I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the [life] which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself for me.

Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, you also arm yourselves [with] the same mind, because he who suffered in [the] flesh has ceased from sin,

that he no longer should live the remaining time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty by God to the pulling down of strongholds,

For if you live according to the flesh you shall die; but if by [the] Spirit you put to death the practices of the body, you will live.

This charge I commit to you, [my] son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that you may war by them the good warfare,

You therefore endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

No one serving as a soldier entangles [himself] in the affairs of [civilian] life, in order that he may please the [one] having enlisted him.

I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

So therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every impediment, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
