Life in the Spirit

Romans 8

1 So that now, there is no condemnation to those who are in Christ, Jesus, who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ, Jesus, has made me free from the law of sin and death. 3 For that which was impossible to the law, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh 4 that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 5 For those that are according to the flesh know the things that are of the flesh; but those that are according to the Spirit, the things that are of the Spirit. 6 For the prudence of the flesh is death, but the prudence of the Spirit, life and peace, 7 because the prudence of the flesh is enmity against God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, neither indeed can it. 8 So then, those that are carnal cannot please God.

9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, because the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, that person is not of him. 10 But if Christ is in you, the body is truly dead because of sin, but the Spirit is alive because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised up the Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in you.
