Romans 8:9-13

Life in the Spirit

9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact x the Spirit of God dwells in you. y Anyone who does not have z the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 10 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11 If the Spirit of a him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies b through his Spirit who dwells in you.

Heirs with Christ

12 So then, brothers, 1 we are debtors, c not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you d put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
