²⁴ We belong to Christ. As a result, we no longer obey our wrong human thoughts. We stop doing the bad things that our thoughts want us to do. It is like we have killed those thoughts on the cross. ²⁵ Now it is God's Spirit that gives us life. So we must let God's Spirit lead us in how we live. ²⁶ We must not become proud. We must not be jealous of each other, so that we cause trouble to one another.
