帖撒羅尼迦前書 4:5
not in passionate lust like the pagans, who do not know God;
不放縱私慾的邪情，像那不認識神的外邦人。
彼得前書 4:1
- 2
Therefore, since Christ suffered in his body, arm yourselves also with the same attitude, because whoever suffers in the body is done with sin.
As a result, they do not live the rest of their earthly lives for evil human desires, but rather for the will of God.
基督既在肉身受苦，你們也當將這樣的心志作為兵器，因為在肉身受過苦的，就已經與罪斷絕了。
你們存這樣的心，從今以後就可以不從人的情慾，只從神的旨意在世度餘下的光陰。
羅馬書 12:2
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will.
不要效法這個世界，只要心意更新而變化，叫你們察驗何為神的善良、純全、可喜悅的旨意。
以弗所書 4:17
- 20
So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking.
They are darkened in their understanding and separated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts.
Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, and they are full of greed.
That, however, is not the way of life you learned
所以我說，且在主裡確實的說，你們行事不要再像外邦人存虛妄的心行事。
他們心地昏昧，與神所賜的生命隔絕了，都因自己無知，心裡剛硬；
良心既然喪盡，就放縱私慾，貪行種種的污穢。
你們學了基督，卻不是這樣。
彼得前書 4:3
- 5
For you have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do-living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing and detestable idolatry.
They are surprised that you do not join them in their reckless, wild living, and they heap abuse on you.
But they will have to give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
因為往日隨從外邦人的心意行邪淫、惡慾、醉酒、荒宴、群飲，並可惡拜偶像的事，時候已經夠了。
他們在這些事上，見你們不與他們同奔那放蕩無度的路，就以為怪，毀謗你們。
他們必在那將要審判活人死人的主面前交賬。
