Romans 8:1-8

Holman Christian Standard Bible

The Life-Giving Spirit

8 Therefore, no condemnation^(A) now exists for those in^(B) Christ Jesus,^{[a](C) 2} because the Spirit’s law of life^(D) in Christ Jesus has set you^[b] free from the law of sin and of death.^{(E) 3} What the law could not do^(F) since it was limited^[c] by the flesh,^(G) God did. He condemned sin in the flesh by sending His own Son in flesh like ours^(H) under sin’s domain,^[d] and as a sin offering,^{(I) 4} in order that the law’s requirement would be accomplished^(J) in us who do not walk according to the flesh^(K) but according to the Spirit. ⁵ For those who live^[e] according to the flesh think about the things of the flesh,^(L) but those who live^[f] according to the Spirit, about the things of the Spirit. ⁶ For the mind-set of the flesh^(M) is death,^(N) but the mind-set of the Spirit is life and peace. ⁷ For the mind-set of the flesh is hostile^(O) to God because it does not submit itself to God’s law, for it is unable to do so. ⁸ Those who are in the flesh^(P) cannot please God.
