14
But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no plans to satisfy the fleshly desires.
Romans 13:14 In-Context
12
The night is nearly over; the day is almost here. So let us put aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.
13
Let us behave decently, as in the daytime, not in carousing and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and debauchery, not in dissension and jealousy.
14
Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh.

In contexts like this, the Greek word for "flesh" ("sarx" ) refers to the sinful state of human beings, often presented as a power in opposition to the Spirit.
