Romans 8:1

“Who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit” is the reading of the great majority of Greek manuscripts. Codex Alexandrinus of the fifth century has “who walk not after the flesh,” and Chrysostom preaches on those words here. Paul says the same, whole, in verse 4.

The King James Bible

μὴ κατὰ σάρκα περιπατοῦσιν ἀλλὰ κατὰ πνεῦμα. mē kata sarka peripatousin alla kata pneuma
