1 Då nu Kristus har lidit till köttet, så väpnen ock I eder med samma sinne; ty den som har lidit till köttet har icke längre något att skaffa med synd.

2 Och leven sedan, under den tid som återstår eder här i köttet, icke mer efter människors onda begärelser, utan efter Guds vilja.

1 What is the cause of wars and fighting among you? is it not in your desires which are at war in your bodies?

2 You are burning with desire, and have not your desire, so you put men to death; you are full of envy, and you are not able to get your desire, so you are fighting and making war; you have not your desire, because you do not make request for it.
