9 for we know that Christ, who was raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has mastery over him.

8 Indeed, those who are under the control of the flesh cannot please God.

9 You, however, are not of the flesh but under the control of the Spirit, since God's Spirit lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him.

8 Be clear-minded and alert. Your opponent the devil is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.

9 Resist him and be firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.

24 You know that in a race all the runners run but only one wins the prize, don't you? You must run in such a way that you may be victorious.

26 That is the way I run, with a clear goal in mind. That is the way I box, not like someone punching the air.

27 No, I keep on beating my body and making it my slave so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not somehow be disqualified.

20 Our citizenship, however, is in heaven, and it is from there that we eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ.

21 He will change our humble bodies and make them like his glorious body through the power that enables him to bring everything under his authority.

7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but one of power, love, and self-discipline.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against such things.

7 The end of everything is near; so be sensible and clear-headed for the sake of your prayers.

4 each of you must know how to control his own body in holiness and honor,

5 not with passion and lust like the Gentiles who do not know God;

5 For this very reason, you must make every effort to supplement your faith with moral character, your moral character with knowledge,

6 your knowledge with self-control, your self-control with endurance, your endurance with godliness,

7 your godliness with brotherly kindness, and your brotherly kindness with love.

13 He has rescued us from the power of darkness and has brought us into the kingdom of the Son whom he loves.

14 In him we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

11 For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people.

12 It trains us to renounce ungodly living and worldly passions so that we might live sensible, honest, and godly lives in the present world

13 as we wait for the blessed hope and the glorious appearance of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ.

1 Therefore, since Christ suffered in the sphere of the flesh, you, too, must arm yourselves with the same determination. For the person who has suffered in the sphere of the flesh has stopped sinning,

2 so that he can live the rest of his time in the flesh guided, not by human desires, but by the will of God.

3 For you spent enough time in the past doing what the Gentiles like to do, living in sensuality, sinful desires, drunkenness, wild celebrations, drinking parties, and detestable idolatry.

4 They insult you now because they are surprised that you are no longer joining them in the same excesses of wild living.

24 Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has done away with every ruler and every authority and power.

25 For he must rule until God puts all his enemies under his feet.

13 No temptation has overtaken you that is unusual for human beings. But God is faithful, and he will not allow you to be tempted beyond your strength. Instead, along with the temptation he will also provide a way out, so that you may be able to endure it.
