3For what the law was not able to do because it was feeble through the flesh, God, sending his Son in the image of the evil flesh, and as an offering for sin, gave his decision against sin in the flesh:
4So that what was ordered by the law might be done in us, who are living, not in the way of the flesh, but in the way of the Spirit.
5For those who are living in the way of the flesh give their minds to the things of the flesh, but those who go in the way of the Spirit, to the things of the Spirit.
6For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:
7Because the mind of the flesh is opposite to God; it is not under the law of God, and is not able to be:
8So that those who are in the flesh are not able to give pleasure to God.
9You are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God is in you. But if any man has not the Spirit of Christ he is not one of his.
