⁸ and those who are ^(A)in the flesh cannot please God.

³⁴ Jesus answered them, “Truly, truly I say to you, ^(A)everyone who commits sin is a slave of sin.

¹³ for ^(A)if you are living in accord with the flesh, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you are ^(B)putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

²⁰ Those who continue in sin, ^(A)rebuke in the presence of all, ^(B)so that the rest also will be fearful of sinning.

⁴³ And ^(A)if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life maimed, than, having your two hands, to go into ^[a](B)hell, into the ^(C)unquenchable fire.^[b]

⁴⁵ And if your foot is causing you to sin, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life without a foot, than, having your two feet, to be thrown into ^[a](A)hell.^[b]

⁴⁷ And ^(A)if your eye is causing you to sin, throw it away; it is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be thrown into ^[a](B)hell,

^48 (A)where their worm does not die, and ^(B)the fire is not extinguished.

^8 (A)Come close to God and He will come close to you. ^(B)Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and ^(C)purify your hearts, you ^(D)[a]double-minded. ^9 (E)Be miserable, and mourn, and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into gloom. ^10 (F)Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.
