For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, so also the Son gives life to whomever he wishes.

For just as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.

Fool! What you sow will not come to life unless it dies.

So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living person”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

who made us adequate to be servants of a new covenant not based on the letter but on the Spirit, for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.

Because Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, to bring you to God, by being put to death in the flesh but by being made alive in the spirit.

The Spirit is the one who gives life; human nature is of no help! The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

(as it is written, “I have made you the father of many nations”). He is our father in the presence of God whom he believed – the God who makes the dead alive and summons the things that do not yet exist as though they already do.

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.

Is the law therefore opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that was able to give life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law.
