• 1 Corinthians 6:19

  Or don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,

  Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

  for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth,

• Ephesians 5:10

  proving what is well pleasing to the Lord.
