Man's Flesh and God's SPIRIT

 

Romans 8:1 

King James Version

8 There is therefore now no condemnation 

to them which are in Christ Jesus, 

who walk not after the flesh, 

but after the Spirit.

How does our flesh differ from God's Spirit?

What can the Holy Spirit of God do for us, in our battle against the sins of the flesh?

Here are marked differences, amazingly just from one chapter in Scripture:

Romans 8:2 

King James Version

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus 

hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

Romans 8:3 

King James Version

3 For what the law could not do, 

in that it was weak through the flesh, 

God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, 

and for sin, 

condemned sin in the flesh:

Romans 8:5 

King James Version

5 For they that are after the flesh 

do mind the things of the flesh; 

but they that are after the Spirit 

the things of the Spirit.

Romans 8:6 

King James Version

6 For to be carnally minded is death; 

but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.

Romans 8:10 

King James Version

10 And if Christ be in you, 

the body is dead because of sin; 

but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

Romans 8:11 

King James Version

11 But if the Spirit of him 

that raised up Jesus from the dead 

dwell in you, 

he that raised up Christ from the dead 

shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit 

that dwelleth in you.

Romans 8:13 

King James Version

13 For if ye live after the flesh, 

ye shall die: 

but if ye through the Spirit do mortify 

the deeds of the body, 

ye shall live.

Romans 8:15 

King James Version

15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage 

again to fear; 

but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, 

whereby we cry, 

Abba, Father.

Romans 8:18 

King James Version

18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time 

are not worthy to be compared with the glory 

which shall be revealed in us.

Romans 8:21 

King James Version

21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered 

from the bondage of corruption 

into the glorious liberty of the children of God.

If the Spirit of God dwells in us, we are in the Spirit.

Romans 8:9 

King James Version

9 But ye are not in the flesh, 

but in the Spirit, 

if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. 

Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, 

he is none of his.

Romans 8:26 

King James Version

26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: 

for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: 

but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us 

with groanings which cannot be uttered.
