提摩太後書 2:15
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth.
你當竭力在神面前得蒙喜悅，作無愧的工人，按著正意分解真理的道。
羅馬書 6:11
- 14
In the same way, count yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.
Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires.
Do not offer any part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life; and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness.
For sin shall no longer be your master, because you are not under the law, but under grace.
這樣，你們向罪也當看自己是死的；向神在基督耶穌裡，卻當看自己是活的。
所以，不要容罪在你們必死的身上作王，使你們順從身子的私慾。
也不要將你們的肢體獻給罪作不義的器具；倒要像從死裡復活的人，將自己獻給神，並將肢體作義的器具獻給神。
罪必不能作你們的主，因你們不在律法之下，乃在恩典之下。
約翰福音 9:23
That was why his parents said, "He is of age; ask him."
因此他父母說：「他已經成了人，你們問他吧。」
加拉太書 5:16
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
我說，你們當順著聖靈而行，就不放縱肉體的情慾了。
加拉太書 5:24
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
凡屬基督耶穌的人，是已經把肉體連肉體的邪情私慾同釘在十字架上了。
詩篇 119:11
I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.
我將你的話藏在心裡，免得我得罪你。
羅馬書 6:6
For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body ruled by sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin-
因為知道我們的舊人和他同釘十字架，使罪身滅絕，叫我們不再作罪的奴僕；
羅馬書 8:37
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.
然而，靠著愛我們的主，在這一切的事上已經得勝有餘了。
耶利米書 17:9
- 10
The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?
"I the Lord search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve."
人心比萬物都詭詐，壞到極處，誰能識透呢？
我耶和華是鑒察人心、試驗人肺腑的，要照各人所行的和他做事的結果報應他。
羅馬書 13:14
Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.
總要披戴主耶穌基督，不要為肉體安排，去放縱私慾。
加拉太書 2:20
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
我已經與基督同釘十字架，現在活著的不再是我，乃是基督在我裡面活著；並且我如今在肉身活著，是因信神的兒子而活；他是愛我，為我捨己。
雅各書 4:7
- 8
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
故此你們要順服神。務要抵擋魔鬼，魔鬼就必離開你們逃跑了。
你們親近神，神就必親近你們。有罪的人哪，要潔淨你們的手！心懷二意的人哪，要清潔你們的心！
