Therefore, brothers, I exhort you through the compassions of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, well pleasing to God, [which is] your intelligent service.

Now then, we serve as ambassadors for Christ, as though God were appealing through us: we implore [you] on Christ's behalf, be reconciled to God.

And working together [with Him], we also urge that you not receive the grace of God in vain.

Therefore I, the prisoner of the Lord, urge you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called,

rather on account of love I appeal to you--being such a one as Paul, the elder, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ--

I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whom I begot in my bonds,

Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, to the elect sojourners of the Dispersion of Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,

And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one's work, pass the time of your sojourning [here] in fear;

I am a sojourner and a stranger among you. Therefore give me possession of a burying-place among you, and I will bury my dead away from me.

And Jacob said to Pharaoh, The days of the years of my life, wherein I sojourn, are one hundred and thirty years; few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, they have not attained to the days of the life of my fathers, in which days they sojourned.

And the land shall not be sold for a permanence; for the land is Mine, because you are strangers and sojourners before Me.

for we are strangers before You, and sojourners, as all our fathers [were]; our days upon the earth [are] as a shadow, and there is no remaining.

O Lord, hearken to my prayer and my supplication; attend to my tears; be not silent, for I am a sojourner in the land, and a stranger, as all my fathers [were].

I am a stranger in the earth; hide not Your commandments from me.

Your statutes were my sons in the place of my sojourning.

These all died according to faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off and welcoming [them], and confessing that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

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

"But take heed to yourselves, lest your hearts be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and worries of life, and that Day come upon you unexpectedly.

but that we write to them to abstain from things polluted by idols, and from sexual immorality, from things strangled, and [from] blood.

that you abstain from meat offered to idols, and from blood, and from [anything] strangled, and from fornication; from which keeping yourselves back, you will do well. Farewell.

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.

Let us walk properly, as in the day, not in revelries and drinking bouts, not in orgies and debaucheries, not in strife and jealousy.

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

Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall by no means fulfill the lust of the flesh.

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

idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions,

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

Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

And the world is passing away, and its lust; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

But I see a different law in my members, waging war with the law of my mind, and capturing me by the law of sin which is in my members.

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.

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these things oppose each other, so that you do not do the things that you wish.

And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

But those desiring to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and many senseless and harmful lusts which sink men in destruction and perdition.

For the love of money is a root of all evils, of which some [by] aspiring have strayed away from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

From where [come] wars and disputes among you? Is it not from here, from your lusts, which war in your members?
