;I was ashamedand alsohumiliatedBecauseI borethe reproachof my youth.'
"Were they ashamedbecauseof the abominationthey had done?They certainlywere not ashamed,And they did not knowhow to blush;Thereforethey shall fallamong those who fall;At the timeof their punishmentthey shall be broughtdown,"Saysthe LORD.
"Ifthey are ashamedof allthat they have done,makeknownto them the designof the house,its structure,its exits,its entrances,allits designs,allits statutes, and allits laws.And write[it] in their sight,so that they may observeits wholedesignand allits statutesand dothem.

Do you not knowthat whenyou presentyourselvesto someone[as] slavesfor obedience,you are slavesof the one whomyou obey,eitherof sinresultingin death,orof obedienceresultingin righteousness?
For the wagesof sinis death,but the free giftof Godis eternallifein ChristJesusour Lord.
For whilewe were in the flesh,the sinfulpassions,which were [aroused] by the Law,were at workin the membersof our body to bear fruitfor death.
for ifyou are livingaccordingto the flesh,you mustdie;but ifby the Spirityou are putting to deaththe deedsof the body,you will live.
