If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit is alive because of righteousness.
Though the flesh yet clings to earthly filthiness and death has not purged one part of you, that little spark of the Spirit, of regenerating grace, evident in the fruits of righteousness, is the seed of life. Do not doubt the happy success of this combat.
AI summary
Christ in believers is the earnest of eternal life for body and soul alike. Bodies remain subject to death because of sin's power, yet believers live in immortality of soul. The Spirit is life because of righteousness, that justification which is unto life.
AI summary
Grant that your bodies must pass through death because of Adam's sin, yet your spirit is instinct with new and undying life, brought in by the righteousness of the second Adam. Redemption is incomplete in the body, but complete in the spirit.
