Romans 8:2-14
2For 1the lawG3551 of the SpiritG4151 of lifeG2222 2in 3ChristG5547 JesusG2424 4has setG1659 you freeG1659 from the lawG3551 of sinG266 and of deathG2288. 3For 5whatG102 the LawG3551 couldG102 not do, 67weakG770 as it was throughG1223 the fleshG4561, GodG2316 did: sendingG3992 His ownG1438 SonG5207 in 8the likenessG3667 of 9sinfulG266 fleshG4561 and as an offering for sinG266, He condemnedG2632 sinG266 in the fleshG4561, 4soG2443 that the 10requirementG1345 of the LawG3551 might be fulfilledG4137 in us, who 11do not walkG4043 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561 but accordingG2596 to the SpiritG4151. 5For thoseG3588 who are accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561 setG5426 their mindsG5426 on 12the things of the fleshG4561, but thoseG3588 who are accordingG2596 to the SpiritG4151, 13the things of the SpiritG4151. 614For the mindG5427 setG5427 on the fleshG4561 is 15deathG2288, but the mindG5427 setG5427 on the SpiritG4151 is lifeG2222 and peaceG1515, 7becauseG1360 the mindG5427 setG5427 on the fleshG4561 is 16hostileG2189 towardG1519 GodG2316; for it does not subjectG5293 itself to the lawG3551 of GodG2316, for it is not evenG3761 ableG1410 to do so, 8and thoseG3588 who are 17in the fleshG4561 cannotG1410G3756 pleaseG700 GodG2316.
9HoweverG1161, you are not 18in the fleshG4561 but in the SpiritG4151, ifG1512 indeedG1512 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 19dwellsG3611 in you. But 20ifG1487 anyoneG5100 does not haveG2192 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547, he does not belongG1510 to Him. 1021IfG1487 ChristG5547 is in you, thoughG3303 the bodyG4983 is deadG3498 becauseG1223 of sinG266, yetG1161 the spiritG4151 is 22aliveG2222 becauseG1223 of righteousnessG1343. 11But ifG1487 the SpiritG4151 of Him who 23raisedG1453 JesusG2424 from the deadG3498 dwellsG3611 in you, 24He who raisedG1453 25ChristG5547 JesusG2424 from the deadG3498 will alsoG2532 giveG2227 lifeG2227 to your mortalG2349 bodiesG4983 26throughG1223 His SpiritG4151 who dwellsG3611 in you.
12SoG686 thenG686, brethrenG80, we are underG3781 obligationG3781, not to the fleshG4561, to liveG2198 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561-- 13for 27ifG1487 you are livingG2198 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561, you 28mustG3195 dieG599; but ifG1487 by the SpiritG4151 you are 29puttingG2289 to deathG2289 the deedsG4234 of the bodyG4983, you will liveG2198. 14For allG3745 whoG3745 are 30being ledG71 by the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, theseG3778 are 31sonsG5207 of GodG2316.
