For if you live after the flesh, you shall die: but if you through the Spirit do put to death the deeds of the body, you shall live.
All Commentaries on Romans 8:13 Go To Romans 8
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
I have quoted this passage so that I might make use of the apostle’s words to deter your free will from evil and to exhort it to what is good. Nor should you on this account glory in man, i.e., in yourselves and not in the Lord. You are not living according to the flesh but are putting the deeds of the flesh to death by the Spirit.
