Romans 6:12

For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

and put on the new man, who in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of truth.

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.

Therefore let’s also, seeing we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let’s run with perseverance the race that is set before us,

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

What agreement does a temple of God have with idols? For you are a temple of the living God. Even as God said, “I will dwell in them and walk in them. I will be their God and they will be my people.”

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

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.

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

Therefore, putting away all filthiness and overflowing of wickedness, receive with humility the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

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

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.

Don’t you know that you are a temple of God, and that God’s Spirit lives in you?

in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the children of disobedience.

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

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus.

but exhort one another day by day, so long as it is called “today”, lest any one of you be hardened by the deceitfulness of sin.

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

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.

My steps have held fast to your paths. My feet have not slipped.

For the law was given through Moses. Grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ.

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

For while we were yet weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those whose sins weren’t like Adam’s disobedience, who is a foreshadowing of him who was to come.

But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings,

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them and embraced them from afar, and having confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

Where do wars and fightings among you come from? Don’t they come from your pleasures that war in your members?

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.

A man’s steps are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way.

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

Don’t you know that when you present yourselves as servants and obey someone, you are the servants of whomever you obey; whether of sin to death, or of obedience to righteousness?

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.

However at that time, not knowing God, you were in bondage to those who by nature are not gods.

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.

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.

Therefore putting away falsehood, speak truth each one with his neighbor. For we are members of one another.

So then, my beloved, even as you have always obeyed, not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

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

“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel. After those days,” says the Lord; “I will put my laws into their mind, I will also write them on their heart. I will be their God, and they will be my people.

having eyes full of adultery, and who can’t cease from sin; enticing unsettled souls; having a heart trained in greed; children of cursing;

You shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.

“ ‘But the soul who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, blasphemes Yahweh. That soul shall be cut off from among his people.

know for a certainty that Yahweh your God will no longer drive these nations from out of your sight; but they shall be a snare and a trap to you, a scourge in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from off this good land which Yahweh your God has given you.

I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you shall go. I will counsel you with my eye on you.

“Hear my prayer, Yahweh, and give ear to my cry. Don’t be silent at my tears. For I am a stranger with you, a foreigner, as all my fathers were.

Behold, I was born in iniquity. My mother conceived me in sin.

Uphold me according to your word, that I may live. Let me not be ashamed of my hope.

“Blessed are you when people reproach you, persecute you, and say all kinds of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

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.

For as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son also gives life to whom he desires.

but that we write to them that they abstain from the pollution of idols, from sexual immorality, from what is strangled, and from blood.

For this reason, God gave them up to vile passions. For their women changed the natural function into that which is against nature.

knowing that he who raised the Lord Jesus will raise us also with Jesus, and will present us with you.

We are therefore ambassadors on behalf of Christ, as though God were entreating by us: we beg you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God.

Working together, we entreat also that you do not receive the grace of God in vain,

Having therefore these promises, beloved, let’s cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, confined for the faith which should afterwards be revealed.

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

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.

Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.

Establish my footsteps in your word. Don’t let any iniquity have dominion over me.

Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, everyone who commits sin is the bondservant of sin.

Therefore God also gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to uncleanness, that their bodies should be dishonored among themselves;

but to those who are self-seeking, and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath, indignation,

“Foods for the belly, and the belly for foods,” but God will bring to nothing both it and them. But the body is not for sexual immorality, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.

“If a man’s hair has fallen from his head, he is bald. He is clean.

“But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land from before you, then those you let remain of them will be like pricks in your eyes and thorns in your sides. They will harass you in the land in which you dwell.

and when Yahweh your God delivers them up before you, and you strike them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy to them.

Therefore I also said, ‘I will not drive them out from before you; but they shall be in your sides, and their gods will be a snare to you.’ ”

that as sin reigned in death, even so grace might reign through righteousness to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

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.

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

I find then the law that, to me, while I desire to do good, evil is present.

But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

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.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, for its lusts.

But when this perishable body will have become imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then what is written will happen: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life also of Jesus may be revealed in our mortal flesh.

For indeed we who are in this tent do groan, being burdened, not that we desire to be unclothed, but that we desire to be clothed, that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won’t fulfill the lust of the flesh.

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

We also all once lived among them in the lusts of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

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

not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who don’t know God,

Flee from youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.

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

For we were also once foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

as children of obedience, not conforming yourselves according to your former lusts as in your ignorance,

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

These are murmurers and complainers, walking after their lusts—and their mouth speaks proud things—showing respect of persons to gain advantage.

They said to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, walking after their own ungodly lusts.”
