Book ◦ Chapter

Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ
This phrase calls believers to adopt the character and virtues of Jesus Christ, akin to putting on a garment. In biblical times, clothing often symbolized identity and status. By "clothing" oneself with Christ, a believer is called to embody His teachings, love, and righteousness. This concept is echoed inGalatians 3:27, where Paul states that those baptized into Christ have "clothed" themselves with Him. The imagery suggests a transformation and a new identity in Christ, emphasizing the importance of living a life that reflects His values and teachings.

and make no provision for the desires of the flesh
This part of the verse warns against planning or providing opportunities to fulfill sinful desires. The "flesh" in biblical terms often refers to the sinful nature of humanity, which is in opposition to the Spirit. In the cultural context of the Roman Empire, where indulgence in various desires was common, this instruction would have been countercultural. It aligns withGalatians 5:16-17, where Paul advises walking by the Spirit to avoid gratifying the desires of the flesh. The call is to live a disciplined life, avoiding situations that might lead to sin, and instead focusing on spiritual growth and holiness.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(14)Put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ.--A continuation of the metaphor introduced inRomans 13:12. So invest and identify yourselves with the spirit of Christ as to reproduce it in your outward walk and conduct.

Make not provision for the flesh.--Take no thought for the flesh, so as to supply a stimulus to its lusts. A life of luxury and self-indulgence is apt to excite those fleshly impulses which the Christian should try rather to mortify. He therefore warns his readers not to give their thoughts to such things.
