Galatians 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. I once heard of two men who, under the influence of liquor, came down one night to where their boat was tied; they wanted to return home, so they got in and began to row. When the grey dawn of morning broke, behold, they had never loosed the mooring line, or raised the anchor. And that's just the way with many who are striving to enter the kingdom of heaven. They cannot believe, because they are tied to this world. Cut the cord! Cut the cord! Set yourselves free from the clogging weight of earthly things, and you will soon go on toward heaven. (D. L. Moody.) Parallel Verses KJV: And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.WEB: Those who belong to Christ have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts. |
