Romans 8:3-13

New International Version

³ For what the law was powerless^(A) to do because it was weakened by the flesh,^[a](B) God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh^(C) to be a sin offering.^[b](D) And so he condemned sin in the flesh, ⁴ in order that the righteous requirement^(E) of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.^(F)

⁵ Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires;^(G) but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.^{(H) 6} The mind governed by the flesh is death,^(I) but the mind governed by the Spirit is life^(J) and peace. ⁷ The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God;^(K) it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. ⁸ Those who are in the realm of the flesh^(L) cannot please God.

⁹ You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh^(M) but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you.^(N) And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,^(O) they do not belong to Christ. ¹⁰ But if Christ is in you,^(P) then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life^[c] because of righteousness. ¹¹ And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead^(Q) is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies^(R) because of^[d] his Spirit who lives in you.

¹² Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.^{(S) 13} For if you live according to the flesh, you will die;^(T) but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body,^(U) you will live.^(V)
