Romans 8:1 Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those
who are in Christ Jesus,
2 because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life
set me free from the law of sin and death.
3 For what the law was powerless to do in that it was
weakened by the sinful nature, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness
of sinful man to be a sin offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man,
4 in order that the righteous requirements of the law might
be fully met in us, who do not live according to the sinful nature but
according to the Spirit.
5 Those who live according to the sinful nature have their
minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in accordance with
the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.
6 The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by
the Spirit is life and peace;
7 the sinful mind is hostile to God. It does not submit to
God's law, nor can it do so.
8 Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.
9 You, however, are controlled not by the sinful nature but
by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have
the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.
10 But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin,
yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.
11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is
living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your
mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.
12 Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation—but it is not
to the sinful nature, to live according to it.
13 For if you live according to the sinful nature, you will
die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will
live,
1 Corinthians 6:9 Do you not know that the wicked will not
inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral
nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10 nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers
nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11 And that is what some of you were. But you were washed,
you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ
and by the Spirit of our God.
