Romans 8

³ For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in the flesh,

⁴ so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

⁵ Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh; but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.

⁶ The mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace,

⁷ because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.
