Romans 8:12–13

8:12 So then,13 brothers and sisters,14 we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh 8:13 (for if you live according to the flesh, you will15 die),16 but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live.

13	tn There is a double connective here that cannot be easily preserved in English: “consequently therefore,” emphasizing the conclusion of what he has been arguing.
14	tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:13.
15	tn Grk “are about to, are certainly going to.”
16	sn This remark is parenthetical to Paul’s argument.
