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.

God’s Spirit and the life of faith
“The privileges of those who are in Christ Jesus are not founded on their own merit, but on the grace of God received through faith.”
Language note
“No condemnation”
A verdict of judgment. Paul’s opening is legal language: the sentence has been removed for those in Christ.
