Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Oh! this is a very wonderful fact, that the Spirit of God should dwell in us.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

And if Christ be in you,.... Not as he is in the whole world, and in all his creatures, or circumscriptively, and to the exclusion of himself elsewhere; for his person is above in heaven, his blood is within the vail, his righteousness is upon his people, and his Spirit and grace are in them; and so he comes to be in them, he is formed in their...

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; The grace of God has not changed that body; it still remains earth, dust, worms’ meat, and it must die unless Christ should come, and transform it by his coming. “The body is dead because of sin;” and hence come those aches and pains, that heaviness, that weariness, that decay, those...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; Therefore, it suffers disease and pain, for the soul is regenerated, but not the body.

But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead,....

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors,.... The appellation, "brethren", is not used, because they were so by nation or by blood, though many in the church at Rome were Jews; nor merely in a free familiar way of speaking; but rather on account of church membership, and especially because they were in the same spiritual relation to God and Christ: and...

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. Certainly not, for we owe the flesh nothing.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For we owe the flesh nothing by way of gratitude or service. The flesh has dragged us down. The flesh has ruined us. We owe it nothing, except mastery of it. We are not debtors to it, to live after it.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh. For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live. It is a live thing, and a quickening thing, for ye shall live.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh What do we owe the old nature? Nothing, surely. Give it a decent burial. Let it be buried with Christ in baptism. Let the Spirit of God come and renew it. But we owe it nothing, and we are not debtors to it.
