What gives life is God's Spirit; human power is of no use at all. The words I have spoken to you bring God's life-giving Spirit.

For the law of the Spirit, which brings us life in union with Christ Jesus, has set me free from the law of sin and death.

But if Christ lives in you, the Spirit is life for you because you have been put right with God, even though your bodies are going to die because of sin.

For the scripture says, "The first man, Adam, was created a living being"; but the last Adam is the life-giving Spirit.

it is he who made us capable of serving the new covenant, which consists not of a written law but of the Spirit. The written law brings death, but the Spirit gives life.

That is why the Good News was preached also to the dead, to those who had been judged in their physical existence as everyone is judged; it was preached to them so that in their spiritual existence they may live as God lives.

After three and a half days a life-giving breath came from God and entered them, and they stood up; and all who saw them were terrified.

What I say is this: let the Spirit direct your lives, and you will not satisfy the desires of the human nature.

God did this so that the righteous demands of the Law might be fully satisfied in us who live according to the Spirit, and not according to human nature.

Those who live as their human nature tells them to, have their minds controlled by what human nature wants. Those who live as the Spirit tells them to, have their minds controlled by what the Spirit wants.
