Romans 8:2-4
New International Version
2 because through Christ Jesus(A) the law of the Spirit who gives life(B) has set you[a] free(C) from the law of sin(D) and death. 3 For what the law was powerless(E) to do because it was weakened by the flesh,[b](F) God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh(G) to be a sin offering.[c](H) And so he condemned sin in the flesh, 4 in order that the righteous requirement(I) of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.(J)
