5 For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful ^jpassions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit ^kfor death.

24 And ^pthose who ^qbelong to Christ Jesus have ^rcrucified the flesh with its passions and desires.

3 among whom we all once lived in the ^dpassions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the flesh and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind.¹

22 to ^wput off your ^xold self,¹ which belongs to your former manner of life and is corrupt through deceitful desires,

3 For ⁱwe ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, ^jslaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another.

4 by which he has granted to us his precious and ^fvery great promises, so that through them you may become ^gpartakers of the divine nature, having ^hescaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.
