In the flesh

and they that are in the flesh cannot please God.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

among whom we also all once lived in the lust of our flesh, doing the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest:--

For we also once were foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

Which

because by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified in his sight; for through the law cometh the knowledge of sin.

for the law worketh wrath; but where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

And the law came in besides, that the trespass might abound; but where sin abounded, grace did abound more exceedingly:

The sting of death is sin; and the power of sin is the law:

who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.

For as many as are of the works of the law are under a curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one who continueth not in all things that are written in the book of the law, to do them.

but if ye have respect of persons, ye commit sin, being convicted by the law as transgressors.

Every one that doeth sin doeth also lawlessness; and sin is lawlessness.

Did work

but sin, finding occasion, wrought in me through the commandment all manner of coveting: for apart from the law sin is dead.

For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, railings:

Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these : fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness,

Then the lust, when it hath conceived, beareth sin: and the sin, when it is fullgrown, bringeth forth death.

Members

but I see a different law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity under the law of sin which is in my members.

neither present your members unto sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves unto God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

Put to death therefore your members which are upon the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry;

Whence come wars and whence come fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your pleasures that war in your members?

Bring

What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death.
