Romans 8:2-14

2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and of death.

3For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, 1God, having sent his own Son, in likeness of flesh of sin, and for sin, has condemned sin in the flesh,

4in order that the righteous requirement of the law should be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to flesh but according to Spirit.

5For they that are according to flesh mind the things of the flesh; and they that are according to Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

6For the mind of the flesh [is] death; but the mind of the Spirit life and peace.

7Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against 2God: for it is not subject to the law of 3God; for neither indeed can it be:

8and they that are in flesh cannot please 4God.

9But ye are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed 5God's Spirit dwell in you; but if any one has not [the] Spirit of Christ he is not of him:

10but if Christ be in you, the body is dead on account of sin, but the Spirit life on account of righteousness.

11But if the Spirit of him that has raised up Jesus from among [the] dead dwell in you, he that has raised up Christ from among [the] dead shall quicken your mortal bodies also on account of his Spirit which dwells in you.

12So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to flesh;

13for if ye live according to flesh, ye are about to die; but if, by the Spirit, ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live:

14for as many as are led by [the] Spirit of 6God, these are sons of 7God.
