9 Knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies not again; death has no longer dominion over him:
8 Those, then, who are in the flesh, can not please God.
9 Now, you are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit; because the Spirit of God dwells in you. But, if any one have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
24 Do you not know that they who run a race, all run, but one only receives the prize? So run, that you may lay hold of the prize?
25 Now, every one who contends is temperate in all things: they, indeed, that they may receive a fading crown; but we, one that does not fade.
26 I, therefore, so run, as not out of view. So I fight, not as beating the air:
27 but, I mortify my body, and keep it in subjection; lest, perhaps, having proclaimed to others, I myself should not be accepted.
8 Be sober, be vigilant: your adversary, the devil, is walking about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour:
9 whom resist, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the very same sufferings are accomplished in your brethren, who are in the world.
20 But we are citizens of heaven, whence, also, we earnestly expect the Saviour, our Lord Jesus Christ;
21 who will transform our humbled body into a like form with his glorious body, according to the energy of his power, even to subject all things to himself.
7 For God has not given us a spirit of cowardice; but of power, and of love, and of self-government.
11 For the favor of God, which brings salvation, has appeared to all men;
12 teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world-
13 expecting the blessed hope; namely, the appearing of the glory of the great God, and of our Saviour Jesus Christ;
13 No trial has come upon you but such as belongs to man; and God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tried above what you are able, but will, with the trial, also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear.
4 that every one of you should know how to possess his own body in sanctification and honor-
5 not in the passion of lust, even as the Gentiles who know not God.
7 Now the end of all things has approached; be, therefore, sober, and watch to prayer.
9 Yet, if they can not live continently, let them marry; for it is better to marry than to be in pain.
20 which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places;
21 far above all government, and power, and might, and lordship, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come;
5 And for this very reason, indeed, giving all diligence, add to your faith, courage; and to courage, knowledge;
6 and to knowledge, temperance; and to temperance, patience; and to patience, godliness;
7 and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love:
22 Therefore, as by Adam all die, so also by Christ all shall be made alive.
23 But every one in his own rank: Christ the first fruit; they that are Christ's, afterward, at his coming.
24 Then comes the end, when he shall resign the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have abolished all government, and all authority, and power.
25 For he must reign till he has put all the enemies under his feet.
1 Christ, then, having suffered for us in the flesh, do you also warm yourselves with the same mind: for he who has suffered in the flesh, has ceased from sin;
2 so that he no longer lives his remaining time in the flesh, to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
3 For the time which has passed of life, is sufficient to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, having walked in lasciviousness, lusts, excesses in wine, revellings, carousals, and abominable idolatries.
4 On which account they wonder that you do not run with them, into the same sink of debauchery, reviling you,-
5 who shall give account to him who is prepared to judge the living and the dead.
13 who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his beloved Son:
14 by whom we have redemption, even the remission of sins.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, fidelity,
23 meekness, temperance: against such things there is no law.
