⁶ For to set ^(A)the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. ⁷ For the mind that is set on the flesh is ^(B)hostile to God, for it does not submit to God's law; ^(C)indeed, it cannot. ⁸ Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

⁹ You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact ^(D)the Spirit of God dwells in you. ^(E)Anyone who does not have ^(F)the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.

^2 (A)Do not be conformed to this world,^[a] but be transformed by ^(B)the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may ^(C)discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.^[b]
