Rom 8:5-8 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, nor indeed can be. So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
Mt 13:15 For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.'
Act 20:35 "I have shown you in every way, by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive."

When we hear that we are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in it, do we become complacent after hearing this? I think God wants to live among us. If there are no us, then where will God live? But if you think about it carefully, what does God say about you? The place where God is must be holy, but for the people of the world, that is, those who live in the flesh all day long, will God live in it? ? The answer is obvious. Only those who walk in the light, that is, do the will of God, are those whom God loves, and are those in whom Jesus Christ dwells. These are the people God says are you. And once God comes in, we must not be complacent, but must be cautious and fearful, because as long as there are some dirty things, God will go away from us. We must be very careful about these things. A331

Renewed in Grace
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
