You also are among them, called to belong to Jesus Christ.

Just as you were formerly disobedient to God, but have now received mercy due to their disobedience,

So you too consider yourselves dead to sin, but alive to God in Christ Jesus.

“And in the very place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ there they will be called ‘sons of the living God.’”

Now I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who create dissensions and obstacles contrary to the teaching that you learned. Avoid them!

So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you could be joined to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, to bear fruit to God.

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.
