THE LIFE-GIVING SPIRIT

8Therefore, there is now no condemnationak for those inal Christ Jesus,Gam 2because the law* of the Spirit of lifean in Christ Jesus has set youH free from the law* of sin and death.ao 3For what the law could not doap since it was weakened by the flesh,aq God did. He condemned sin in the flesh by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful fleshar as a sin offering,Ias 4in order that the law’s requirement would be fulfilledat in us who do not walk according to the flesha but according to the Spirit. 5For those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on the things of the flesh,b but those who live according to the Spirit have their minds set on the things of the Spirit. 6Now the mindset of the fleshc is death,d but the mindset of the Spirit is life and peace. 7The mindset of the flesh is hostilee to God because it does not submit to God’s law. Indeed, it is unable to do so. 8Those who are in the fleshf cannot please God. 9You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you.g If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,h he does not belong to him. 10Now if Christ is in you,i the body is dead because of sin, but the SpiritA gives lifeB because of righteousness. 11And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the deadj lives in you, then he who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life throughC his Spirit who lives in you.

THE HOLY SPIRIT’S MINISTRIES

12So then, brothers and sisters, we are not obligated to the flesh to live according to the flesh, 13because if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body,k you will live. 14For all those led by God’s Spiritl are God’s sons.m 15For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear.n Instead, you received the Spirit of adoption,o by whom we cry out, “Abba,D Father!”p 16The Spirit himself testifies together with our spiritq that we are God’s children, 17and if children, also heirsr—heirs of God and coheirs with Christ—if indeed we suffer with hims so that we may also be glorified with him.
