Romans 8:5-9

5

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 fleshG45611 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.
