In Romans 8:1, the NASB 1977 removes the words "who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit".
Romans 8:1 KJB
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.

The NASB1977 remove the bolded words in order to prevent saved believers from knowing that they can walk after the Holy Spirit.
John 14:26 KJB
[26] But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 15:26 KJB
[26] But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me:
How can a saved believer voluntarily walk after the Spirit [Disclaimer: this can only happen after salvation and does not define salvation itself. Salvation is when someone gets saved not by works, but by believing the Lord Jesus died and rose.]? By living a godly life and reading and studying God's Word [the KJB is God's preserved, inspired Word in English]:
Titus 2:12 KJB
[12] teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;
2 Timothy 2:15 KJB
[15] Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.
Why can saved Christians choose to walk after the Spirit? Because they are sealed and taught by the Holy Ghost/the Spirit of God and are secured eternally by and never plucked out of the Father's hands and the Son's hands forever:
π And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Ephesians 4:30 KJB
πMy sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.
John 10:27 - 29 KJB
If you have a NASB 1977, discard it and get, read, and believe the KJB (King James Bible) and its words.
