Romans 8:4-6

Contemporary English Version

⁴ He did this, so that we would do what the Law commands by obeying the Spirit instead of our own desires.

⁵ People who are ruled by their desires think only of themselves. Everyone who is ruled by the Holy Spirit thinks about spiritual things. ⁶ If our minds are ruled by our desires, we will die. But if our minds are ruled by the Spirit, we will have life and peace.
