Charles Spurgeon Commentary Romans 8:10

"And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the spirit is life because of righteousness." — Romans 8:10 (ASV)

And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin;

The grace of God has not changed that body; it still remains earth, dust, food for worms, and it must die unless Christ should come and transform it by his coming. The body is dead because of sin; and from this come those aches and pains, that heaviness, that weariness, that decay, those infirmities of age that we experience as long as we carry with us this body of death.

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

Hence the body suffers, the body is sick, the body decays, the body is under the dominion of death because of sin, but the Spirit is full of life because of righteousness.

But the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

There is a living power within us which triumphs over this dying, decaying body. So we rejoice notwithstanding all our afflictions, trials, and depressions.

And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin;

Therefore, it suffers disease and pain, for the soul is regenerated, but not the body. If I may so speak, the regeneration of the body happens at the resurrection. It is then that it will receive its full share of the blessed work of Christ. The body is dead because of sin.
