*
There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus .
*
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death .
*
For God has done what the law ,
weakened by the flesh ,
could not do :
sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin ,
he condemned sin in the flesh ,
*
in order that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us ,
who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit .
*
For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh ,
but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit .
*
To set the mind on the flesh is death ,
but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace .
*
For the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God ;
it does not submit to God '
s law ,
indeed it cannot ;
*
and those who are in the flesh cannot please God .
*
But you are not in the flesh ,
you are in the Spirit ,
if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you .
Any one who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him .
*
But if Christ is in you ,
although your bodies are dead because of sin ,
your spirits are alive because of righteousness .
*
If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you ,
he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit which dwells in you .
*
So then ,
brethren ,
we are debtors ,
not to the flesh ,
to live according to the flesh --
*
for if you live according to the flesh you will die ,
but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body you will live .
*
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God .
*
For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear ,
but you have received the spirit of sonship .
When we cry , "
Abba !
Father !"
*
it is the Spirit himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God ,
*
and if children ,
then heirs ,
heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ ,
provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him .
