If you live under the power of sin, you will die. But by the Spirit’s power you can put to death the sins you commit. Then you will live.

你们若顺从肉体活着，必要死；若靠着圣灵治死身体的恶行，必要活着。

你们若顺从肉体活着，必定会死；若靠着圣灵把身体的恶行处死，就必存活。

你们若顺从肉体活着，必定会死；若靠着圣灵把身体的恶行处死，就必存活。

你们若随从罪恶本性活着，必定死亡；但若靠着圣灵除去身体的恶行，就必活着。

如果随着肉体而活，你们必定死；如果靠着圣灵治死身体的恶行，你们就必活着。

因为你们如果顺着肉体而活，就将死去；但如果顺着圣灵治死身体的所作所为，就将活着。

爾若依形軀而生、則必死、惟以神而泯身之所行者、則必生、

從欲者死、惟藉聖神以滅吾身情欲、則生、

爾曹若從肉體而行、必死、若以聖神而滅身之邪行、必生、

爾如從欲、取死之道也。存神去欲、得生之道也。

For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.

For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

For if you live by its dictates, you will die. But if through the power of the Spirit you put to death the deeds of your sinful nature, you will live.

because if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

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

For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

for if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.

( for if you live according to the flesh, you will die), but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live.

For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

Some people plant to please their desires controlled by sin. From these desires they will harvest death. Others plant to please the Holy Spirit. From the Spirit they will harvest eternal life.

Dear friends, you are outsiders and those who wander in this world. So I’m asking you not to give in to your sinful desires. They fight against your soul.

So put to death anything that comes from sinful desires. Get rid of sexual sins and impure acts. Don’t let your feelings get out of control. Remove from your life all evil desires. Stop always wanting more and more. You might as well be worshiping statues of gods.God’s anger is going to come because of these things.That’s the way you lived at one time in your life.But now here are the kinds of things you must also get rid of. You must get rid of anger, rage, hate and lies. Let no dirty words come out of your mouths.

No, I train my body and bring it under control. Then after I have preached to others, I myself will not break the rules. If I did break them, I would fail to win the prize.

Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed their sinful desires to his cross. They don’t want these things anymore.

You have made yourselves pure by obeying the truth. So you have an honest and true love for each other. So love one another deeply, from your hearts.

His grace teaches us to say no to godless ways and sinful desires. We must control ourselves. We must do what is right. We must lead godly lives in today’s world.

Jesus does for us everything the holy law requires. The power of sin should no longer control the way we live. The Holy Spirit should control the way we live.So don’t live under the control of sin. If you do, you will think about what sin wants. Live under the control of the Holy Spirit. If you do, you will think about what the Spirit wants.The thoughts of a person ruled by sin bring death. But the mind ruled by the Spirit brings life and peace.

You were taught not to live the way you used to. You must get rid of your old way of life. That’s because it has been made impure by the desire for things that lead you astray.

The power of sin used to control us. The law stirred up sinful desires in us. So the things we did resulted in death.

But each person is tempted by their own evil desires. These desires lead them on and drag them away.When these desires are allowed to remain, they lead to sin. And when sin is allowed to remain and grow, it leads to death.

The result of sin’s control in our lives is clear. It includes sexual sins, impure acts and wild living.It includes worshiping statues of gods and worshiping evil powers. It also includes hatred and fighting, jealousy and fits of anger. Sinful desire is interested only in getting ahead. It stirs up trouble. It separates people into their own little groups.It wants what others have. It gets drunk and takes part in wild parties. It does many things of that kind. I warn you now as I did before. People who live like this will not receive God’s kingdom.

Those who belong to Christ Jesus are no longer under God’s judgment.Because of what Christ Jesus has done, you are free. You are now controlled by the law of the Holy Spirit who gives you life. The law of the Spirit frees you from the law of sin that brings death.

When you sin, the pay you get is death. But God gives you the gift of eternal life. That’s because of what Christ Jesus our Lord has done.

Don’t fill yourself up with wine. Getting drunk will lead to wild living. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Do not make God’s Holy Spirit mourn. The Holy Spirit is the proof that you belong to God. And the Spirit is the proof that God will set you completely free.

What benefit did you gain from doing the things you are now ashamed of? Those things lead to death!

There should not be even a hint of sexual sin among you. Don’t do anything impure. And do not always want more and more. These are not the things God’s holy people should do.There must not be any bad language or foolish talk or dirty jokes. They are out of place. Instead, you should give thanks.Here is what you can be sure of. Those who give themselves over to sexual sins are lost. So are people whose lives are impure. The same is true of those who always want more and more. People who do these things might as well worship statues of gods. No one who does them will receive a share in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
