…in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.       Romans 8:4

Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.      Romans 8:5-8

Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.    Romans 8:5

And so, dear brothers and sisters, I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the way to worship him. 2 Don’t copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.         Romans 12:1-2

The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace.      Romans 8:6

So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won’t be doing what your sinful nature craves. 17 The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions. 18 But when you are directed by the Spirit, you are not under obligation to the law of Moses. 19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division, 21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.  22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things! 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. 25 Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.      Galatians 5:16-25

The mind of sinful man is death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace.     Romans 8:6

Those who live according to the flesh are hostile towards God

The sinful mind is hostile to God.       Romans 8:7a

Those who live according to the flesh can’t submit to God’s law

It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.        Romans 8:7b

The sinful mind does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.        Romans 8:7b

Those who live according to the flesh can’t please God

Those controlled by the sinful nature cannot please God.     Romans 8:8

When the Holy Spirit lives in you, He controls you

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.     Romans 8:9

If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ.     Romans 8:9b

And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.         Ezekiel 36:27
