Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwelleth in you, he that raised up Christ Jesus from the dead shall give life also to your mortal bodies through his Spirit that dwelleth in you. "shall give life also to your mortal bodies" -there is some discussion here concerning what 'resurrection' is under consideration.

Whiteside argues: 'But does our resurrection from the dead depend upon the Spirit's dwelling in us? Do not the Scriptures plainly teach that the wicked, as well as the righteous, will be raised? (John 5:28; Acts 24:15)..He had just stated that the body was dead because of sin--no longer an instrument of sin. But it is to remain altogether inactive? It is not to be brought into any kind of activity in the life of the Christian?'

Both resurrections are found in this section (Romans 8:23; Romans 6:6).
