6. To be controlled by human nature results in death; to be controlled by the Spirit results in life and peace.
7. And so people become enemies of God when they are controlled by their human nature; for they do not obey God's law, and in fact they cannot obey it.
8. Those who obey their human nature cannot please God.
9. But you do not live as your human nature tells you to; instead, you live as the Spirit tells you to — if, in fact, God's Spirit lives in you. Whoever does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
10. But if Christ lives in you, the Spirit is life for you because you have been put right with God, even though your bodies are going to die because of sin.
11. If the Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from death, lives in you, then he who raised Christ from death will also give life to your mortal bodies by the presence of his Spirit in you.
12. So then, my brothers and sisters, we have an obligation, but it is not to live as our human nature wants us to.
13. For if you live according to your human nature, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you put to death your sinful actions, you will live.
