Mortify

knowing this: that our old man is crucified with him that the body of sin might be destroyed that we should not serve sin any longer.

For if ye live according to the flesh, ye shall die; but if through the Spirit ye mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

For those that are of the Christ have crucified the flesh with its affections and lusts.

But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not be once named among you as becomes saints,

Members

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

For while we were in the flesh, the affections of the sins which were by the law worked in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

Where do the wars and disputes come from among you? From here that is to say, of your lusts which fight in your members?

Evil

What shall we say then? Is the law sin? No, in no wise. But, I did not know sin except by the law; for neither would I have known lust if the law did not say, Thou shalt not covet.

Now these things became types of us, that we should not lust after evil things as they lusted.

who, after losing all sense of feeling have given themselves over unto lasciviousness to work all uncleanness with greediness.

Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from the carnal desires which war against the soul

And they shall come there, and they shall remove all her contaminations and all her abominations from her.
