3 For (A)what the Law could not do, [a](B)weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in (C)the likeness of [b]sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh, 4 so that the (D)requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us who (E)do not walk [c]according to the flesh but [d]according to the Spirit. 5 For those who are in accord with the flesh set their minds on (F)the things of the flesh, but those who are in accord with the Spirit, (G)the things of the Spirit.

3 For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:
4 That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
