Romans 13:14

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

So, brothers, we are under obligations, but not to the physical nature, to live under its control,

I mean this: Live by the Spirit, and then you will not indulge your physical cravings.

So treat as dead your physical nature, as far as immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed are concerned; for it is really idolatry.

Dear friends, I beg you, as aliens and exiles here, not to indulge the physical cravings that are at war with the soul.

Do not love the world or what is in the world. If anyone loves the world, there is no love for the Father in his heart,

You must look out and be on the alert, for you do not know when it will be time;

You must be ready too, for the Son of Man is coming at a time when you do not expect him."
