Romans 8:13

for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live. "ye must die" -i.e. spiritually. Paul is talking to Christians. 'Are Christians capable of dying spiritually? Of course! If anyone sows to the flesh (Galatians 6:8) he reaps corruption. Some would go back to depend on their moral capital (Galatians 3:3)--that means death. Some would go back to live sinfully (2 Timothy 4:10; 2 Peter 2:20)..that means death. The death here cannot be physical since however. person lives he will die physically.' The same truth was taught in the O.T. (Ezekiel 2:24)

Therefore the "indwelling of the Spirit" in Romans 8:1 isn't some kind of "enabling power" that keeps the Christian away from sin or removes all desire to sin. It's not. "leading" of the Spirit that violates or OVER-RULES free-will.

"by the Spirit" -it is the teaching delivered by the Spirit that reveals what 'deeds of the body' we must remove. (Colossians 3:5 ff; Ephesians 4:25; Ephesians 5:1)

"put to death" -present active, 'to continue to put to death'. 'The Spirit doesn't do the killing for the saint as. sort of substitutionary work. Sanctification involves the sinner.'

(1 Peter 1:14)

"ye shall live" -can the Christian treat sin in. casual manner? Certainly not! Spiritual life is conditional.
