Romans 8:7-13 For the interests of the flesh are hostile to God; they do not yield to the law of God (indeed they cannot).

Moffatt⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁷ For the interests of the flesh are hostile to God; they do not yield to the law of God (indeed they cannot). ⁸ Those who are in the flesh cannot satisfy God. ⁹ But you are not in the flesh, you are in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God dwells within you. Anyone who does not possess the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Him. ¹⁰ On the other hand, if Christ is within you, though the body is a dead thing owing to Adam's sin, the spirit is living as the result of righteousness. ¹¹ And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells within you, then He who raised Christ from the dead will also make your mortal bodies live by his indwelling Spirit in your lives. ¹² Well then, my brothers, we owe a duty — but it is not to the flesh! It is not to live by the flesh! ¹³ If you live by the flesh, you are on the road to death; but if by the Spirit you put the actions of the body to death, you will live.
