¹³ For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

⁸ For he who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption. But he who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

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

²⁷ but I beat my body and bring it into submission, lest by any means, after I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected.

¹¹ Beloved, I beg you as foreigners and pilgrims, to abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

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

⁵ Put to death therefore your members which are on the earth: sexual immorality, uncleanness, depraved passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;

⁶ for which things' sake the wrath of God comes on the children of disobedience.

⁷ You also once walked in those, when you lived in them;

⁸ but now you also put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and shameful speaking out of your mouth.

⁴ that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

⁵ For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

⁶ For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

²² Seeing you have purified your souls in your obedience to the truth through the Spirit in sincere brotherly affection, love one another from the heart fervently:

¹⁴ But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed.

¹⁵ Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth death.

²² that you put away, as concerning your former way of life, the old man, that grows corrupt after the lusts of deceit;

¹⁹ Now the works of the flesh are obvious, which are: adultery, sexual immorality, uncleanness, lustfulness,

²⁰ idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strife, jealousies, outbursts of anger, rivalries, divisions, heresies,

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.

⁵ For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions which were through the law, worked in our members to bring forth fruit to death.

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

³ But sexual immorality, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not even be mentioned among you, as becomes saints;

⁴ nor filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not appropriate; but rather giving of thanks.

⁵ Know this for sure, that no sexually immoral person, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the Kingdom of Christ and God.

³⁰ Don't grieve the Holy Spirit of God, in whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.

¹ There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.

² For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

²³ For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

²¹ What fruit then did you have at that time in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
