Romans 8:3-9

3ForG1063 whatG3588 the lawG3588G3551 could not doG102, inG1722 thatG3739 it was weakG770 throughG1223 the fleshG3588G4561, GodG3588G2316 sendingG3992 his ownG1438 SonG5207 inG1722 the likenessG3667 of sinfulG266 fleshG4561, andG2532 forG4012 sinG266, condemnedG2632 sinG3588G266 inG1722 the fleshG3588G4561: 4ThatG2443 the righteousnessG3588G1345 of the lawG3588G3551 might be fulfilledG4137 inG1722 usG1473, who walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151. 5

ForG1063 they that areG1510 afterG2596 the fleshG4561 do mindG5426 the thingsG3588 of the fleshG3588G4561; butG1161 they that areG3588 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151 the thingsG3588 of the SpiritG3588G4151. 6ForG1063 to beG5427 carnallyG3588G4561 mindedG5427 is deathG2288; butG1161 to beG5427 spirituallyG3588G4151 mindedG5427 is lifeG2222 andG2532 peaceG1515. 7BecauseG1360 the carnalG3588G4561 mindG3588G5427 is enmityG2189 againstG1519 GodG2316: forG1063 it isG5293 notG3756 subjectG5293 to the lawG3551 of GodG3588G2316, neitherG3761 indeedG1063 can beG1410. 8So thenG1161 they that areG1510 inG1722 the fleshG4561 cannotG1410 pleaseG700 GodG2316.

9ButG1161 yeG4771 areG1510 notG3756 inG1722 the fleshG4561, butG235 inG1722 the SpiritG4151, if so be thatG1512 the SpiritG4151 of GodG2316 dwellG3611 inG1722 youG4771. NowG1161 ifG1487 any manG5100 haveG2192 notG3756 the SpiritG4151 of ChristG5547, heG3778 isG1510 noneG3756 of hisG846.
