Spiritual Warfare Scriptures on How to Overcome the Carnal Mind.

Romans 8:2-13 (NIV)
²because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.
³For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man,
⁴in order that the righteous requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit.
⁵Those who live according to the sinful nature have their minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
⁶The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace;
⁷the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so.
⁸Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.
⁹You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.
¹⁰But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.
¹¹And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.
¹²Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation--but it is not to the sinful nature, to live according to it.
¹³For 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,

Romans 8:37 (NIV)
³⁷No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

Galatians 5:13-17 (NIV)
¹³You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature; rather, serve one another in love.
¹⁴The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
¹⁵If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.
¹⁶So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.
¹⁷For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want.

Romans 12:1-2 (NIV)
¹Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship.

1 Peter 1:13-15 (NIV)
¹³Therefore, prepare your minds for action; be self-controlled; set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed.

¹⁵But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;
