Romans 8:12-13

8:12 So then, ¹  brothers and sisters, ²  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 ³  die), ⁴  but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live.

[8:12]  ¹ tn There is a double connective here that cannot be easily preserved in English: “consequently therefore,” emphasizing the conclusion of what he has been arguing.

[8:12]  ² tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:13.

[8:13]  ³ tn Grk “are about to, are certainly going to.”

[8:13]  ⁴ sn This remark is parenthetical to Paul’s argument.
