For when we were in the flesh, the evil passions which came into being through the law were working in our bodies to give the fruit of death.

Do you not see that your bodies are part of the body of Christ? how then may I take what is a part of the body of Christ and make it a part of the body of a loose woman? such a thing may not be.

Then put to death your bodies which are of the earth; wrong use of the flesh, unclean things, passion, evil desires and envy, which is the worship of strange gods;

Now do not be hard-hearted, as your fathers were; but give yourselves to the Lord, and come into his holy place, which he has made his for ever, and be the servants of the Lord your God, so that the heat of his wrath may be turned away from you.

Nebuchadnezzar made answer and said, Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who has sent his angel and kept his servants safe who had faith in him, and who put the king's word on one side and gave up their bodies to the fire, so that they might not be servants or worshippers of any other god but their God.

For a payment has been made for you: let God be honoured in your body.

And going even farther than our hope, they first gave themselves to the Lord and to us after the purpose of God.

In the measure of my strong hope and belief that in nothing will I be put to shame, but that without fear, as at all times, so now will Christ have glory in my body, by life or by death.

Alive

Even so see yourselves as dead to sin, but living to God in Christ Jesus.

For this, my son, who was dead, is living again; he had gone away from me, and has come back. And they were full of joy.

Truly I say to you, The man whose ears are open to my word and who has faith in him who sent me, has eternal life; he will not be judged, but has come from death into life.

And that he underwent death for all, so that the living might no longer be living to themselves, but to him who underwent death for them and came back from the dead.

Even when we were dead through our sins, gave us life together with Christ (by grace you have salvation),

For this reason he says, Be awake, you who are sleeping, and come up from among the dead, and Christ will be your light.

And you, being dead through your sins and the evil condition of your flesh, to you, I say, he gave life together with him, and forgiveness of all our sins;

He took our sins on himself, giving his body to be nailed on the tree, so that we, being dead to sin, might have a new life in righteousness, and by his wounds we have been made well.

So that you may give the rest of your lives in the flesh, not to the desires of men, but to the purpose of God.

Even so the tongue is a small part of the body, but it takes credit for great things. How much wood may be lighted by a very little fire!
