Romans 8:7 - Forerunner Commentary

Romans 8:7

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

6 For ^ato be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7 Because ^athe carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the law of God, ^bnor indeed can be.

8 So then, 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 dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

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

11 But if the Spirit of ^aHim who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, ^bHe who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies¹ through His Spirit who dwells in you.

Sonship Through the Spirit

12 ^aTherefore, brethren, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

13 For ^aif you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you ^bput to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

14 For ^aas many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
