Life in the Spirit

8 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.^{[a] 2} For the law of ^(A)the Spirit of life ^(B)has set you^[b] free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. ³ For ^(C)God has done what the law, ^(D)weakened by the flesh, ^(E)could not do. ^(F)By sending his own Son ^(G)in the likeness of sinful flesh and ^(H)for sin,^[c] he condemned sin in the flesh, ⁴ in order that ^(I)the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, ^(J)who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit. ⁵ For ^(K)those who live according to the flesh set their minds on ^(L)the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on ^(M)the things of the Spirit. ⁶ For to set ^(N)the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace.

¹⁰ and ^(A)have put on ^(B)the new self, ^(C)which is being renewed in knowledge ^(D)after the image of ^(E)its creator. ^11 (F)Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave,^[a] free; but Christ is ^(G)all, and in all.

^12 (H)Put on then, as ^(I)God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, ^(J)compassionate hearts, ^(K)kindness, ^(L)humility, meekness, and patience, ^13 (M)bearing with one another and, ^(N)if one has a complaint against another, ^(O)forgiving each other; ^(P)as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. ¹⁴ And above all these put on ^(Q)love, which ^(R)binds everything together in ^(S)perfect harmony.
