  2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.

  3 For what the law couldn’t do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh;

  4 that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

  5 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, the things of the Spirit.

  6 For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace;

  7 because the mind of the flesh is hostile toward God; for it is not subject to God’s law, neither indeed can it be.

  8 Those who are in the flesh can’t please God.

  9 But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

  10 If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

  11 But if the Spirit of him who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

  12 So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live after the flesh.

  13 For if you live after the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

- Gospel

  Matthew 10:16–22

  16 “Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

  17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to councils, and in their synagogues they will scourge you.

  18 Yes, and you will be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony to them and to the nations.

  19 But when they deliver you up, don’t be anxious how or what you will say, for it will be given you in that hour what you will say.

  20 For it is not you who speak, but the Spirit of your Father who speaks in you.

  21 “Brother will deliver up brother to death, and the father his child. Children will rise up against parents, and cause them to be put to death.

  22 You will be hated by all men for my name’s sake, but he who endures to the end will be saved.
