Job 20:13

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

He said to all, “If anyone desires to come after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.

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.

envy, 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 God’s Kingdom.

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

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.

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

If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.

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

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

Cast away from you all your transgressions, in which you have transgressed; and make yourself a new heart and a new spirit: for why will you die, house of Israel?

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, that you may not do the things that you desire.

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

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,

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

For though we walk in the flesh, we don’t wage war according to the flesh;

But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.

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

That good thing which was committed to you, guard through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us.

“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘You shall eat no fat, of bull, or sheep, or goat.

Take counsel together, and it will be brought to nothing; speak the word, and it will not stand, for God is with us.”

“But if the wicked turns from all his sins that he has committed, and keeps all my statutes, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall surely live. He shall not die.

He will again have compassion on us. He will tread our iniquities under foot; and you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

If your hand causes you to stumble, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having your two hands to go into Gehenna, into the unquenchable fire,

That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

Whoever lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?”

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.

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

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.

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

What a wretched man I am! Who will deliver me out of the body of this death?

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.

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

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

according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in sanctification of the Spirit, that you may obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with his blood: Grace to you and peace be multiplied.
