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.
