Romans 8:5-13

Life in the Spirit

⁵ For _r those who live according to the flesh set their minds on _s the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on _t the things of the Spirit. ⁶ For to set _u the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. ⁷ For the mind that is set on the flesh is _v hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; _w indeed, it cannot. ⁸ Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

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.
