    5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

    6 The mindset of the flesh is death, but the mindset of the Spirit is life and peace.

    7 Because the mindset of the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so.

    8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

    9 But 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.

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

    11 And 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.

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

    13 For 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.

    14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God.
