Context
The Believer’s Relationship to the Holy Spirit
8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus .
8:2 For the law of the life-giving Spirit in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death .
8:3 For God achieved what the law could not do because it was weakened through the flesh . By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin , he condemned sin in the flesh ,
8:4 so that the righteous requirement of the law may be fulfilled in us , who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit .
8:5 For those who live according to the flesh have their outlook shaped by the things of the flesh , but those who live according to the Spirit have their outlook shaped by the things of the Spirit .
8:6 For the outlook of the flesh is death , but the outlook of the Spirit is life and peace ,
8:7 because the outlook of the flesh is hostile to God , for it does not submit to the law of God , nor is it able to do so.
8:8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God .
8:9 You , however , are not in the flesh but in the Spirit , if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you . Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ , this person does not belong to him .
8:10 But if Christ is in you , your body is dead because of sin , but the Spirit is your life because of righteousness .
8:11 Moreover if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you , the one who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies alive through his Spirit who lives in you .
8:12 So then , brothers and sisters , we are under obligation , not to the flesh , to live according to the flesh
8:13 (for if you live according to the flesh , you will die ), but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live .
8:14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are the sons of God .
