And he said to all, “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.
for if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live.
Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: fornication, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
Indeed all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted,
training us to renounce irreligion and worldly passions, and to live sober, upright, and godly lives in this world,
Therefore let us go forth to him outside the camp, and bear the abuse he endured.
