Romans 8:3-5

Life in the Spirit

³ For _j God has done what the law, _k weakened by the flesh, _l could not do. _m By sending his own Son _n in the likeness of sinful flesh and _o for sin, ₁ he condemned sin in the flesh, ⁴ in order that _p the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, _q who walk not according to the flesh but according to 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.
