25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!(A)

So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law,(B) but in my sinful nature[a] a slave to the law of sin.(C)

Life Through the Spirit

Therefore, there is now no condemnation(D) for those who are in Christ Jesus,(E) because through Christ Jesus(F) the law of the Spirit who gives life(G) has set you[b] free(H) from the law of sin(I) and death. For what the law was powerless(J) to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[c](K) God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh(L) to be a sin offering.[d](M) And so he condemned sin in the flesh, in order that the righteous requirement(N) of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.(O)
