No, put on the character of the Lord Jesus Christ, and never think how to gratify the cravings of the flesh.
putting on the new nature, that divine pattern which has been created in the upright and pious character of the Truth.
(for all of you who had yourselves baptized into Christ have taken on the character of Christ).
Beloved, as sojourners and exiles I appeal to you to abstain from the passions of the flesh that wage war upon the soul.
Now those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its emotions and passions.
they get the name of 'wisdom' with their self-imposed devotions, with their fasting, with their rigorous discipline of the body, but they are of no value, they simply pamper the flesh!
