Wonderful text for those who believe, but which does not means one can claim to believe and live after the flesh, as true belief is continuous, persevering (with repentance when one realizes he has walked contrary to faith), and the part of the verse from the most consistent mss includes,

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. (Romans 8:1)

Thus,

But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world. (1 Corinthians 11:32)

Thanks be to God who works to bring us to repentance and walking in faith if we go a stray, while warning us of departing from it. It is those who are without chastisement that are none of His.

It can be a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God...but better there than any other place.

Indeed what a loving Father we have!
