But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness.
For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world.
But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.
Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.
Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.
So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
The prudent sees danger and hides himself, but the simple go on and suffer for it.
I can do all things through him who strengthens me.
