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.
And they that are Moshiach [Messiah]’s have crucified the flesh with the passions and lusts.
Mortify (put to death; remove the life of) therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate (unrestrained; immoderate) affection, evil concupiscence (strong lust; passion), and covetousness, which is idolatry:
Dearly beloved, I beseech (to call upon; appeal; beg) [you] as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour;
Not in the lust of concupiscence (strong lust; passion), even as the Goyim [Gentiles] which know not God-The Father:
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.
Whether therefore you2f eat, or drink, or whatsoever you2f do, do all to the glory of God-The Father.
But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.
For this cause God-The Father gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:
And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is inappropriate, and receiving in themselves that recompence (punishment for evil, reward) of their error which was meet.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;
And they shall turn away [their] ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.
You2f ask, and receive not, because you2f ask amiss, that you2f may consume [it] upon your lusts.
