Romans 8

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.

⁸ Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God.

⁹ You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.

¹⁰ But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.
