Romans 8

Bible in Basic English (BBE)

6 Ref For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace:

7 Ref Because the mind of the flesh is opposite to God; it is not under the law of God, and is not able to be:

9 Ref You are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God is in you. But if any man has not the Spirit of Christ he is not one of his.
