Romans 8:12

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

Of course not! How can we who died as far as sin is concerned go on living in it?

LORD, I am indeed your servant. I am your servant. I am the son of your handmaid. You have released my bonds.

You know that your body is a sanctuary of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have received from God, don't you? You do not belong to yourselves,

so that he can live the rest of his mortal life guided, not by human desires, but by the will of God.
