Isaiah 8:1-2 / 9-12 NLT

1. So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.

2. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death.

9. But you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you. (And remember that those who do not have the Spirit of Christ living in them do not belong to him at all.)

10. And Christ lives within you, so even though your body will die because of sin, the Spirit gives you life because you have been made right with God.

11. The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.

12. Therefore, dear brothers and sisters, you have no obligation to do what your sinful nature urges you to do.
