Mortify therefore — Put to death, slay with a continued stroke. Your members — Which together make up the body of sin. Which are upon the earth — Where they find their nourishment. Uncleanness — In act, word, or thought. Inordinate affection — Every passion which does not flow from and lead to the love of God. Evil desire — The desire of the flesh, the desire of the eye, and the pride of life. Covetousness — According to the derivation of the word, means the desire of having more, or of any thing independent on God. Which is idolatry — Properly and directly; for it is giving the heart to a creature.
