Sermons citing Romans 8:5–16

^8:7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so.

^8:8 Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God.

^8:9 You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, 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.

^8:10 But if Christ is in you, your body is dead because of sin, yet your spirit is alive because of righteousness.

^8:11 And if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit, who lives in you.

^8:12 Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation, but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.

^8:13 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.

^8:14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.

^8:15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery that returns you to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption to sonship, by whom we cry, “Abba! Father!”

^8:16 The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
