Romans 8:4

Walking by the Spirit

3For what the law was powerless to do in that it was weakened by the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful man, as an offering for sin. He thus condemned sin in the flesh,4so that the righteous standard of the law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
