Romans 8:10

Romans 8:10

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.

Romans 8:11 >>

Romans 8:10 If Christ [be] in you. Christ is in us by his Spirit. Notice that the indwelling of the Spirit of God, having the Spirit of Christ, belonging to Christ, having Christ in us, are all varied expressions of the same great fact. The body [is] dead because of sin. Our bodies have died physically because death came into the world through sin. But the Spirit [is] life. Our spirit is made alive by union with Christ, and partaking of his righteousness.
