The Spirit is the One who gives life. The flesh doesn't help at all. The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and are life.

because the Spirit's law of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

Now if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

So it is written: The first man Adam became a living being; the last Adam became a life-giving Spirit.

He has made us competent to be ministers of a new covenant, not of the letter, but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit produces life.

For this reason the gospel was also preached to [those who are now] dead, so that, although they might be judged by men in the fleshly realm, they might live by God in the spiritual realm.

But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet. So great fear fell on those who saw them.

I say then, walk by the Spirit and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.

in order that the law's requirement would be accomplished in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

For those whose lives are according to the flesh think about the things of the flesh, but those whose lives are according to the Spirit, about the things of the Spirit.
