    47I tell you the solemn truth, the one who believes has eternal life.

    48I am the bread of life.

    49Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, and they died.

    50This is the bread that has come down from heaven, so that a person may eat from it and not die.

    51I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats from this bread he will live forever. The bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.”

    52Then the Jews who were hostile to Jesus began to argue with one another,“How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”

    53Jesus said to them,“I tell you the solemn truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in yourselves.

    54The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.

    55For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.

    56The one who eats my flesh and drinks my blood resides in me, and I in him.

    57Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so the one who consumes me will live because of me.

    58This is the bread that came down from heaven; it is not like the bread your ancestors ate, but then later died. The one who eats this bread will live forever.”

    9You, however, 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, this person does not belong to him.

    10But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is your life because of righteousness.

    11Moreover if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, the one who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through his Spirit who lives in you.

    12So then, brothers and sisters, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh

    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.
