Romans 8:2-4
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
2 For the law[a] of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus set you[b] free from the law of sin and death!
For God Did What The Law Could Not Do, For Those Walking In The Spirit
3 For the thing impossible[c] for the Law, in that it was weak through the flesh, God did. Having sent His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for[d] sin, He condemned sin in the flesh[e], 4 in order that the requirement[f] of the Law might be fulfilled in us, the ones walking not in-accordance-with[g] the flesh, but in accordance with the Spirit.

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)
