7because the mindset of the flesh represents enmity against God, since it does not submit to God's law, nor indeed can it.
8So, those who are ‘in flesh’ cannot please God.
9You, however, are not ‘in flesh’ but ‘in Spirit’, if indeed God's Spirit dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.
10But if Christ is in you, the body is dead through sin, but the Spirit is life through righteousness.
11And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, then He who raised the Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of His Spirit who dwells in you.
12So then, brothers, we have no obligation to the flesh, to live according to it;
13because if you live according to the flesh, you are about to die; but if you put to death the practices of the body, by the Spirit, you will live.
14Because as many as are led by God's Spirit, these are God's sons
15—you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fear all over again, but you did receive the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father!”
