For those who are in accord with the flesh set their minds on ^(C1)the things of the flesh, but those who are in accord with the Spirit, ^(C2)the things of the Spirit.

^(C1)For the mind ^(F1)set on the flesh is ^(C2)death, but the mind ^(F1)set on the Spirit is life and peace,

because the mind ^(F1)set on the flesh is ^(C1)hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so,

and those who are ^(C1)in the flesh cannot please God.

However, you are not ^(C1)in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God ^(C2)dwells in you. But ^(C3)if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.

^(C1)If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is ^(F1)alive because of righteousness.

But if the Spirit of Him who ^(C1)raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, ^(C2)He who raised ^(C3)Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies ^(F1)through His Spirit who dwells in you.

So then, brothers and sisters, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh—

for ^(C1)if you are living in accord with the flesh, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you are ^(C2)putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

For all who are ^(C1)being led by the Spirit of God, these are ^(C2)sons and daughters of God.

For you ^(C1)have not received a spirit of slavery ^(F1)leading to fear again, but you ^(C2)have received ^(F2)a spirit of adoption as sons and daughters by which we cry out, "^(C3)Abba! ^(F3)Father!"

The Spirit Himself ^(C1)testifies with our spirit that we are ^(C2)children of God,

and if children, ^(C1)heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, ^(C2)if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.
