1Therefore there is now no condemnation for those in Christ Jesus.2For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.3For what was impossible for the law, in which it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin; he condemned sin in the flesh.4In order that the righteous act of the law might be fulfilled in us who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.5For those who are according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.6For the purpose of the flesh is death, but the purpose of the Spirit is life and peace.7Because the purpose of the flesh is hostility toward God, for it does not submit to the law of God, nor indeed is it able.8Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.9You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, provided that the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.10If Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, yet the Spirit is life because of righteousness.11If the Spirit of the one who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, then the one who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit dwelling in you.12So then, brothers, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh.13For if you live according to the flesh you are about to die, but if by the Spirit you put to death the actions of the body you will live.14For all who are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.15For you did not receive a spirit of slavery again toward fear, but you received a spirit of adoption as son, in which we cry, "Abba, Father."16The Spirit himself testifies together with our spirit that we are children of God.17And if children, then also heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs of Christ—if indeed we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.
