5For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, on the things of the Spirit.

6For the mindset of the flesh is death, but the mindset of the Spirit is life and peace.

7because the mindset of the flesh is hostility toward God, for it does not submit to the law of God, for it is not even able.

8Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

9But 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 Messiah, he does not belong to him.

10But if the Messiah is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is life because of righteousness.

11And if the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, the one who raised Messiah Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit dwelling in you.
