Flee youthful lusts

For we ourselves also were sometimes foolish, disobedient, deceived,
serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy,
hateful, and hating one another. But after that the kindness and love
of God our Saviour toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness
which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the
washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed
on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour.


Titus 3:3-6 KJV

They said to you, "In the last times there will be scoffers who will
follow their own ungodly desires." These are the men who divide you,
who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit. But you,
dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in
the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the
mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.


Jude 18-21 NIV

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire
of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and
the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one
another, so that you may not do the things that you please.


Galatians 5:16,17 NASB

We should be decent and true in everything we do, so that everyone can
approve of our behavior. Don't participate in wild parties and getting
drunk, or in adultery and immoral living, or in fighting and jealousy.
But let the Lord Jesus Christ take control of you, and don't think of
ways to indulge your evil desires.


Romans 13:13,14 NLT
