carnal mind (death) vs GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT (LIFE)

carnal self/mind is death and lives death.
GOD’S HOLY SPIRIT IS HIS HOLY LAW ALIVE!!!
…….GOD’S HOLY WRITTEN LAW – ALIVE!!!

Because when we were carnal, the actions of sin,
by the LAW,
were working through our physical members producing fruit of death.
But now we have been released from the LAW, not condemned by it,
and we should serve in a new LIFE of HIS SPIRIT, WHO LIVES HIS LAW,
and not in carnal/death, “self/human” trying to follow the LAW.

So, should we say that the LAW is sin? GOD forbid.

I would not know what sin is if the LAW did not say it is sin.
I would not know lust, except by the fact that the LAW says,
Thou shall not covet.

But sin, set in motion by the COMMANDMENT,
created in me all sorts of desires/lusts.
Because without the LAW, I did not know that it was sin.

I was alive without the LAW: but when I learned HIS COMMANDS,
I saw sin in me and I knew had to die.
HIS COMMANDS that were to give me LIFE, I found to be my death.
For sin, realized in me once I learned HIS COMMANDS,
had been fooling me and was killing me.

Listen,
the LAW is HOLY and the COMMANDMENT HOLY,
JUST and GOOD.
Does this mean that that which is good is death to me? GOD forbid.
But for me to see sin, that was death to me,
sin had to be shown, really, sinful to me by HIS COMMANDS.
Because we know that the LAW is SPIRITUAL, but I am carnal,
a slave to sin because I do the things I shouldn’t, I do not do
what I should, but what I hate – I do.

So if I know that I do that which I shouldn’t, I am agreeing
with the LAW that the LAW is GOOD.
Now, I realize that it is my submission to sin, in me, that drives me
to do it because I know that in me (carnal self)
there is nothing that is good. I know I have choice/a will,
but I cannot choose/will something that is not in carnal me.
Because the good that I want to do – I don’t do it;
but the evil that I don’t want to do I do.

If I am doing what I don’t want to do, I know that it is the sin in me.
I find that when I SUBMIT to HIS LAW, BEING in HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, there is evil in me.
I delight in the LAW of GOD that is after the inward parts of me.

I see another law in my members warring against the law of my mind,
and making me a slave to the law of sin, in my members.
I am evil!
Who will deliver me from this body of death?

I thank GOD, JESUS CHRIST, our LORD.
I conform my mind, myself, to serve the LAW of GOD,
even though my carnal self follows the law of sin.
So, there is no condemnation to them who are in CHRIST JESUS,
who do not follow the carnal self, but follow HIS SPIRIT.
Because the LAW of the SPIRIT of LIFE in CHRIST JESUS
has made me free from the law of sin and death.

Because what the LAW could not do, in my weakness of carnal self,
GOD, as SON, who was in the likeness of carnal sin (human),
condemned sin in the carnal self.
That the RIGHTEOUSNESS of the LAW is fulfilled in US
who follow HIS SPIRIT and not our carnal self.

Because they that follow carnal self do carnal things,
but they that follow HIS SPIRIT do things of HIS SPIRIT.
Because to be carnal minded is death,
but to BE SPIRITUALLY MINDED is LIFE and PEACE.
Because the carnal mind is an enemy of GOD,
because it does not submit to the LAW of GOD,
neither can it.
So, they that are carnal minded
cannot please GOD.

You do not live by the flesh, but LIVE BY HIS SPIRIT,
if you are TRULY INDWELLED BY GOD’S SPIRIT.
If anyone does not have the SPIRIT of CHRIST,
that one is not GOD’S.
And if CHRIST BE IN YOU, your body is dead because of sin
but HIS SPIRIT IS LIVING ALIVE because of RIGHTEOUSNESS.

But if HIS SPIRIT that RAISED JESUS from the dead DWELLS in you,
HE that RAISED CHRIST from the dead SHALL LIVE through/GIVE LIFE
to your mortal bodies BY HIS SPIRIT that DWELLS in you.

Therefore, BROTHERS/SISTERS, we are in debt,
not to self/flesh/carnal mind to live as self/flesh/carnal mind.
For if you live as self/flesh/carnal mind, you will die:
but if you deny self/flesh/carnal mind and SUBMIT to HIS SPIRIT
you SHALL LIVE.
For those that SUBMIT to HIS SPIRIT to LIVE through them
are the SONS/DAUGHTERS of GOD.

For you have not received the spirit of bondage to be in fear
but have RECEIVED HIS SPIRIT, INTAKING us INTO HIMSELF,
where we can CALL HIM, ABBA FATHER!

HIS SPIRIT BEARS WITNESS as to WHO we ARE
as HIS CHILDREN, HIS INHERITORS,
INHERITORS of EVERYTHING that IS COVENANTED
TO CHRIST, JOINT-HEIRS;

in that we SHALL SUFFER and BE GLORIFIED,
together, WITH HIM
