Romans 8:13 But if ye through the Spirit. By following the Spirit, "minding the things of the Spirit" (Romans 8:5), we secure life. This is shown in Romans 8:11. The deeds of the body are the sinful deeds suggested by the fleshly desires. We cannot in our own strength "mortify", i.e., put an end to, "the deeds of the body". It is accomplished by the aid of the Spirit, helping our spirit in the effort.
