Free from Indwelling Sin
8There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, awho 1do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. 2For bthe law of cthe Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from dthe law of sin and death. 3For ewhat the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, fGod did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, 4that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who gdo not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. 5For hthose who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, ithe things of the Spirit. 6For jto be 2carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. 7Because kthe 3carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, lnor indeed can be. 8So then, those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
9But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His. 10And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness. 11But if the Spirit of mHim who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, nHe who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies 4through His Spirit who dwells in you.
Sonship Through the Spirit
12oTherefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13For pif you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you qput to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14For ras many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15For syou did not receive the spirit of bondage again tto fear, but you received the uSpirit of adoption by whom we cry out, v“Abba, 5Father.” 16wThe Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17and if children, then xheirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, yif indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.
