⁵Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires;^s but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.^t ⁶The mind governed by the flesh is death,^u but the mind governed by the Spirit is life^v and peace. ⁷The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God;^w it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. ⁸Those who are in the realm of the flesh^x cannot please God.

⁹You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh^y but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you.^z And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,^a they do not belong to Christ. ¹⁰But if Christ is in you,^b then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life^d because of righteousness. ¹¹And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead^c is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies^d because of^e his Spirit who lives in you.

¹²Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.^e ¹³For if you live according to the flesh, you will die;^f but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body,^g you will live.^h
