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

⁶ Being conscious that our old man was put to death on the cross with him, so that the body of sin might be put away, and we might no longer be servants to sin.

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

¹³ For if you go in the way of the flesh, death will come on you; but if by the Spirit you put to death the works of the body, you will have life.

¹¹ My loved ones, I make this request with all my heart, that, as those for whom this world is a strange country, you will keep yourselves from the desires of the flesh which make war against the soul;

¹⁴ But far be it from me to have glory in anything, but only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which this world has come to an end on the cross for me, and I for it.

²⁰ Worship of images, use of strange powers, hates, fighting, desire for what another has, angry feelings, attempts to get the better of others, divisions, false teachings,

¹⁶ But I say, Go on in the Spirit, and you will not come under the rule of the evil desires of the flesh.

¹⁷ For the flesh has desires against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; because these are opposite the one to the other; so that you may not do the things which you have a mind to do.

¹⁸ But if you are guided by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

²⁹ And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's seed, and yours is the heritage by the right of God's undertaking given to Abraham.

⁷ Give attention to the things which are before you. If any man seems to himself to be Christ's, let him keep in mind that we are as much Christ's as he is.

²³ But every man in his right order: Christ the first-fruits; then those who are Christ's at his coming.

²³ And you are Christ's; and Christ is God's.

⁹ You are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God is in you. But if any man has not the Spirit of Christ he is not one of his.
