For (A)God has done what the law, (B)weakened by the flesh, (C)could not do. (D)By sending his own Son (E)in the likeness of sinful flesh and (F)for sin,[a] he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that (G)the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, (H)who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. For (I)those who live according to the flesh set their minds on (J)the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on (K)the things of the Spirit. For to set (L)the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For the mind that is set on the flesh is (M)hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; (N)indeed, it cannot. Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact (O)the Spirit of God dwells in you. (P)Anyone who does not have (Q)the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. 10 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
