          Paul’s Letter To The Romans

3 - For God has done what the law, weakened by the human (missing the mark) nature, couldn’t do. He did this by sending his own Son {only straight out from God, one} in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he therefore passed judgment upon and condemned sin/missing the mark in the imperfect nature, 4 in order that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled - in us - who walk not according to carnality {and the self first and foremost nature} but walk according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. 6 For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. 7 For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God, for it doesn’t submit to God's law. Indeed, it cannot. 8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God. {In carnality. This does not mean in the body, which after all God designed. Matter is not the problem, imperfection, an abyss of POTENTIAL is.}

     9 You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit oF God (His Spirit/Presence) dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ, does not belong to him. 10 But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
