Romans
6:11- 13
"Likewise you also, reckon yourselves to be
dead indeed to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus
our Lord. Therefore do not let sin reign in your
mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts.
And do not present your members as instruments of
unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to
God as being alive from the dead, and your members
as instruments of righteousness to God."
Proverbs
6:25 - 29
"Do not lust after her beauty in your heart,
Nor let her allure you with her eyelids. For by means
of a harlot A man is reduced to a crust of bread;
And an adulteress will prey upon his precious life.
Can a man take fire to his bosom, And his clothes
not be burned? Can one walk on hot coals, And his
feet not be seared? So is he who goes in to his neighbor’s
wife; Whoever touches her shall not be innocent."
James 4:7,8
"Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and
he will flee from you. Draw near to God and He will
draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners;
and purify your hearts, you double-minded."
James 4:1 - 4
"Where do wars and fights come from among you?
Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that
war in your members? You lust and do not have. You
murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and
war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask.
You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss,
that you may spend it on your pleasures. Adulterers
and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship
with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore
wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an
enemy of God." 1 John 2:16,17
"For all that is in the world - the lust of
the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of
life - is not of the Father but is of the world.
And the world is passing away, and the lust of it;
but he who does the will of God abides forever."
Matthew 5:27,28
"You have heard that it was said to those of
old, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’But I say to
you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her
has already committed adultery with her in his heart."
1 Peter 2:11
"Beloved, I beg you as sojourners and pilgrims,
abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the
soul,"
1 Peter
1:14 - 16
"as obedient children, not conforming yourselves
to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as
He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all
your conduct, because it is written, 'Be holy, for
I am holy.' "
2 Timothy 2:22
"Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness,
faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord
out of a pure heart."
Titus 3:3 - 5
"For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient,
deceived, serving various lusts and pleasures, living
in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another.
But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior
toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness
which we have done, but according to His mercy He
saved us, through the washing of regeneration and
renewing of the Holy Spirit,"
Jude 1:18
- 21
"how they told you that there would be mockers
in the last time who would walk according to their
own ungodly lusts. These are sensual persons, who
cause divisions, not having the Spirit. But
you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most
holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves
in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our
Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life."
Galatians 5:16,16
"I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall
not fulfill the lust of the flesh."
2 Peter 1:4
"by which have been given to us exceedingly
great and precious promises, that through these you
may be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped
the corruption that is in the world through lust."
Ephesians 2:3 - 6
"among whom also we all once conducted ourselves
in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires
of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature
children of wrath, just as the others. But
God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love
with which He loved us, even when we were dead in
trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by
grace you have been saved), and raised us up together,
and made us sit together in the heavenly places in
Christ Jesus,"
Titus 2:11,12
"For the grace of God that brings salvation
has appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying
ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly,
righteously, and godly in the present age,"
Galatians
5:24
"And those who are Christ’s have crucified the
flesh with its passions and desires."
James 1:13
"Let no one say when he is tempted, 'I am tempted
by God'; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does
He Himself tempt anyone.
