In the flesh

and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

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

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.

Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

For we also once were foolish ourselves, disobedient, deceived, enslaved to various lusts and pleasures, spending our life in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

Which

because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for

through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.

for the Law brings about wrath, but where there is no law, there also is no violation.

The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law;

who also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

For as many as are of the works of the Law are under a curse; for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who does not abide by all things written in the book of the law, to perform them.”

But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.

Did work

But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead.

For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders.

Now the deeds of the flesh are evident, which are:

immorality, impurity, sensuality,

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

Members

but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members.

and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to

immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry.

What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members?

Bring

Therefore what

benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death.
