Therefore there is now no ^(C1)condemnation at all for those who are ^(C2)in ^(C3)Christ Jesus.

For ^(C1)the law of the Spirit of life ^(F1)in ^(C2)Christ Jesus ^(C3)has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

For ^(C1)what the Law could not do, ^(F1)(C2)weak as it was through the flesh, God did: sending His own Son in ^(C3)the likeness of ^(F2)sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, He condemned sin in the flesh,

so that the ^(C1)requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us who ^(C2)do not walk ^(F1)according to the flesh but ^(F1)according to the Spirit.

For those who are in accord with the flesh set their minds on ^(C1)the things of the flesh, but those who are in accord with the Spirit, ^(C2)the things of the Spirit.

^(C1)For the mind ^(F1)set on the flesh is ^(C2)death, but the mind ^(F1)set on the Spirit is life and peace,

because the mind ^(F1)set on the flesh is ^(C1)hostile toward God; for it does not subject itself to the law of God, for it is not even able to do so,

and those who are ^(C1)in the flesh cannot please God.

However, you are not ^(C1)in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God ^(C2)dwells in you. But ^(C3)if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.

^(C1)If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is ^(F1)alive because of righteousness.

But if the Spirit of Him who ^(C1)raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, ^(C2)He who raised ^(C3)Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies ^(F1)through His Spirit who dwells in you.

So then, brothers and sisters, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh—

for ^(C1)if you are living in accord with the flesh, you are going to die; but if by the Spirit you are ^(C2)putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

For all who are ^(C1)being led by the Spirit of God, these are ^(C2)sons and daughters of God.

For you ^(C1)have not received a spirit of slavery ^(F1)leading to fear again, but you ^(C2)have received ^(F2)a spirit of adoption as sons and daughters by which we cry out, "^(C3)Abba! ^(F3)Father!"

The Spirit Himself ^(C1)testifies with our spirit that we are ^(C2)children of God,
