Romans 8:13

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Romans 8:13. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die:

For the flesh is to die.

Romans 8:13. But if ye through the Spirit do mortify -

Or, kill -

Romans 8:13. The deeds of the body, ye shall live.

Shall a dying body, then, be my master? Shall the appetite for eating and drinking, or anything else that comes of the flesh, dominate my spirit? God forbid! Let death go to death, and the flesh is such; but the newly-given spirit of God, the spirit who has quickened us with immortal life shall rule and reign in us evermore.
