Romans 8:11-16, But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you,

This verse introduces the concept of resurrection and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead will also give life to believers' mortal bodies. "Quicken" means to make alive or give life. This emphasizes the trans-formative power of the Holy Spirit, suggesting that believers can experience a kind of spiritual resurrection even while still living in their earthly bodies.
