⁸Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.^* ²For the law of the Spiritⁱ of life in Christ Jesus has set you^j free from the law of sin and of death.^* ³For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and to deal with sin,^k he condemned sin in the flesh,^* ⁴so that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.^l^* ⁵For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit^m set their minds on the things of the Spirit.ⁿ^* ⁶To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit^o is life and peace.^* ⁷For this reason the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law—indeed, it cannot,^* ⁸and those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

⁹But you are not in the flesh; you are in the Spirit,^p since the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.^* ¹⁰But if Christ is in you, then the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit^q is life because of righteousness. ¹¹If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus^r from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through^s his Spirit that dwells in you.^*

¹²So then, brothers and sisters, we are obligated, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh—¹³for if you live according to the flesh, you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.^* ¹⁴For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.^* ¹⁵For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, “Abba!^t Father!”^* ¹⁶it is that very Spirit bearing witness^u with our spirit that we are children of God,^* ¹⁷and if children, then heirs: heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if we in fact suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.^*
