4 He did this so that the righteous requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us. Now the way we live is based on the Spirit, not based on selfishness.
5 People whose lives are based on selfishness think about selfish things, but people whose lives are based on the Spirit think about things that are related to the Spirit.
6 The attitude that comes from selfishness leads to death, but the attitude that comes from the Spirit leads to life and peace.
7 So the attitude that comes from selfishness is hostile to God. It doesn’t submit to God’s Law, because it can’t.
8 People who are self-centered aren’t able to please God.
9 But you aren’t self-centered. Instead you are in the Spirit, if in fact God’s Spirit lives in you. If anyone doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, they don’t belong to him.
10 If Christ is in you, the Spirit is your life because of God’s righteousness, but the body is dead because of sin.
