Romans 8:1-13

The Spirit of God Dwells in You

Therefore there is now no ^acondemnation for those who are ^bin ^cChrist Jesus. 2 For ^athe law of the Spirit of life ¹in ^bChrist Jesus ^chas set you free from the law of sin and of death. 3 For ^awhat the Law could not do, ¹^bweak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in ^cthe likeness of ²sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 so 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. 5 For 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. 6 ^aFor the mind set on the flesh is ^bdeath, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace, 7 because 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, 8 and those who are ^ain the flesh are not able to please God.
9 However, 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. 10 ^aBut if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is ¹alive because of righteousness. 11 But 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.
12 So then, brothers, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— 13 for ^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.
