And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
We know that our old self was crucified with him in order that the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.
You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
Beloved, I urge you as sojourners and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh, which wage war against your soul.
But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
and you are Christ's, and Christ is God's.
Look at what is before your eyes. If anyone is confident that he is Christ's, let him remind himself that just as he is Christ's, so also are we.
And if you are Christ's, then you are Abraham's offspring, heirs according to promise.
But each in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, then at his coming those who belong to Christ.
