Romans8:10

Translation

However, if Christ is in you, indeed the body is dead for the sake of sin

but the spirit is alive for the sake of righteousness.

Paraphrase

However, if Christ is living in you, your body will not respond to the call of sin to do evil, but your spirit or inner being will respond to the call of righteousness to live correctly.

The preposition that I have rendered here as “for the sake of” usually means, through, by means of or according to.” However, one of its meanings is “for the sake of” and that seems to fit this context the best.
