7. Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God; for neither indeed can it be:
8. and they that are in flesh cannot please God.
9. But ye are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed God's Spirit dwell in you; but if any one has not the Spirit of Christ he is not of him:
10. but if Christ be in you, the body is dead on account of sin, but the Spirit life on account of righteousness.
11. But if the Spirit of him that has raised up Jesus from among the dead dwell in you, he that has raised up Christ from among the dead shall quicken your mortal bodies also on account of his Spirit which dwells in you.
12. So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to flesh;
13. for if ye live according to flesh, ye are about to die; but if, by the Spirit, ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live:
14. for as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.
15. For ye have not received a spirit of bondage again for fear, but ye have received a spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16. The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are children of God.
17. And if children, heirs also: heirs of God, and Christ's joint heirs; if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.
18. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the coming glory to be revealed to us.
19. For the anxious looking out of the creature expects the revelation of the sons of God:
20. for the creature has been made subject to vanity, not of its will, but by reason of him who has subjected the same, in hope
21. that the creature itself also shall be set free from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God.
