彼得前書 2:11
Dear friends, I urge you, as foreigners and exiles, to abstain from sinful desires, which wage war against your soul.
親愛的弟兄啊，你們是客旅，是寄居的。我勸你們要禁戒肉體的私慾；這私慾是與靈魂爭戰的。
羅馬書 8:5
- 8
Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so.
Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.
因為隨從肉體的人體貼肉體的事，隨從聖靈的人體貼聖靈的事。
體貼肉體的，就是死；體貼聖靈的，乃是生命、平安。
原來體貼肉體的，就是與神為仇；因為不服神的律法，也是不能服，
而且屬肉體的人不能得神的喜歡。
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 6:8
Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
順著情慾撒種的，必從情慾收敗壞；順著聖靈撒種的，必從聖靈收永生。
約翰福音 6:63
The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you-they are full of the Spirit and life.
叫人活著的乃是靈，肉體是無益的。我對你們所說的話就是靈，就是生命。
加拉太書 5:25
Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.
我們若是靠聖靈得生，就當靠聖靈行事。
加拉太書 5:16
- 17
So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want.
我說，你們當順著聖靈而行，就不放縱肉體的情慾了。
因為情慾和聖靈相爭，聖靈和情慾相爭，這兩個是彼此相敵，使你們不能做所願意做的。
