¹ Forasmuch then as Christ suffered in the flesh, arm ye yourselves also with the same mind; for he that hath suffered in the flesh hath ceased from sin;

¹⁸ Because Christ also suffered for sins once, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God; being put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit;

²⁴ And they that are of Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts thereof.

¹¹ Even so reckon ye also yourselves to be dead unto sin, but alive unto God in Christ Jesus.

¹³ Wherefore take up the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and, having done all, to stand.

¹² The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light.

¹³ Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy.

¹⁴ But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to `fulfil' the lusts `thereof'.

⁷ for he that hath died is justified from sin.

² God forbid. We who died to sin, how shall we any longer live therein?

¹⁶ Wash you, make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil;

³ For consider him that hath endured such gainsaying of sinners against himself, that ye wax not weary, fainting in your souls.

¹⁰ For he that is entered into his rest hath himself also rested from his works, as God did from his.

³ For ye died, and your life is hid with Christ in God.

⁴ When Christ, `who is' our life, shall be manifested, then shall ye also with him be manifested in glory.

⁵ Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;

⁵ Have this mind in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

²⁰ I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that `life' which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, `the faith' which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.

⁴¹ And they shall burn thy houses with fire, and execute judgments upon thee in the sight of many women; and I will cause thee to cease from playing the harlot, and thou shalt also give no hire any more.
