    3For what the law was not able to do because it was feeble through the flesh, God, sending his Son in the image of the evil flesh, and as an offering for sin, gave his decision against sin in the flesh:

    4So that what was ordered by the law might be done in us, who are living, not in the way of the flesh, but in the way of the Spirit.

    5For those who are living in the way of the flesh give their minds to the things of the flesh, but those who go in the way of the Spirit, to the things of the Spirit.

    4In the same way, my brothers, you were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, even to him who came again from the dead, so that we might give fruit to God.

    5For when we were in the flesh, the evil passions which came into being through the law were working in our bodies to give the fruit of death.

    6But now we are free from the law, having been made dead to that which had power over us; so that we are servants in the new way of the spirit, not in the old way of the letter.

    7What then is to be said? is the law sin? in no way. But I would not have had knowledge of sin but for the law: for I would not have been conscious of desire if the law had not said, You may not have a desire for what is another's.

    8But sin, taking its chance through that which was ordered by the law, was working in me every form of desire: because without the law sin is dead.

    9And there was a time when I was living without the law: but when the law gave its orders, sin came to life and put me to death;

    10And I made the discovery that the law whose purpose was to give life had become a cause of death:

    11For I was tricked and put to death by sin, which took its chance through the law.

    8So that those who are in the flesh are not able to give pleasure to God.

    9You are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if the Spirit of God is in you. But if any man has not the Spirit of Christ he is not one of his.

    10And if Christ is in you, the body is dead because of sin, but the Spirit is life because of righteousness.

    11But if the Spirit of him who made Jesus come again from the dead is in you, he who made Christ Jesus come again from the dead will in the same way, through his Spirit which is in you, give life to your bodies which now are under the power of death.

    12So then, my brothers, we are in debt, not to the flesh to be living in the way of the flesh:

    13For if you go in the way of the flesh, death will come on you; but if by the Spirit you put to death the works of the body, you will have life.

    13Was then that which is good, death to me? In no way. But the purpose was that sin might be seen to be sin by working death to me through that which is good; so that through the orders of the law sin might seem much more evil.
