1 Peter 4 1-1 Peter 4 3
Therefore, since Christ suffered in the flesh, equip yourselves also with the same resolve— because the one who suffered in the flesh has finished with sin—in order to live the remaining time in the flesh, no longer for human desires, but for God’s will.For there has already been enough time spent in doing what the pagans choose to do: carrying on in unrestrained behavior, evil desires, drunkenness, orgies, carousing, and lawless idolatry.

Romans 7:4-6
Therefore, my brothers, you also were put to death in relation to the law through the crucified body of the Messiah, so that you may belong to another— to Him who was raised from the dead— that we may bear fruit for God.For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions operated through the law in every part of us and bore fruit for death.But now we have been released from the law, since we have died to what held us, so that we may serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old letter of the law.

I have given them Your word. The world hated them because they are not of the world, as I am not of the world.I am not praying that You take them out of the world but that You protect them from the evil one.They are not of the world, as I am not of the world.

Galatians 4:9-12
But now, since you know God, or rather have become known by God, how can you turn back again to the weak and bankrupt elemental forces? Do you want to be enslaved to them all over again?You observe special days, months, seasons, and years.I am fearful for you, that perhaps my labor for you has been wasted.I beg you, brothers: Become like me, for I also became like you. You have not wronged me;

Romans 6:2-11
Absolutely not! How can we who died to sin still live in it?Or are you unaware that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into His death?Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too may walk in a new way of life.For if we have been joined with Him in the likeness of His death, we will certainly also be in the likeness of His resurrection.For we know that our old self was crucified with Him in order that sin’s dominion over the body may be abolished, so that we may no longer be enslaved to sin,since a person who has died is freed from sin’s claims.Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we will also live with Him,because we know that Christ, having been raised from the dead, will not die again. Death no longer rules over Him.For in light of the fact that He died, He died to sin once for all; but in light of the fact that He lives, He lives to God.So, you too consider yourselves dead to sin but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

Colossians 3:3
