Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.
I put on righteousness as my clothing; justice was my robe and my turban.
for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Such regulations indeed have an appearance of wisdom, with their self-imposed worship, their false humility and their harsh treatment of the body, but they lack any value in restraining sensual indulgence.
Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.
