Romans 8:1-8 NIV
1 Therefore, there is now no
condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,
2 because through Christ Jesus
the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and
death.
3 For what the law was
powerless to do in that it was weakened by the sinful nature, God
did by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful man to be a sin
offering. And so he condemned sin in sinful man,
4 in order that the righteous
requirements of the law might be fully met in us, who do not live
according to the sinful nature but according to the Spirit.
5 Those who live according to the sinful nature have their
minds set on what that nature desires; but those who live in
accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit
desires.
6 The mind of sinful man is
death, but the mind controlled by the Spirit is life and peace;
7 the sinful mind is hostile to
God. It does not submit to God's law, nor can it do so.
8 Those controlled by the
sinful nature cannot please God. |
