For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;

I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness.

I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.

Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.

For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: the righteous shall compass me about; for thou shalt deal bountifully with me.

For when we were in the flesh, the motions of sins, which were by the law, did work in our members to bring forth fruit unto death.

For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.

In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

But thou, O man of God, flee these things; and follow after righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, meekness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
