New Testament

Romans 8:6-13 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

6. For the mind-set of the flesh is death, but the mind-set of the Spirit is life and peace.

7. For the mind-set of the flesh is hostile to God because it does not submit itself to God’s law, for it is unable to do so.

8. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

9. You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God lives in you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.

10. Now if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

11. 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.

12. So then, brothers, we are not obligated to the flesh to live according to the flesh,

13. for 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.
