The Christian’s Walk

^17 (A)So I say this, and affirm in the Lord, ^(B)that you are to no longer walk just as the ^[a]Gentiles also walk, in the ^(C)futility of their minds,

⁵ For those who are in accord with the flesh set their minds on ^(A)the things of the flesh, but those who are in accord with the Spirit, ^(B)the things of the Spirit.

⁷ because the mind ^[a]set on the flesh is ^(A)hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so, ⁸ and those who are ^(B)in the flesh cannot please God.

¹¹ Then you are to say to them, ‘It is ^(A)because your forefathers have abandoned Me,’ declares the Lord, ‘and have followed ^(B)other gods, and served and worshiped them; but they have abandoned Me and have not kept My Law. ¹² You too have done evil, even ^(C)more than your forefathers; for behold, each one of you is following the ^(D)stubbornness of his own ^(E)evil heart, without listening to Me.

³³ “For ^(A)this is the covenant which I will make with the house of Israel after those days,” declares the Lord: “^(B)I will put My law within them and write it on their heart; and ^(C)I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
