Led by the Spirit

Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation--but it
is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it. For if you live according
to the sinful nature, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the
misdeeds of the body, you will live, because those who are led by the Spirit of
God are sons of God.

Romans 8:12-14 NIV

But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite
thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue
thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And
whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Give to him that
asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.


Matthew 5:39-42 KJV

And He said to
them, "Truly I say to you, there is no one who has left house or wife or
brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the kingdom of God, who will
not receive many times as much at this time and in the age to come, eternal
life."

Luke 18:29,30 NASB

So put to
death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with
sexual sin, impurity, lust, and shameful desires. Don't be greedy for the good
things of this life, for that is idolatry. God's terrible anger will come upon
those who do such things. You used to do them when your life was still part of
this world. But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior,
slander, and dirty language.

Colossians 3:5-8 NLT
