Romans 8:3-5
Holman Christian Standard Bible
3 What the law could not do(A) since it was limited[a] by the flesh,(B) God did. He condemned sin in the flesh by sending His own Son in flesh like ours(C) under sin’s domain,[b] and as a sin offering,(D) 4 in order that the law’s requirement would be accomplished(E) in us who do not walk according to the flesh(F) but according to the Spirit. 5 For those who live[c] according to the flesh think about the things of the flesh,(G) but those who live[d] according to the Spirit, about the things of the Spirit.

New International Version
3 For what the law was powerless(A) to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[a](B) God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh(C) to be a sin offering.[b](D) And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement(E) of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.(F)
5 Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires;(G) but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.(H)
