3. For though this was impossible under the law, because it was weakened by the flesh, God sent his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and because of sin, in order to condemn sin in the flesh,
4. so that the justification of the law might be fulfilled in us. For we are not walking according to the flesh, but according to the spirit.
5. For those who are in agreement with the flesh are mindful of the things of the flesh. But those who are in agreement with the spirit are mindful of the things of the spirit.
6. For the prudence of the flesh is death. But the prudence of the spirit is life and peace.
7. And the wisdom of the flesh is inimical to God. For it is not subject to the law of God, nor can it be.
8. So those who are in the flesh are not able to please God.
9. And you are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, if it is true that the Spirit of God lives within you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him.
