2. By Rom. 8.1. There is no condemnation to them that are in ⟨p. 27⟩Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. A man may have flesh in him, and yet be in Christ, but he that walks after the flesh and makes provision for it, to fulfil the lusts of it hath no share in him. But he that walks after the Spirit, and is led by the Spirit, and is spiritually minded, may be assured of his interest in Christ.
2. By Rom. 8.1. There is no condemnation to them that are in ⟨p. 27⟩Christ Iesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit. A man may have flesh in him, and yet be in Christ, but he that walks after the flesh and makes provision for it, to fulfill the lusts of it hath no share in him. But he that walks after the Spirit, and is led by the Spirit, and is spiritually minded, may be assured of his interest in Christ.
3. By Gal. 5.24. They that are Christs, have crucified the flesh, with the affections and lusts. They that make it their work to crucify not only the flesh, but the affections and lusts of it, and are always crucifying and mortifying it, are in a Gospel-account esteemed as crucifiers of the flesh, and do crucify it (desiderio & conatu, though not actu) in their desires and endeavours, though they cannot while in the body perfectly subdue it; and may be confident that Christ is theirs, and they are Christs, and that Christ Jesus shall be to them in life and death advantage.
