Christ’s Example to Be Followed

4 Therefore, since Christ suffered ^[a]for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, ² that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, ^(A)but for the will of God.

²⁴ And those who are Christ’s ^(A)have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

²² But now ^(A)having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of God, you have your fruit ^[a]to holiness, and the end, everlasting life.
