Deliverance from Bondage

1 Therefore there is now no acondemnation for those who are bin cChrist Jesus.

2 For athe law of the Spirit of life 1in bChrist Jesus chas set you free from the law of sin and of death.

3 For awhat the Law could not do, 1bweak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in cthe likeness of 2sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,

4 so that the arequirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who bdo not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

5 For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on athe things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit, bthe things of the Spirit.

6 aFor the mind set on the flesh is bdeath, but the mind set on the Spirit is life and peace,

7 because the mind set on the flesh is ahostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so,

8 and those who are ain the flesh cannot please God.

9 However, you are not ain the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God bdwells in you. But cif anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.
