1 Peter 2:11-12

11Beloved, I urge you aas sojourners and exiles bto abstain from the passions of the flesh, cwhich wage war against your soul. 12 dKeep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, ethey may see your good deeds and glorify God on fthe day of visitation.

1 Peter 4:2-5

2 gso as to live for hthe rest of the time in the flesh ino longer for human passions but jfor the will of God. 3For the time that is past ksuffices lfor doing what the Gentiles want to do, living in sensuality, passions, drunkenness, orgies, drinking parties, and lawless idolatry. 4With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of mdebauchery, and nthey malign you; 5but they will give account to him who is ready oto judge the living and the dead.

2 Peter 1:4

4by which he has granted to us his precious and very great promises, so that through them you may become ppartakers of the divine nature, qhaving escaped from the corruption that is in the world because of sinful desire.

2 Peter 2:20-22

20For if, rafter they have escaped the defilements of the world sthrough the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, tthe last state has become worse for them than the first. 21For uit would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from vthe holy commandment delivered to them. 22What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The wdog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.”

1 John 2:15-17

Do Not Love the World

15 xDo not love the world or the things in the world. yIf anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16For all that is in the worldzthe desires of the flesh and aathe desires of the eyes and pride of life
Or  pride in possessions
is not from the Father but is from the world.
17And acthe world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

Jude 18

18They
Or  Christ, because they
said to you, aeIn the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.”
