Romans 8:13

Heirs with Christ

12Therefore, brothers, we have an obligation, but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it.13For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.14For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God.
