Thematic Bible: Mortify the
Thematic Bible
The flesh » Mortify the
for if you live according to flesh, you are about to die. If by the Spirit, you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
Put on (live like) (clothe yourself with) the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not make provision for the desires of the flesh.
Make your members that are upon the earth dead with regard to fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness (greed), which is idolatry.

We know this that our old self was impaled with him that the body of sin might be destroyed, that we should no longer be in bondage to sin.
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have impaled the flesh with its passions and lusts.
From now on you must live the rest of your earthly lives controlled by God's will and not by human desires (lusts).
I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.
If your right eye causes you to sin, take it out and throw it away! It is better to lose a part of your body then to have your whole body destroyed in the ever-burning fires of the Valley of Hinnom.
If your hand or your foot is a cause of stumbling cut it off. Get rid of it. It is better for you to go into life with the loss of a hand or a foot than, having two hands or two feet, to be destroyed by eternal fire.
Beloved, I request that you as aliens and strangers abstain from fleshly lust (desires), which causes conflict in you.
