The Life-Giving Spirit

Therefore, no condemnation(A) now exists for those in(B) Christ Jesus,[a](C) because the Spirit’s law of life(D) in Christ Jesus has set you[b] free from the law of sin and of death.(E) What the law could not do(F) since it was limited[c] by the flesh,(G) God did. He condemned sin in the flesh by sending His own Son in flesh like ours(H) under sin’s domain,[d] and as a sin offering,(I) in order that the law’s requirement would be accomplished(J) in us who do not walk according to the flesh(K) but according to the Spirit. For those who live[e] according to the flesh think about the things of the flesh,(L) but those who live[f] according to the Spirit, about the things of the Spirit.
