Romans 8:5-17

For those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on the things of the flesh,  but those who live according to the Spirit have their minds set on the things of the Spirit. Now the mindset of the flesh  is death,  but the mindset of the Spirit is life and peace. The mindset of the flesh is hostile  to God because it does not submit to God’s law. Indeed, it is unable to do so. Those who are in the flesh  cannot please God. You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you.  If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,  he does not belong to him. Now if Christ is in you,  the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit  gives life  because of righteousness. And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead  lives in you, then he who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through  his Spirit who lives in you. So then, brothers and sisters, we are not obligated to the flesh to live according to the flesh, because if you live according to the flesh, you are going to die. But if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body,  you will live. For all those led by God’s Spirit  are God’s sons.  For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear.  Instead, you received the Spirit of adoption,  by whom we cry out, “ Abba ,  Father! ”  The Spirit himself testifies together with our spirit  that we are God’s children, and if children, also heirs   #— #heirs of God and coheirs with Christ #— #if indeed we suffer with him  so that we may also be glorified with him.
