The previous paragraph identifies the olive passage; here the author develops its application rather than introducing a new Scripture quotation. MAT 7:19-19 (exposition): The author expressly applies the fruitless tree image to the person refusing Spirit-grafting, explaining the moral change required. 1CO 15:50-50 (exposition): The quotation is explained as requiring infusion of the Spirit, explicitly not repudiation of the substance of flesh. ROM 8:8-8 (exposition): This adjacent quotation is expressly interpreted with the flesh-and-blood statement: the author denies rejection of material flesh and explains the need for the Spirit. 1CO 15:53-53 (exposition): The author adduces this wording to show continuing mortal/corruptible bodily substance can receive the Spirit and incorruption. The source reverses the clause order but identifies the same verse. ROM 8:9-9 (exposition): The quoted indwelling condition is used to clarify what Paul means by not in the flesh, in the explicit argument against rejection of flesh substance. ROM 8:10-10 (exposition): The body/Spirit contrast is introduced as an even clearer account supporting the same material-body-with-Spirit interpretation. ROM 8:11-11 (exposition): The actual quoted promise is to vivify mortal bodies; the author uses it to substantiate the bodily, rather than disembodied, interpretation. The source rendering because of His Spirit is particularly close to DRA; WEB/ASV have through his Spirit. Preserve the source variant. ROM 8:13-13 (exposition): The author explicitly says this does not forbid embodied human life, observing Paul wrote while in flesh, and instead interprets it as removal of death-producing fleshly lusts. ROM 8:14-14 (citation): This continuation is genuinely quoted as support, but no distinct explanation of led by the Spirit or sons of God is supplied in this paragraph.
