But you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if it is so that the Spirit of God dwells in you. But if any man doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ, he is not his.

But{G1161} ye{G5210} are{G2075}{(G5748)} not{G3756} in{G1722} the flesh{G4561}, but{G235} in{G1722} the Spirit{G4151}, if so be{G1512} that the Spirit{G4151} of God{G2316} dwell{G3611}{(G5719)} in{G1722} you{G5213}. Now{G1161} if any man{G1536} have{G2192}{(G5719)} not{G3756} the Spirit{G4151} of Christ{G5547}, he{G3778} is{G2076}{(G5748)} none{G3756} of his{G846}.

KJV with Strongs

(9) Now you aren't in the flesh rather in ruach-spirit, since יהוה YAHWEH's רוּחַ Ruach-Spirit lives in you. But if anybody doesn't have The רוּחַ Ruach-Spirit of Mashiach, he isn't becoming of Him.

The F.O.G
[9] You, however, are not controlled by the fallen nature but by the Spirit, since God's Spirit lives within you. And remember—anyone who does not have the Spirit of the Messiah living within them does not belong to Him.[10] But if the Messiah is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness.
The F.O.G Paraphrase

And ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God doth dwell in you; and if any one hath not the Spirit of Christ—this one is not His;
