The flesh » Mortify the
For if ye live according to the flesh, ye shall die; but if through the Spirit ye mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
But be clothed with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not listen to the flesh, to fulfil its desires.

knowing this: that our old man is crucified with him that the body of sin might be destroyed that we should not serve sin any longer.
For those that are of the Christ have crucified the flesh with its affections and lusts.

Therefore if thy right eye should bring thee occasion to stumble, pluck it out and cast it from thee; for it is better for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Therefore if thy hand or thy foot cause thee to fall, cut them off and cast them from thee; it is better for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into eternal fire.
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from the carnal desires which war against the soul
