¹ So that as Jesus was put to death in the flesh, do you yourselves be of the same mind; for the death of the flesh puts an end to sin;

¹⁸ Because Christ once went through pain for sins, the upright one taking the place of sinners, so that through him we might come back to God; being put to death in the flesh, but given life in the Spirit;

²⁴ And those who are Christ's have put to death on the cross the flesh with its passions and its evil desires.

¹¹ Even so see yourselves as dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus.

¹³ For this reason take up all the arms of God, so that you may be able to be strong in the evil day, and, having done all, to keep your place.

¹² The night is far gone, and the day is near: so let us put off the works of the dark, arming ourselves with light,

¹³ With right behaviour as in the day; not in pleasure-making and drinking, not in bad company and unclean behaviour, not in fighting and envy.

¹⁴ But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not give thought to the flesh to do its desires.

⁷ Because he who is dead is free from sin.

² In no way. How may we, who are dead to sin, be living in it any longer?

¹⁶ Be washed, make yourselves clean; put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes; let there be an end of sinning;

³ Give thought to him who has undergone so much of the hate of sinners against himself, so that you may not be tired and feeble of purpose.

¹⁰ For the man who comes into his rest has had rest from his works, as God did from his.

³ For your life on earth is done, and you have a secret life with Christ in God.

⁴ At the coming of Christ who is our life, you will be seen with him in glory.

⁵ Then put to death your bodies which are of the earth; wrong use of the flesh, unclean things, passion, evil desires and envy, which is the worship of strange gods;

⁵ Let this mind be in you which was in Christ Jesus,

²⁰ I have been put to death on the cross with Christ; still I am living; no longer I, but Christ is living in me; and that life which I now am living in the flesh I am living by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who in love for me, gave himself up for me.

⁴¹ And they will have you burned with fire, sending punishments on you before the eyes of great numbers of women; and I will put an end to your loose ways, and you will no longer give payment.
