Paixão
A Bíblia nos chama a dominar as paixões e desejos da carne. O cristão é chamado a viver pelo Espírito, crucificando as obras da carne e buscando a santidade em tudo.
Crucificar a carne
Os que são de Cristo crucificaram a carne com suas paixões e concupiscências. O domínio próprio é fruto do Espírito Santo.
24 Those but of the Anointed, the flesh crucified with the passions and the desires;
5 Put you to death therefore the members of you those on the earth, fornication, impurity, passion, desire evil, and the covetousness, which is idol worship;
11 Beloved ones, I entreat as strangers and sojourners, to abstain from the fleshly lusts, which war against the life;
4 to have known each one of you the of himself vessel to possess in satisfaction and honor,5 not in passion of inordinate desire, as even the Gentiles those not knowing the God;
Tudo para a glória de Deus
Quer comamos, quer bebamos, tudo deve ser feito para a glória de Deus. Devemos fugir das paixões que guerreiam contra a alma.
31 Whether then you eat, or you drink, or anything you do, all things for glory of God do you.
9 if but not they possess selfcontrol, let him marry; better for it is to have married, than to be inflamed.
26 On account of this delivered them the God to passions of infamy. The even for females of them changed the natural use into that in violation of nature.27 In like manner and also the males having left the natural use of the female, were inflamed with the lust of them for for each other, males with males the indecency working out, and the recompence, which it was proper, of the error of them in themselves receiving back.
3 Will be for a season, when of the wholesome teaching not they will endure, but according to the own desires of themselves they will heap up teachers, tickling the ear;4 and from indeed of the truth the hearing they will turn away, to but the fables they will be turned aside.
3 you ask, and not you receive, because wickedly you ask, so that in the pleasure of you you may waste.
