Description

Therefore, [there is] now no condemnation [no adjudging guilty of wrong] for those who are in Christ Jesus, who live [and] walk not after the dictates of the flesh, but after the dictates of the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life [which is] in Christ Jesus [the law of our new begining] has freed me from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the Law could not do, [its power] being weakened by the flesh [the entire nature of man without the Holy Spirit]. Sending His own Son in the guise of sinful flesh and as an offering for sin, [God] condemed sin in the flesh [subdued, overcame, deprived it of its power over all who accept that sacrifice], So that the rightous and just requirement of the Law might be fully met in us who live and move not in the ways of the flesh but in the ways of the Spirit [ our lives governed not by the standards and according to the dictates of the flesh, but controlled by the Holy Spirit]. For those who are according to the flesh and are controlled by its unholy desires set their minds on and pursue those things which gratify the flesh, but those who are according to the Spirit and are controlled by the desires of the Spirit set their minds on and seek those things which gratify the [Holy} Spirit. Now the mind of the flesh [which is sense and reason without the Holy Spirit] is death [death that comprises all miseries arising from sin, both here and hereafter]. But the mind of the [Holy] Spirit is life and [soul] peace [both now and forever]. [That is] because the mind of the flesh [with its carnal thoughts and purposes] is hostile to God, for it does not submit itself to God's Law; indeed it cannot. So then those who are living the life of the flesh [catering to the appetites and inpulses of the carnal nature] cannot please or satisfy God, or be accepted by Him. But you are not living the life of flesh, you are living the life of the Spirit, if the [Holy] Spirit of God [really] dwells in you [directs and controls you]. But if anyone does not posses the [Holy] Spirit of Christ, he is none of His [he does not belong to Christ, is not truly a child of God]. But if Christ lives in you, [then although] your [natrual] body is dead by reason of sin and guilt, the spirit is alive because of [the] rightousness [that He imputes to you]. And if the Spirit of Him Who raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in you, [then] He Who raised up Christ Jesus from the dead will also restore to life your (short-lived, perishable) bodies through His Spirit Who dwells in you. Romans 8:1-12
