Romans 13:14 Douay-Rheims

But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh in its concupiscences.

Augustine of Hippo

A.D. 354–430 Patristic

Provision for the flesh is not to be condemned if it has to do with the needs of bodily health. But if it is a question of unnecessary delights or luxuries, a person who enjoys the delights of the flesh is rightly chastised. For in that case he makes provision for the desires of the flesh, and "he who sows in the flesh will reap corruption in the flesh."
