For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.
Romans 8:13 ESV
If, having been redeemed, you go back to living according to the flesh, rejecting the priceless gift that God has given, there is no more sacrifice to cover your sins. Nobody can take God’s mercy away from you, but you are capable of rejecting it, even after having received it. If you do so, don’t be surprised if God’s wrath against you is even greater than it would have been if you had never received the truth at all. Yeshua’s blood is the greatest atonement there can ever be, and if you reject it, you reject all hope for eternity.
So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.
Romans 8:12 ESV
We are debtors because God gave us life when we could not have given it to ourselves. We don’t owe the flesh anything in regard to our salvation, because it is unable to do anything in our favor. God enables us to live in the spirit even while our flesh continuously tries to drag us back into the grave.
This is a debt that we can never repay because it is of infinite worth. The only thing we can do to repay God’s gift is to live as God instructs us to live, according to his commandments as disciples of Yeshua, and making new disciples along the way.
Paul uses the word spirit (pneuma) six times in Romans 8:12-17, and he uses it in multiple ways. They don't all refer to God's Spirit, not even when most translations capitalize the word. There's a chiasm in these verses that might help you see the idea that Paul was trying to explain.
A - V12-13 - Killing the flesh per God’s Spirit leads to life
B - V14 - Spirit of God reveals sons of God
C - V15 - Spirit of slavery vs spirit of adoption as sons
B - V16 - Spirit of God reveals children of God
A - V17 - Suffering in flesh per God’s Son leads to life

If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.
Romans 8:11 ESV
The flesh is sanctified by a reborn spirit in spite of its continued inclination toward death, and the resurrection of Yeshua is a demonstration that God is able to raise us too and will do so at the final judgment.
“His spirit dwelling in you” is the same as “the Spirit of him who raised Jesus”. This is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the individual believer.
But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness.
Romans 8:10 ESV
If you have been born again with a Christ-like spirit, then it will draw you toward obedience even while your flesh continues to draw you toward disobedience and death.
You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.
Romans 8:9 ESV
This probably refers to the Holy Spirit dwelling within us, but it could also be our own spirit in alignment with his, subjected to the law of the spirit of life. A Godly inclination as opposed to a sinful inclination.
“Does not belong to him” doesn’t mean that God (or Yeshua) is no longer sovereign over this person, but that the person is not a member of Yeshua’s chosen people. He maintains a foreign allegiance and is under eternal condemnation from God.
The foundational principles of logic:
The Law of Identity
What is is. If it’s true then it is true.
The Law of NonContradiction
What is true can not also be false at the same time in the same place.
The Law of the Excluded Middle.
There are only two possibilities. True or False. Real or Not Real. There is no in between.
These are the 3 basic laws of logic, and they are extrapolations from the way things have always been in our reality.
They aren’t subject to oppinion. They aren’t capable of change. They are part of and the fundamentals of reality as we know it.
If it is raining right here, right now, then it is raining right here right now. It’s not subject to opinion.
If it is raining right here right now it can not also be not raining right here right now. It’s not subject to opinion.
And it is either raining or not raining right here right now. There’s not third option in this comparison. It may be raining a lot or a little. But if it’s raining it’s raining. It may be cloudy and about to rain but it’s not raining until it starts and can’t be considered to be raining and not raining right here right now.
These 3 basic laws apply to all things.
If it is, then it is.
If it is, then it can not be not at the same time in the same place.
It is or is not. There is no other aspect.
Therefore, if anyone comes to you with a theory, belief, “word from above”, whatever, violating these three basic laws of reality, these three primary tenets of all truth, reject it as if it was from the devil himself…because it is.
