Romans 8:3-14

3For 1whatG102 the LawG3551 couldG102 notG102 do, 23weakG770 as it was throughG1223 the fleshG4561, GodG2316 did: sendingG3992 His ownG1438 SonG5207 in 4the likenessG3667 of 5sinfulG266 fleshG4561 and as an offering for sinG266, He condemnedG2632 sinG266 in the fleshG4561, 4soG2443 thatG2443 the 6requirementG1345 of the LawG3551 might be fulfilledG4137 in us who 7do not walkG4043 8accordingG2596 toG2596 the fleshG4561 but 9accordingG2596 toG2596 the SpiritG4151. 5For thoseG3588 who are inG2596 accordG2596 withG2596 the fleshG4561 setG5426 their mindsG5426 onG5426 10the things of the fleshG4561, but thoseG3588 who are inG2596 accordG2596 withG2596 the SpiritG4151, 11the things of the SpiritG4151. 612For the mindG5427 13set on the fleshG4561 is 14deathG2288, but the mindG5427 15set on the SpiritG4151 is lifeG2222 and peaceG1515, 7becauseG1360 the mindG5427 16set on the fleshG4561 is 17hostileG2189 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 18in the fleshG4561 cannotG1410G3756 pleaseG700 GodG2316.

9HoweverG1161, you are not 19in the fleshG4561 but in the SpiritG4151, ifG1512 indeedG1512 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 20dwellsG3611 in you. But 21ifG1487 anyoneG5100 does not haveG2192 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547, he does not belongG1510 to Him. 1022IfG1487 ChristG5547 is in you, thoughG3303 the bodyG4983 is deadG3498 becauseG1223 of sinG266, yetG1161 the spiritG4151 is 23aliveG2222 becauseG1223 of righteousnessG1343. 11But ifG1487 the SpiritG4151 of Him who 24raisedG1453 JesusG2424 from the deadG3498 dwellsG3611 in you, 25He who raisedG1453 26ChristG5547 JesusG2424 from the deadG3498 will alsoG2532 giveG2227 lifeG2227 toG2227 your mortalG2349 bodiesG4983 27throughG1223 His SpiritG4151 who dwellsG3611 in you.

12SoG686 thenG3767, brothersG80 and sisters, we are underG3781 obligationG3781, not to the fleshG4561, to liveG2198 accordingG2596 to the fleshG4561-- 13for 28ifG1487 you are livingG2198 inG2596 accordG2596 withG2596 the fleshG4561, you areG3195 goingG3195 toG3195 dieG599; but ifG1487 by the SpiritG4151 you are 29puttingG2289 toG2289 deathG2289 the deedsG4234 of the bodyG4983, you will liveG2198. 14For allG3745 whoG3745 are 30being ledG71 by the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316, theseG3778 are 31sonsG5207 and daughters of GodG2316.
