    9But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Him.

    10But if Christ is in you, even though the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness.

    11And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who lives in you.

    12So then, brothers and sisters, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to it.

    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.
