34 Jesus answered them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, *everyone who practices sin is a slave*to sin.

36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.

31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed him, *"If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples,32 and you will *know the truth, and the truth *will set you free."

1 For *freedom Christ has *set us free; *stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to *a yoke of *slavery.

16 Do you not know that if you present yourselves *to anyone as obedient slaves,* you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin, which leads to death, or of obedience, which leads to righteousness?

21 envy,* drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that *those who do* such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. 23 *gentleness, *self-control; *against such things there is no law.

12 *"All things are lawful for me," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be dominated by anything.

12 *"All things are lawful for me," but not all things are helpful. "All things are lawful for me," but I will not be dominated by anything.

27 But I discipline my body and *keep it under control,* lest after preaching to others *I myself should be *disqualified.

13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. *God is faithful, and *he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

13 No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. *God is faithful, and *he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

41 *Watch and *pray that you *may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. *Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

3 for you know that *the testing of your faith *produces steadfastness.

1 *I appeal to you therefore, brothers,* by the mercies of God, *to present your bodies *as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.*2 *Do not be conformed to this world,* but be transformed by *the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may *discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.*

11 So you also must consider yourselves *dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus.

12 Let not *sin therefore reign in your mortal body, to make you obey its passions. 13 *Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but *present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness.

5 For *if we have been united with him in *a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his. 6 We know that *our old self**was crucified with him in order that *the body of sin might be brought to nothing, so that we would no longer be enslaved to sin.

11 For *the grace of God *has appeared, bringing salvation *for all people, 12 training us to renounce ungodliness and *worldly passions, and *to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in *the present age,

2 *so as to live for *the rest of the time in the flesh *no longer for human passions but *for the will of God. 3 For the time that is past *suffices *for doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry. 4 With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of *debauchery, and *they malign you; 5 but they will give account to him who is ready *to judge the living and the dead. 6 For this is why *the gospel was preached even to those who are dead, that though judged in the flesh the way people are, they might live in the spirit the way God does.

7 *The end of all things is at hand; therefore *be self-controlled and sober-minded *for the sake of your prayers.

8 *If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and *the truth is not in us. 9 *If we confess our sins, he is *faithful and just to forgive us our sins and *to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

13 Whoever *conceals his transgressions will not prosper,

but he who *confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.

19 Or *do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? *You are not your own,

9 Or do you not know that the unrighteous* will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: *neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality,*10 nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And *such were some of you. But *you were washed, *you were sanctified, *you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

18 And *do not get drunk with wine, for that is *debauchery, but *be filled with the Spirit,

1 *Wine is a mocker, *strong drink a brawler,

and whoever *is led astray by it is not wise.*

23 No longer drink only water, but *use a little wine *for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.

16 For all that is in the world—*the desires of the flesh and *the desires of the eyes and pride of life*—is not from the Father but is from the world.

8 *Be sober-minded; *be watchful. Your *adversary the devil *prowls around *like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

13 "You are the salt of the earth, *but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet.

13 And *lead us not into temptation,

but *deliver us from *evil.*

11 for it is written,

*"As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to me,

and every tongue shall confess* to God."

12 So then *each of us will give an account of himself to God.
