    4 So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law through the body of Christ, so that you could be joined to another, to the one who was raised from the dead, to bear fruit to God.

    5 For when we were in the flesh, the sinful desires, aroused by the law, were active in the members of our body to bear fruit for death.

    6 But now we have been released from the law, because we have died to what controlled us, so that we may serve in the new life of the Spirit and not under the old written code.

    7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Absolutely not! Certainly, I would not have known sin except through the law. For indeed I would not have known what it means to desire something belonging to someone else if the law had not said,“Do not covet.”

    8 But sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, produced in me all kinds of wrong desires. For apart from the law, sin is dead.

    9 And I was once alive apart from the law, but with the coming of the commandment sin became alive

    10 and I died. So I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life brought death!

    11 For sin, seizing the opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it I died.

    12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous, and good.

    13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? Absolutely not! But sin, so that it would be shown to be sin, produced death in me through what is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.

    14 For we know that the law is spiritual– but I am unspiritual, sold into slavery to sin.

    15 For I don’t understand what I am doing. For I do not do what I want– instead, I do what I hate.

    16 But if I do what I don’t want, I agree that the law is good.

    17 But now it is no longer me doing it, but sin that lives in me.

    18 For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For I want to do the good, but I cannot do it.

    19 For I do not do the good I want, but I do the very evil I do not want!

    20 Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer me doing it but sin that lives in me.

    21 So, I find the law that when I want to do good, evil is present with me.

    22 For I delight in the law of God in my inner being.

    1 The Believer’s Relationship to the Holy Spirit There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

    2 For the law of the life-giving Spirit in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death.

    3 For God achieved what the law could not do because it was weakened through the flesh. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, he condemned sin in the flesh,

    4 so that the righteous requirement of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

    5 For those who live according to the flesh have their outlook shaped by the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit have their outlook shaped by the things of the Spirit.

    6 For the outlook of the flesh is death, but the outlook of the Spirit is life and peace,

    7 because the outlook of the flesh is hostile to God, for it does not submit to the law of God, nor is it able to do so.

    8 Those who are in the flesh cannot please God.
