1 There is no condemnation now for those who live in union with Christ Jesus.
2 For the law of the Spirit, which brings us life in union with Christ Jesus, has
set me free from the law of sin and death.
3 What the Law could not do, because human nature was weak, God did. He
condemned sin in human nature by sending his own Son, who came with a nature
like man's sinful nature, to do away with sin.
4 God did this so that the righteous demands of he Law might be fully satisfied in
us who live according to the Spirit, and not according to human nature.
5 Those who live as their human nature tells them to, have their minds controlled
by what human nature wants. Those who live as the Spirit tells them to, have their minds
controlled by what he Spirit wants.
6 To be controlled by human nature results in death; to be controlled by the Spirit
results in life and peace.
7 And so a person becomes an enemy of God when he is controlled by his human
nature; for he does not obey God's law, and in fact he cannot obey it.
8 Those who obey their human nature cannot please God.
