Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,
And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit,
For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.
I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
For one who has died has been set free from sin.
Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm.
Wash yourselves; make yourselves clean; remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes; cease to do evil,
The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus,
By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it?
Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.
for whoever has entered God's rest has also rested from his works as God did from his.
And they shall burn your houses and execute judgments upon you in the sight of many women. I will make you stop playing the whore, and you shall also give payment no more.
