Romans 8:3-14

3For 1what the Law could not do, 23weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in 4the likeness of 5sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, 4so that the 6requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who 7do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on 8the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, 9the things of the Spirit. 610For the mind set on the flesh is 11death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, 7because the mind set on the flesh is 12hostile 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 13in the flesh cannot please God.

9However, you are not 14in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God 15dwells in you. But 16if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him. 1017If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is 18alive because of righteousness. 11But if the Spirit of Him who 19raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, 20He who raised 21Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies 22through His Spirit who dwells in you.

12So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh-- 13for 23if you are living according to the flesh, you 24must die; but if by the Spirit you are 25putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14For all who are 26being led by the Spirit of God, these are 27sons of God.
