Romans 8:2-14

2ForG1063 inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 theG3588 lawG3551 of theG3588 SpiritG4151 ofG3588 lifeG2222 set youG47711 freeG1659 fromG575 theG3588 lawG3551 of sinG266 andG2532 deathG2288. 3ForG1063 whatG3588 theG3588 lawG3551 was powerless to doG102 inG1722 thatG3739 it was weakenedG770 byG1223 theG3588 fleshG4561, GodG2316 did by sendingG3992 HisG1438 own SonG5207 inG1722 the likenessG3667 of sinfulG266 manG4561, as an offering forG4012 sinG266.2 He thus condemnedG2632 sinG266 inG1722 theG3588 fleshG4561, 4so thatG2443 theG3588 righteous standardG1345 of theG3588 lawG3551 might be fulfilledG4137 inG1722 usG1473, whoG3588 do notG3361 walkG4043 according toG2596 the fleshG4561 butG235 according toG2596 the SpiritG4151.

ThoseG3588 who liveG1510 according toG2596 the fleshG4561 set their mindsG5426 on the thingsG3588 of theG3588 fleshG4561; butG1161 thoseG3588 who live according toG2596 the SpiritG4151 set their minds on the thingsG3588 of theG3588 SpiritG4151. 6TheG3588 mindG5427 of theG3588 fleshG4561 is deathG2288, butG1161 theG3588 mindG5427 of theG3588 SpiritG4151 is lifeG2222 andG2532 peaceG1515, 7becauseG1360 theG3588 mindG5427 of theG3588 fleshG4561 is hostileG2189 toG1519 GodG2316: It does not submitG3756G5293 toG3588 God’sG2316 lawG3551, norG1063G3761 can itG1410 do so. 8ThoseG3588 controlled byG1722 the fleshG45613 cannotG3756G1410 pleaseG700 GodG2316.

9YouG4771, howeverG1161, areG1510 controlled not byG3756G1722 the fleshG4561, butG235 byG1722 the SpiritG4151, ifG1512 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 livesG3611 inG1722 youG4771. AndG1161 ifG1487 anyoneG5100 does notG3756 haveG2192 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547, heG3778 does notG3756 belongG1510 toG846 Christ. 10ButG1161 ifG1487 ChristG5547 is inG1722 youG4771, your bodyG4983 is deadG3498 because ofG1223 sinG266, yetG1161 your spiritG4151 is aliveG22224 because ofG1223 righteousnessG1343. 11AndG1161 ifG1487 theG3588 SpiritG4151 of HimG3588 who raisedG1453 JesusG2424 fromG1537 the deadG3498 is livingG3611 inG1722 youG4771, He whoG3588 raisedG1453 ChristG5547 JesusG2424 fromG1537 the deadG34985 will also give lifeG2532G2227 to yourG4771 mortalG2349 bodiesG4983 throughG1223 HisG846 SpiritG4151, whoG3588 livesG1774 inG1722 youG4771.

12ThereforeG686G3767, brothersG80, we haveG1510 an obligationG3781, but it is notG3756 to theG3588 fleshG4561, to liveG2198 according toG2596 it. 13ForG1063 ifG1487 you liveG2198 according toG2596 the fleshG4561, you willG3195 dieG599; butG1161 ifG1487 by the SpiritG4151 you put to deathG2289 theG3588 deedsG4234 of theG3588 bodyG4983, you will liveG2198. 14ForG1063 all whoG3745 are ledG71 by the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 areG1510 sonsG5207 of GodG2316.
