Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB
New International Version NIV
6 For the prudence of the flesh <em>is</em> death, but the prudence of the Spirit, life and peace,
6
The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace.
7 because the prudence of the flesh <em>is</em> enmity against God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, neither indeed can it.
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 So then, those that are carnal cannot please God.
8
Those who are in the realm of the flesh cannot please God.
9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, because the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, that person is not of him.
9
You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ.
10 But if Christ is in you, the body is truly dead because of sin, but the Spirit <em>is</em> alive because of righteousness.
10
But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness.
11 And if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he that raised up the Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in you.
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 because of his Spirit who lives in you.
12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
12
Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation—but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.
13 For if ye live according to the flesh, ye shall die; but if through the Spirit ye mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
13
For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live.
14 For all that are led by the Spirit of God, the same are sons of God.
14
For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.
15 For ye have not received the spirit of slavery to be in fear <em>again</em>, but ye have received the Spirit of adoption <em>of sons</em>, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
15
The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.”
16 For the same Spirit bears witness unto our spirit that we are sons of God,
16
The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children.
