Romans 8:1-9 ▼

1 THERE is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath liberated me from the law of sin and of death.

3 For that which was impossible by the law, inasmuch as it was impotent through the flesh, God having sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in that flesh:

4 that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled by us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

5 For they who are after the flesh, mind the things of the flesh; but they who are after the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

7 Because the propensity of the flesh is inimical against God: for it is not in subjection to the law of God, neither indeed can it be.

8 They then who are in the flesh, cannot please God.

9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.
