¹⁶ For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, ^(A)the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world.

Walking in the Spirit

¹⁶ I say then: ^(A)Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. ¹⁷ For ^(B)the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, ^(C)so that you do not do the things that you wish.

^4 (A)that each of you should know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, ^5 (B)not in passion of lust, ^(C)like the Gentiles ^(D)who do not know God;

⁷ For God did not call us to uncleanness, ^(A)but in holiness.

^18 (A)Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins ^(B)against his own body.

Living Before the World

¹¹ Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts ^(A)which war against the soul,

² that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, ^(A)but for the will of God.
