Rom. 8:1‑13• 1There is then now no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus.
 2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and of death.
 3For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God, having sent his own Son, in likeness of flesh of sin, and for sin, has condemned sin in the flesh,
 4in order that the righteous requirement of the law should be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to flesh but according to Spirit.
 5For they that are according to flesh mind the things of the flesh; and they that are according to Spirit, the things of the Spirit.
 6For the mind of the flesh is death; but the mind of the Spirit life and peace.
 7Because the mind of the flesh is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God; for neither indeed can it be:
 8and they that are in flesh cannot please God.
 9But *ye* are not in flesh but in Spirit, if indeed God's Spirit dwell in you; but if any one has not the Spirit of Christ *he* is not of him:
 10but if Christ be in you, the body is dead on account of sin, but the Spirit life on account of righteousness.
 11But if the Spirit of him that has raised up Jesus from among the dead dwell in you, he that has raised up Christ from among the dead shall quicken your mortal bodies also on account of his Spirit which dwells in you.
 12So then, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to flesh;
 13for if ye live according to flesh, ye are about to die; but if, by the Spirit, ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live: (Rom. 8:1‑13)

Gal. 5:16‑24• 16But I say, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall no way fulfil flesh's lust.
 17For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these things are opposed one to the other, that ye should not do those things which ye desire;
 18but if ye are led by the Spirit, ye are not under law.
 19Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are fornication, uncleanness, licentiousness,
 20idolatry, sorcery, hatred, strifes, jealousies, angers, contentions, disputes, schools of opinion,
 21envyings, murders, drunkennesses, revels, and things like these; as to which I tell you beforehand, even as I also have said before, that they who do such things shall not inherit God's kingdom.
 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, fidelity,
 23meekness, self-control: against such things there is no law.
 24But they that are of the Christ have crucified the flesh with the passions and the lusts. (Gal. 5:16‑24)

1 Peter 3:20• 20heretofore disobedient, when the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah while the ark was preparing, into which few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water: (1 Peter 3:20)
