Instead, put on the Lord Messiah Yeshua, and stop making provision for the flesh—for its cravings.
I put on righteousness as my clothing; justice was as my robe and turban.
For all of you who were immersed in Messiah have clothed yourselves with Messiah.
Now those who belong to Messiah have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
and put on the new self—created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.
Indeed, these are matters that have an appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and humility and self-denial of the body—yet none are of any value for stopping indulgence of the flesh.
Loved ones, I urge you as strangers and sojourners to keep away from the fleshly cravings that war against the soul.
