1 There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus;
2 for the Spirit's Law – telling of Life in Christ Jesus– has set me free from the Law that deals only with sin and death.
3 For what was impossible to the Law –powerless as it was because it acted through frail humanity– God effected. Sending His own Son in a body like that of sinful human nature and as a sacrifice for sin, He pronounced sentence upon sin in human nature;
4 in order that in our case the requirements of the Law might be fully met. For our lives are regulated not by our earthly, but by our spiritual natures.
