Romans 13:14 (NAS)
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh in regard to its lusts.

Romans 13:14 (NRSV)
Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.

Romans 13:14 (Philips)
Let us be Christ’s men from head to foot, and give no chances to the flesh to have its fling.

At one time you made a decision to let someone else take ownership of your life. Now He has the right to decide for you. Yeshua (Jesus Christ), your Messiah, is your Lord and Master. He is the One who has determined your destiny.

You, however, must allow this decision to control your life. Daily you should choose to live in line with what Jehovah has determined. You must decide to put on Jesus daily, clothing yourself in His nature. You should not even give a thought to doing anything that is in opposition to Him. Do not provide a way for sin to rule your life, as it once did. Do not let any craving, desire, or longing for something forbidden lodge in your mind. You have chosen to do right and act well; let nothing turn you back from that path.
