So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.

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

This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.

Among whom also we all had our conversation in times past in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind; and were by nature the children of wrath, even as others.

Wherefore remember, that ye being in time past Gentiles in the flesh, who are called Uncircumcision by that which is called the Circumcision in the flesh made by hands;

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, and hating one another.

For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, there is no transgression.

Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound:

The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

How shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather glorious?

For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.

But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors.

For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.

Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

But sin, taking occasion by the commandment, wrought in me all manner of concupiscence. For without the law sin was dead.

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

Wherefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy, and just, and good.

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.

Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth 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.

Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:

From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
