There is certainly no one righteous on the earth who does good and never sins.
And do not offer any parts of it to sin as weapons for unrighteousness. But as those who are alive from the dead, offer yourselves to God, and all the parts of yourselves to God as weapons for righteousness.
I am using a human analogy because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you offered the parts of yourselves as slaves to impurity, and to greater and greater lawlessness, so now offer them as slaves to righteousness, which results in sanctification.
For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am of the flesh, sold as a slave under sin.
So I discover this law: , When I want to do what is good, evil is present with me.
Thanks be to God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I myself am serving the law of God, but with my flesh, the law of sin.
For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions aroused through the law were working in us , to bear fruit for death.
because the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.
For the flesh desires what is against the Spirit, and the Spirit desires what is against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you don’t do what you want.
In struggling against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood.
For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is mature, able also to control the whole body.
What is the source of wars and fights among you? Don’t they come from your passions that wage war within you?
Dear friends, I urge you as strangers and exiles to abstain from sinful desires that wage war against the soul.
