Here’s a simple
two-voice setting of Romans 8: 6-11, from the New Living translation
Readers’ Theatre:
Romans 8: 6-11
So letting your sinful
nature control your mind leads to death.
But letting the Spirit
control your mind leads to life and peace.
For the sinful nature is always hostile to God.
It never did obey God’s laws, and it never will.
That’s why those who
are still under the control of their sinful nature
can never please God.
But you are not controlled by your sinful nature.
You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God
living in you.
And remember:
those who do not have
the Spirit of Christ living in them
do not belong to him at
all.
And Christ lives within you,
so even though your body will die because of sin,
the Spirit gives you life
because you have been made right with God.
The Spirit of God, who
raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you.!
And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead,
he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit
living within you.
