The distinguished passage

Romans 8 is full of references to the Holy Spirit! 26 times in 21 verses the word "Spirit" is used. This chapter concludes the great "Heart of Romans" discussion that Paul makes about the wonderful grace of Jesus.  One clear set within this chapter is the distinguishing passage:  Romans 8:9-11. It marks a clear distinction that abides on the believer because of the glorious presence of the Spirit.  (thanks to Accordance, they've highlighted the "hits" for us in RED.)
Rom. 8:9 "You, however, are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. If anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to him. 10 Now if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you, then he who raised Christ from the dead will also bring your mortal bodies to life through his Spirit who lives in you."
The presence of God's Spirit is not passive in the believer but active!  Read the whole chapter and discover the assistance and blessing of the presence of the Spirit in the life of the believer. Praise God!
