But you are not ruled by your sinful selves. You are ruled by the Spirit, {\cf2\super [63]} if that Spirit of God really lives in you. But if any person does not have the Spirit of Christ, then that person does not belong to Christ.
Some of us are Jews and some of us are Greeks (non-Jews); some of us are slaves and some of us are free. But we were all baptized {\cf2\super [86]} into one body through one Spirit. {\cf2\super [87]} And we were all given {\cf2\super [88]} the one Spirit.
Surely you know that your bodies are parts of Christ himself. So I must never take the parts of Christ and join those parts to a prostitute {\cf2\super [37]} !
So the life that I live now is not really me—it is Christ living in me. I still live in my body, but I live by faith in the Son of God (Jesus). Jesus is the One who loved me. He gave himself to save me.
And don’t make the Holy Spirit {\cf2\super [36]} sad. The Spirit is God’s proof that you belong to God. God gave you that Spirit to show that God will make you free at the right time.
