Romans 8:13
"If you through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body you shall live."
The Conditionality: A Certain Connection
There is a certain infallible connection and coherence
between true mortification and eternal life.
The choicest believers,
who are assuredly freed from the condemning power of sin,
ought yet to make it their business all their days
to mortify the indwelling power of sin.
The Cause and Means: The Holy Spirit
Mortification from a self-strength,
carried on by ways of self-invention,
unto the end of a self-righteousness
is the soul and substance of all false religions in the world.
The Duty: Mortify the Deeds of the Body
The mortification of indwelling sin remaining in our mortal bodies,
that it may not have life and power
to bring forth the works or deeds of the flesh,
is the constant duty of believers.
The Promise: You Shall Live
The vigor, and power, and comfort of our spiritual life
depends on the mortification of the deeds of the flesh.
--Of the Mortification of Sin in Believers by John Owen
