5 For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful ^jpassions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit ^kfor death.

8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.

9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God ^pdwells in you. Anyone who does not have the ^qSpirit of Christ does not belong to him.
