Mortify

We know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin.

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

Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints.

Members

Do not yield your members to sin as instruments of wickedness, but yield yourselves to God as men who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments of righteousness.

While we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death.

What causes quarrels and fights among you? Is it not your passions that are at war in your members?

Evil

What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed, I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, "You shall not covet."

Now these things are examples for us, not to desire evil things as they did.

and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality, greedy for the practice of every kind of impurity.

Beloved, I urge you as aliens and strangers to abstain from fleshly lusts which wage war against your soul.
