So then, those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, 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.

among whom also we all formerly conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others;

Therefore remember that you, being Gentiles in the flesh; who are called uncircumcision by what is called the circumcision made in the flesh by hands;

For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, led astray, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.

For this reason God gives them up to vile passions. For even their women change the natural use for what is contrary to nature.

Therefore by the deeds of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for through the Law is the full true knowledge of sin.

because the Law brings about wrath; for where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

Moreover the Law entered that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace abounded much more,

The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the Law.

who also made us able ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit makes alive.

how much will not the ministry of the Spirit be more glorious.

For as many as are of the works of the Law are under the curse; for it is written, Cursed is everyone who does not continue in all things which are written in the book of the Law, to do them.

but if you show partiality, you commit sin, and are convicted by the Law as transgressors.

For whoever shall keep the whole Law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all.

Whoever produces sin also produces lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness.

But sin, taking occasion through the commandment, produced in me every lust. For apart from the Law sin is dead.

And the commandment, which was unto life, I found to be unto death.

Therefore the Law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good.

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, sexual perversions, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, sexual perversion, uncleanness, licentiousness,

envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Then, when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is finished, brings forth death.

But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.

And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

I speak in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to uncleanness, and to iniquity unto iniquity, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness unto sanctification.

Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: sexual perversion, uncleanness, passion, evil lusts, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

Where do wars and fightings come from among you? Do they not come from your lusts that war in your members?

What fruit did you have then in the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
