righteousness.

The Spirit filled man does not walk after the flesh.

the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

We are new creatures in Christ.

creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.
We must abide in Christ (in the Spirit) to maintain that relationship.

itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide
in me.
