In the flesh

They then who 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 in the Spirit, and ye will not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

among whom also we all have had our conversation in time past, in the lusts of the flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, as well as the rest.

For we ourselves also in time past were thoughtless, disobedient, erroneous, enslaved by various passions and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful, hating one another.

Which

Wherefore by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified before God: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

for the law causeth wrath: for where there is no law, neither is there transgression.

But the law was introduced, that the offence might be more abundant. But where sin had abounded, there hath grace abounded more exceedingly:

The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law.

Who hath made us also able ministers of the new testament, 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 the things written in the book of the law to do them."

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

Every one who committeth sin, committeth also a transgression of the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

Did work

But sin, seizing the opportunity by the law, wrought in me all concupiscence. For without the law sin is dead.

for out of the heart proceed wicked reasonings, murders, adulteries, whoredoms, thefts, false testimonies, blasphemies:

Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are these: adultery, whoredom, impurity, lasciviousness,

Then passion impregnated, bringeth forth sin, and sin reaching its consummation, bringeth forth death.

Members

but I see another law in my members, militating against the law in my mind, and making me captive to the law of sin which is in my members.

Neither present your members as weapons of unrighteousness for sin: but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as weapons of righteousness for God.

Mortify therefore your members which are on the earth, fornication, impurity, the vile passion, evil concupiscence, and insatiable desire, which is idolatry:

FROM whence come wars and conflicts among you? spring they not from hence, even from your passions, which war in your members?

Bring

What fruit therefore had ye then in those things at which ye are now confounded? for the end of those things is death.
