For if you live according to the flesh you will die, but if you live by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

Just like the AA Recovery Paradoxes

We DIE TO LIVE.
When we work at our Twelve Steps, the old life gradually dies, and we acquire a different and a better way of life. We in AA die to live.

We SUFFER TO GET WELL.
There is no way to escape the terrible suffering of remorse and regret , shame and embarrassment which starts us on the road to getting well from our affliction. It is painful but necessarily. . . We suffer to get well.
