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.

²² That you are to put away, in relation to your earlier way of life, the old man, which has become evil by love of deceit;

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.

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

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.

³⁴ And this was the answer Jesus gave them: Truly I say to you, Everyone who does evil is the servant of sin.

³⁵ Now the servant does not go on living in the house for ever, but the son does.

³⁶ If then the son makes you free, you will be truly free.

⁹ Do not make false statements to one another; because you have put away the old man with all his doings,

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

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;

²⁴ How unhappy am I! who will make me free from the body of this death?

²⁵ I give praise to God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So with my mind I am a servant to the law of God, but with my flesh to the law of sin.

²² But now, being free from sin, and having been made servants to God, you have your fruit in that which is holy, and the end is eternal life.

¹¹ In whom you had a circumcision not made with hands, in the putting off of the body of the flesh, in the circumcision of Christ;

¹² Having been put to death with him in baptism, by which you came to life again with him, through faith in the working of God, who made him come back from the dead.

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.

³ For what the law was not able to do because it was feeble through the flesh, God, sending his Son in the image of the evil flesh, and as an offering for sin, gave his decision against sin in the flesh:

⁴ So that what was ordered by the law might be done in us, who are living, not in the way of the flesh, but in the way of the Spirit.

¹² For this cause do not let sin be ruling in your body which is under the power of death, so that you give way to its desires;

¹³ O Lord, our God, other lords than you have had rule over us; but in you only is our salvation, and no other name will we take on our lips.

¹⁷ Then Naaman said, If you will not, then let there be given to your servant as much earth as two beasts are able to take on their backs; because from now on, your servant will make no offering or burned offering to other gods, but only to the Lord.
