Romans 8:4–13

⁴so that the ^arighteous requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who ^bdo not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

⁵For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on ^athe things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, ^bthe things of the Spirit.

^6aFor the mind set on the flesh is ^bdeath, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,

⁷because the mind set on the flesh is at ^aenmity toward God, for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so,

⁸and those who are ^ain the flesh are not able to please God.

⁹However, you are not ^ain the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God ^bdwells in you. But ^cif anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.

^10aBut if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is ¹alive because of righteousness.

¹¹But if the Spirit of Him who ^araised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, ^bHe who raised ^cChrist Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies ¹through His Spirit who dwells in you.

¹²So then, brothers, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh—

¹³for ^aif you are living according to the flesh, you ¹must die, but if by the Spirit you are ^bputting to death the ^cpractices of the body, you will live.
