Romans 8:1-4

Life in the Spirit

¹ There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. ₁ ² For the law of _h the Spirit of life _i has set you ₂ free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. ³ For _j God has done what the law, _k weakened by the flesh, _l could not do. _m By sending his own Son _n in the likeness of sinful flesh and _o for sin, ₃ he condemned sin in the flesh, ⁴ in order that _p the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, _q who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
