For if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

Just as it is written, "On account of you we are being put to death the whole day [long]; we are considered as sheep for slaughter."

just as it is written, "Behold, I am laying in Zion {a stone that causes people to stumble}, and {a rock that causes them to fall}, and the one who believes in him will not be put to shame."

For the scripture says, "Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame."

Let every person be subject to the governing authorities, for [there] is no authority except by God, and those that exist are put in place by God.

The night is far gone, and the day has drawn near. Therefore let us throw off the deeds of darkness and put on the weapons of light.

But put on the Lord Jesus Christ and do not make provision for the desires of the flesh.

And again Isaiah says, "The root of Jesse will come, even the one who rises to rule over the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles will put their hope."
