¹⁶ For all that is in the world, ^(A)the lust of the flesh and ^(B)the lust of the eyes and ^(C)the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.

¹⁶ But I say, ^(A)walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out ^(B)the desire of the flesh. ¹⁷ For ^(C)the desire of the flesh is against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, ^(D)in order to keep you from doing whatever you want.

¹⁰ and especially those who ^[a](A)indulge the flesh in its corrupt passion, and ^(B)despise ^[b]authority.

^[c]Reckless, ^(C)self-centered, they ^(D)speak abusively of angelic ^[d]majesties without trembling,

^11 (A)Beloved, ^(B)I urge you as ^(C)foreigners and strangers to abstain from ^(D)fleshly lusts, which wage ^(E)war against the soul.

^2 (A)so as to live ^(B)the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human lusts, but for the ^(C)will of God.

²² Now ^(A)flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, ^(B)faith, love, and peace with those who ^(C)call on the Lord ^(D)from a pure heart.

¹¹ But if the Spirit of Him who ^(A)raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, ^(B)He who raised ^(C)Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies ^[a]through His Spirit who dwells in you.

¹² So then, brothers and sisters, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— ¹³ for ^(D)if you are living in accord with the flesh, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you are ^(E)putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

¹⁴ But ^(A)put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh ^(B)in regard to its lusts.

² in which you ^(A)previously walked according to the ^[a]course of ^(B)this world, according to ^(C)the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in ^(D)the ^[b]sons of disobedience. ³ Among them ^[c]we too all ^(E)previously lived in ^(F)the lusts of our flesh, ^[d]indulging the desires of the flesh and of the ^[e]mind, and were ^(G)by nature ^(H)children of wrath, ^(I)just as the rest.
