NASB | Romans 8:13 for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 8:13 for if you are living according to the [impulses of the] flesh, you are going to die. But if [you are living] by the [power of the Holy] Spirit you are habitually putting to death the sinful deeds of the body, you will [really] live forever. |
Subject: Danger of liv. accord. to the flesh? |
Bible Note: i agree there is no contradiction. In both cases, i think it is talking about spiritual death, not physical death. physical being separation from the body and spiritual being final separation from God. my take on the verse is that professors of the faith must display "works of faith", i.e. "put to death the deeds of the body", in order to have an assurance of salvation. it goes along the lines of James exhortation; "faith w/o works is "useless, dead" and Paul's exhortations in 1 Cor. 6:9; Eph. 5:5; Gal. 5:21, etc. |
