We are to live by the Spirit

We are to live by the Spirit

Gal 5:16, 18, 25

¹⁶ So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

¹⁸ But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

²⁵ Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit.

Rom 8:2, 4-6, 9, 14

² because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you^[a] free from the law of sin and death.

⁴ in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

⁵ Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires. ⁶ The mind governed by the flesh is death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is life and peace. 

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. 

¹⁴ For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.

2 Cor 5:17

¹⁷ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:^[a]The old has gone, the new is here!
