Romans 8:2-14

2For 1the law of the Spirit of life 2in 3Christ Jesus 4has set you free from the law of sin and of death. 3For 5what the Law could not do, 67weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in 8the likeness of 9sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, 4so that the 10requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who 11do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on 12the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, 13the things of the Spirit. 614For the mind set on the flesh is 15death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, 7because the mind set on the flesh is 16hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, 8and those who are 17in the flesh cannot please God.

9However, you are not 18in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God 19dwells in you. But 20if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. 1021If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is 22alive because of righteousness. 11But if the Spirit of Him who 23raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, 24He who raised 25Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies 26through His Spirit who dwells in you.

12So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh-- 13for 27if you are living according to the flesh, you 28must die; but if by the Spirit you are 29putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14For all who are 30being led by the Spirit of God, these are 31sons of God.
