¹ Therefore I urge you, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.

² Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God.

³ For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think reasonably, as God has apportioned to each person a measure of faith.

³⁶ If therefore the Son makes you free, you will be free indeed.

¹³ He who conceals his sins doesn't prosper, But whoever confesses and renounces them finds mercy.

³¹ Jesus therefore said to those Jews who had believed him, "If you remain in my word, then you are truly my disciples.

³² You will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."

³³ They answered him, "We are Abraham's seed, and have never been in bondage to anyone. How do you say, 'You will be made free?'"

¹³ "You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its flavor, with what will it be salted? It is then good for nothing, but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men.

¹¹ For it is written, "'As I live,' says the Lord, 'to me every knee will bow. Every tongue will confess to God.'"

¹² So then each one of us will give account of himself to God.

¹³ Therefore let's not judge one another any more, but judge this rather, that no man put a stumbling block in his brother's way, or an occasion for falling.

¹³ Bring us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For yours is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.'

¹ Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don't be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

¹² "All things are lawful for me," but not all things are expedient. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be brought under the power of anything.

¹⁸ Don't be drunken with wine, in which is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit,

²¹ envyings, murders, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these; of which I forewarn you, even as I also forewarned you, that those who practice such things will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

²² But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

²³ gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law.

²⁴ Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

¹³ No temptation has taken you except what is common to man. God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able, but will with the temptation also make the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

² that you no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

³ For we have spent enough of our past time doing the desire of the Gentiles, and having walked in lewdness, lusts, drunken binges, orgies, carousings, and abominable idolatries.

⁴ They think it is strange that you don't run with them into the same excess of riot, blaspheming:

⁵ who will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

⁶ For to this end was the Gospel preached even to the dead, that they might be judged indeed as men in the flesh, but live as to God in the spirit.

⁷ But the end of all things is near. Therefore be of sound mind, self-controlled, and sober in prayer.

⁸ And above all things be earnest in your love among yourselves, for love covers a multitude of sins.

³ knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

⁹ Or don't you know that the unrighteous will not inherit the Kingdom of God? Don't be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexuals,

¹⁰ nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor slanderers, nor extortioners, will inherit the Kingdom of God.

¹¹ Such were some of you, but you were washed. But you were sanctified. But you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and in the Spirit of our God.

¹² "All things are lawful for me," but not all things are expedient. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be brought under the power of anything.

¹⁶ For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, isn't the Father's, but is the world's.

¹ Wine is a mocker, and beer is a brawler; Whoever is led astray by them is not wise.

¹¹ For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

¹² instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world;

¹³ looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ;

¹¹ Thus also consider yourselves also to be dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

¹² Therefore don't let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.

¹³ Neither present your members to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

¹⁴ For sin will not have dominion over you. For you are not under law, but under grace.

⁴¹ Watch and pray, that you don't enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

⁷ Be subject therefore to God. But resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

³⁴ Jesus answered them, "Most assuredly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.

²³ Be no longer a drinker of water only, but use a little wine for your stomach's sake and your frequent infirmities.

⁸ If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

⁹ If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

¹⁰ If we say that we haven't sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

¹⁹ Or don't you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which you have from God? You are not your own,

⁵ For if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we will also be part of his resurrection;

⁶ knowing this, that our old man was crucified with him, that the body of sin might be done away with, so that we would no longer be in bondage to sin.

⁷ For he who has died has been freed from sin.
