KJV ORIGINAL

And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

If Christ is living in you, yeah your physical body is still going to die because of sin — that's just how it works. But the Spirit? That's where real life comes from, and it's all because you're made right with God.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Your body might be temporary, but with Christ's Spirit in you, you've got the kind of life that actually lasts.
