    5For those who are living in the way of the flesh give their minds to the things of the flesh, but those who go in the way of the Spirit, to the things of the Spirit.

    6For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:

    7Because the mind of the flesh is opposite to God; it is not under the law of God, and is not able to be:

    8So that those who are in the flesh are not able to give pleasure to God.

    9You are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God is in you. But if any man has not the Spirit of Christ he is not one of 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 him who made Jesus come again from the dead is in you, he who made Christ Jesus come again from the dead will in the same way, through his Spirit which is in you, give life to your bodies which now are under the power of death.

    12So then, my brothers, we are in debt, not to the flesh to be living in the way of the flesh:

    13For if you go in the way of the flesh, death will come on you; but if by the Spirit you put to death the works of the body, you will have life.

    14And all those who are guided by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

    4In the same way, my brothers, you were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, even to him who came again from the dead, so that we might give fruit to God.

    6But now we are free from the law, having been made dead to that which had power over us; so that we are servants in the new way of the spirit, not in the old way of the letter.
