But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you won't fulfill 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.

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 to sin as instruments of unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God, as alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.
