Romans 13:14

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

Consequently, brothers, we are not with respect to human nature, that is under an obligation to live according to human nature.

So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will never fulfill the desires of the flesh.

So put to death your worldly impulses: sexual sin, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed (which is idolatry).

Dear friends, I urge you as aliens and exiles to keep on abstaining from the desires of the flesh that wage war against the soul.

Stop loving the world and the things that are in the world. If anyone persists in loving the world, the Father's love is not in him.

You are to bring his sons and clothe them with tunics.

Be careful! Watch out! Because you don't know when the time will come.

So be ready, because the Son of Man is coming at a time when you don't expect him."
