¹⁴ But ^(A)put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and ^(B)make no provision for the flesh, to fulfill its lusts.

²⁴ and that you ^(A)put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness.

²⁷ For ^(A)as many of you as were baptized into Christ ^(B)have put on Christ.

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.

Living Before the World

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

²⁴ And those who are Christ’s ^(A)have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

¹⁰ and have put on the new man who ^(A)is renewed in knowledge ^(B)according to the image of Him who ^(C)created him, ¹¹ where there is neither ^(D)Greek nor Jew, circumcised nor uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave nor free, ^(E)but Christ is all and in all.

Character of the New Man

¹² Therefore, ^(F)as the elect of God, holy and beloved, ^(G)put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering;

Sonship Through the Spirit

^12 (A)Therefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. ¹³ For ^(B)if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you ^(C)put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

Do Not Love the World

^15 (A)Do not love the world or the things in the world. ^(B)If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. ¹⁶ For all that is in the world—the lust of the flesh, ^(C)the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—is not of the Father but is of the world. ¹⁷ And ^(D)the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.
