Thematic Bible: Mortify the
Thematic Bible
The flesh » Mortify the
(for if you live according to the flesh, you will die), but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live.
Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh to arouse its desires.
So put to death whatever in your nature belongs to the earth: sexual immorality, impurity, shameful passion, evil desire, and greed which is idolatry.

We know that our old man was crucified with him so that the body of sin would no longer dominate us, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.
Now those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
in that he spends the rest of his time on earth concerned about the will of God and not human desires.
But I say, live by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desires of the flesh.
If your right eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away! It is better to lose one of your members than to have your whole body thrown into hell.
If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire.
Dear friends, I urge you as foreigners and exiles to keep away from fleshly desires that do battle against the soul,
