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

²⁷ For all those of you who were given baptism into Christ did put on Christ.

²⁴ And put on the new man, to which God has given life, in righteousness and a true and holy way of living.

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

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;

¹² So then, my brothers, we are in debt, not to the flesh to be living in the way of the flesh:

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.

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;

⁶ Because of which the wrath of God comes on those who go against his orders;

⁷ Among whom you were living in the past, when you did such things.

⁸ But now it is right for you to put away all these things; wrath, passion, bad feeling, curses, unclean talk;

¹⁰ And have put on the new man, which has become new in knowledge after the image of his maker;

¹¹ Where there is no Greek or Jew, no one with circumcision or without circumcision, no division between nations, no servant or free man: but Christ is all and in all.

¹² As saints of God, then, holy and dearly loved, let your behaviour be marked by pity and mercy, kind feeling, a low opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, and a power of undergoing all things;

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.

¹⁵ Have no love for the world or for the things which are in the world. If any man has love for the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

¹⁶ Because everything in the world, the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father but of the world.

¹⁷ And the world and its desires is coming to an end: but he who does God's pleasure is living for ever.

¹⁴ I put on righteousness as my clothing, and was full of it; right decisions were to me a robe and a head-dress.
