Romans 8:13
Compare all
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.  
15 For ayou did not receive the spirit of bondage again bto fear, but you received the cSpirit of adoption by whom we cry out, d“Abba, Father.”  
16 aThe Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God,  
17 and if children, then aheirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, bif indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.  

From Suffering to Glory

18 For I consider that athe sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.  
19 For athe earnest expectation of the creation eagerly waits for the revealing of the sons of God.  
20 For athe creation was subjected to futility, not willingly, but because of Him who subjected it in hope;

Romans 8:13

For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die - Though may mean, ye shall afterwards die, and this seems to indicate a temporal death, yet not exclusively of an eternal death; for both, and especially the latter, are necessarily implied.

But if ye through the Spirit - If ye seek that grace and spiritual help which the Gospel of Christ furnishes, resist, and, by resisting, mortify the deeds of the flesh, against which the law gave you no assistance, ye shall live a life of faith, love, and holy obedience here, and a life of glory hereafter.
