There is no way of deliverance from the state and condition of being in the flesh, but by the Spirit of Christ.

From Romans 8:3-4:  “For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and to deal with sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, so that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.”

John Owen (1616-1683) was an English Puritan church leader and theologian.
