For if ye live according to the flesh, ye shall die: and if by the Spirit ye kill the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
For he sowing to his flesh of the flesh shall reap corruption; but he sowing to the Spirit, of the Spirit shall reap eternal life.
Dearly beloved, I beseech as sojourners and strangers, to keep off from fleshly passions, which war against the soul;
But I give my body a blow under the eyes, and reduce to bondage: lest having proclaimed to others, I myself be rejected.
Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and eager worldly desires, we should live discreetly, and justly, and religiously, in the time now;
And they of Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and desires.
For you to put away according to the former mode of life the old man, corrupted according to the eager desires of deceit;
Having purified your souls in the hearing of the truth by the Spirit to unfeigned brotherly love, out of pure hearts love ye one another cordially:
For when we were in the flesh the passions of sins, those by the law, were energetic in our members to bring forth fruit to death.
And be not drunk with wine, in which is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit;
Therefore what fruit had ye then of what ye are now ashamed? for the end of these, death.
And grieve ye not the Holy Spirit of God in which ye were sealed to the day of redemption.
For the purchasing the provisions of sin, death; and the grace of God, life eternal in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Therefore, brethren, we are not debtors to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
He will spare over it, and forsake it not, and keep it back in the midst of his palate:
