Revised Common Lectionary (Complementary)

This Does Mean That There Is Now No Condemnation For Those In Christ Jesus

8 Therefore^[a], there is now no condemnation for the ones in Christ Jesus. ² For the law^[b] of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus set you^[c] 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^[d] 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^[e] sin, He condemned sin in the flesh^[f], ⁴ in order that the requirement^[g] of the Law might be fulfilled in us, the ones walking not in-accordance-with^[h] the flesh, but in accordance with the Spirit.

For The Way of The Flesh Is Death. But You Are Not In The Flesh, But In The Spirit

⁵ For the ones being^[i] in accordance with the flesh are thinking^[j] the things of ^[k] the flesh, but the ones being in accordance with the Spirit, the things of the Spirit. ⁶ For the way-of-thinking of the flesh is death, but the way-of-thinking of the Spirit is life and peace. ⁷ Because the way-of-thinking of the flesh is hostility toward God; for it is not subject^[l] to the Law of God, for it is not even able. ⁸ And the ones being in the flesh are not able to please God.
