Mortify Yourself

Instructions:

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: (Col 3:5)

You must put to death, then, the earthly desires at work in you, such as sexual immorality, indecency, lust, evil passions, and greed (for greed is a form of idolatry). (Col 3:5 Good News Bible)

Warning:

Because of such things God's anger will come upon those who do not obey him. (Col 3:6)

Appeal:

But now you must get rid of all these things: anger, passion, and hateful feelings. No insults or obscene talk must ever come from your lips. Do not lie to one another, for you have put off the old self with its habits (Col 3:9-9)

Summing Up All:

Mortify yourself (put to death the work of your flesh)by surpassing the Law "NOW" which is the Ten Commandments (Mat 5:17-20)
