Therefore, there is now no con-
demnation for those who are in
Christ Jesus, because through
Chnst Jesus the law of the Spmt
who gives life has set you free
from the law of sin and death.
For what the law was powerless
to do because it was weakened
by the flesh. God did by sending
his own Son in the likeness of
sinful flesh to be a sin offering.
