Romans 8:9-17 NAS
However, you are not in
the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in
you. But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not
belong to Him. If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because
of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness. But if the
Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised
Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies
through His Spirit who dwells in you.
So
then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live
according to the flesh -- for if you are living according to the flesh,
you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of
the body, you will live. For all who are being led by the Spirit of
God, these are sons of God. For you have not received a spirit of
slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption
as sons by which we cry out, "Abba! Father!" The
Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and
if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if
indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.
