Romans 8:2-18

²For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and of death.

³For what was impossible for the law to do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and concerning sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,

⁴so that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

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

⁶For the mind set on the flesh is death, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace.

⁷Because the mind set on the flesh is hostile toward God; for it does not submit to the law of God, nor indeed can it.

⁸And those that are in the flesh cannot please God.

⁹But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

¹⁰But if Christ is in you, the body indeed is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is alive because of righteousness.

¹¹But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

¹²Therefore, brothers, we are debtors—not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

¹³For if you live according to the flesh you shall die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the practices of the body, you will live.

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

¹⁵For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again unto fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.”

¹⁶The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.

¹⁷And if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer together, so that we may also be glorified together.

¹⁸For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the coming glory to be revealed in us.
