There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus.
Life in the Spirit
Romans 8:1–17 · A study in freedom, belonging, and the presence of God.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus made me free from the law of sin and of death.
For what the law couldn't do, because it was weak through the flesh, God did, sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh.
that the ordinance of the law might be fulfilled in us, who don't walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit, on the things of the Spirit.
For the mind of the flesh is death, but the mind of the Spirit is life and peace.
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are children of God.
