Bible Note: Hi, Angel! being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, (Romans 1:29) and will receive the wages of unrighteousness, as those who count it pleasure to carouse in the daytime. They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you, (2 Peter 2:13) NYP was suggesting that the Bible said that anything done in excess was a sin. Although the things mentioned in those verses are certainly done in excess by the lost, even doing them in moderation would be sinful! Thank you, however, for the suggestions. In Him, Doc |
