Romans 8:13 For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
English “after” in Romans 8:13 was translated from Greek preposition 2596 kata meaning down in the genitive case as grammatical objects are down from their grammatical subjects. Greek preposition 2596 kata was 107 times translated into English “according to” because a grammatical object’s thoughts are according to the thoughts of their grammatical subject.
