¹⁴ but put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and for the flesh take no forethought -- for desires.

²⁷ for as many as to Christ were baptized did put on Christ;

²⁴ and to put on the new man, which, according to God, was created in righteousness and kindness of the truth.

²⁴ and those who are Christ's, the flesh did crucify with the affections, and the desires;

¹¹ Beloved, I call upon `you', as strangers and sojourners, to keep from the fleshly desires, that war against the soul,

¹² So, then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh;

¹³ for if according to the flesh ye do live, ye are about to die; and if, by the Spirit, the deeds of the body ye put to death, ye shall live;

⁵ Put to death, then, your members that `are' upon the earth -- whoredom, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and the covetousness, which is idolatry --

⁶ because of which things cometh the anger of God upon the sons of the disobedience,

⁷ in which also ye -- ye did walk once, when ye lived in them;

⁸ but now put off, even ye, the whole -- anger, wrath, malice, evil-speaking, filthy talking -- out of your mouth.

¹⁰ and having put on the new, which is renewed in regard to knowledge, after the image of Him who did create him;

¹¹ where there is not Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, foreigner, Scythian, servant, freeman -- but the all and in all -- Christ.

¹² Put on, therefore, as choice ones of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humble-mindedness, meekness, long-suffering,

¹⁶ And I say: In the Spirit walk ye, and the desire of the flesh ye may not complete;

¹⁷ for the flesh doth desire contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit contrary to the flesh, and these are opposed one to another, that the things that ye may will -- these ye may not do;

¹⁵ Love not ye the world, nor the things in the world; if any one doth love the world, the love of the Father is not in him,

¹⁶ because all that `is' in the world -- the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of the life -- is not of the Father, but of the world,

¹⁷ and the world doth pass away, and the desire of it, and he who is doing the will of God, he doth remain -- to the age.

¹⁴ Righteousness I have put on, and it clotheth me, As a robe and a diadem my justice.
