There is no true life without the death called mortification, and there is no true life
without the discipline called aspiration. It is while we put to death the deeds of the
body that we shall live (verse 13); it is while we set our minds on the things of the
Spirit that we find life and peace (verse 6). So the Holy Spirit subdues the flesh as
we mortify it in His power, and as we set our minds upon the things of the Spirit.”

--John Stott, Men Made New, p. 92
