Therefore, brethren, we are debtors; not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.

For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.

As is the man of dust, so also are those of dust; and as is the Man from Heaven, so also are those of Heaven.

For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh.

and especially those who walk according to the flesh in the lust of defilement and despise authority. They are presumptuous, self-willed. They are not afraid to speak evil of dignitaries.

For to be carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God; for it is not subject to the Law of God, nor indeed can be.

But when He had turned around and looked at His disciples, He rebuked Peter, saying, Get behind Me, Satan! For you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.

But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he is not able to know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

For many conduct themselves, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are enemies of the cross of Christ:

whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and who glory in their shame; who set their mind on earthly things.

But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His.

For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; and he is not able to know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

And those who are Christ's have crucified the flesh with its passions and lusts.

(for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth),

If then you are raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.

for you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
